My name is Pam and I am a grad student at MSMC. I am passionate about teaching young children and I am so thankful for everything I have learned thus far at MSMC. My blog is titled Teaching to Learn and Learning to Teach because I believe that we are all lifelong learners. As we move into our careers as teachers we will be continuously learning from our peers and students. Happy blogging!

9 Commandments for Technology
The nine rules for technology article posted on moodle was definitely interesting. When thinking in terms of "elevators and light switches" it does make sense. Technology has come a very long way in the past years….especially in the past ten. Internet is readily available everywhere, you can connect much faster, and most if not all people are at least trained in basic computer skills. However, to make this work on a continuum, classrooms need to be readily equipped with such technology for the teachers and students. It is too much of a hassle for five or more classrooms to have to share a TV, DVD player, computer etc. These are essentials that need to be incorporated into classrooms. They are necessary in today's world when giving our students the best opportunities to learn.
