=Welcome to Kim Talley's Educational Leadership in Technology E-Portfolio!=

The pages of this wiki have every reflection of each course I have taken through Lamar University. It also has the embedded courses needed for the class.
My career as an educator began twenty-four years ago. I had planned to teach eighth grade science, but accepted a job teaching third graders. My remaining experience has been in second grade. I have always been interested in technology. I was very excited when they introduced computers into our classroom. I did not know how to use them for teaching except as a typewriter. Then the World Wide Web became available which really had an impact on my interest for technology. My plan for the future is to start teaching technology to the instructors at our school. I want to help them integrate technology into the classroom. I was watching a video from our PD360 site, and the man lecturing said, “91% of all jobs have some kind of technology associated with it- teaching is not one of them” (Daggett). That phrase really stuck with me. If 91% of all jobs require technology, this should be a priority for educators. This is one of the reasons I decided to take this master’s program.
