Get LinkedIn to Employment Opportunities!

    As the semester comes to a close, our journey around the world wide web is also coming to an end. However, we have one last stop to make before wrapping everything up. LinkedIn is a professional site that allows potential employers to create and appropriate online presence and make connections to hopefully get hired. Employers and companies can also create profiles to recruit future employees.
    I do not have any previous experience with LinkedIn, but I have heard many great things about how useful it can be. I have done a bit of research on what is appropriate to include in my profile, and I am gearing up to accomplish this task and begin creating my professional online persona. The one thing that I must keep in mind is that it is a professional form of social media, not a personal form like Twitter and Facebook. I will work to put only professional content on my profile, and I will continue to keep you updated as I go! Thank you for sticking with me on our last adventure, and it is sure to be a great one.

Teacher Resources is Up and Running!


Hello again everyone! After a few weeks of hard work, my exploration of creating my own website is complete! As mentioned earlier, a group made up of me and three of my classmates settled on creating a website focused on young, aspiring elementary school teachers by providing them with various activities and resources in a fun, light atmosphere. I was in charge of the home page, my about me page, and the classroom layouts page.

 Since this was my first time creating a website, I learned a lot from the project. I now fell a lot more confident creating my own web page, and I feel that I have the necessary skills to be successful. I know that this attribute will come in handy as I begin teaching, so I can keep parents and students up to date with everything going on in my classroom easily and effectively.
