I have always loved working with kids, but my desire to become a teacher started when I was hired as a lifeguard and swim instructor. I really enjoyed working with the students and teaching them how to swim. I really enjoyed watching the students start out as beginner swimmers and then progress to swimming the length of the pool. It is also fun to see the students’ reaction when they finally understand a concept that we had been working on for a little while. To watch the students’ progress and have fun while learning is a very exciting aspect of teaching. As a teacher I would love to teach grades kindergarten through third.
In this class, Technology in Education, I wish to learn how to integrate all the new technology with the curriculum that I will be using within the classroom. I’m excited to read through the blogs of other teachers, in order to see the different experiences that other educators encounter. As well as, the articles concerning technology and how it can be applied in a teaching environment.
Thanks for the thoughtful reflection Ariel. I am so glad that you are excited for a career in education. I can tell you that there is nothing quite like it. Your blog looks great! See you Tuesday.

I have never been a lifeguard but I think it's a really cool job to have :) I'm happy to hear that you have a desire to teach and that you also want to see students improve in all that they do.. You will be a great instructor :)
