About me ...

I am Amanda Reed. I am a student at the University of South Alabama. I started my college CAREER in the spring of 2005. I have made a lifetime experience out of college. I started out not knowing what I wanted to do with my life. I knew I wanted to be able to touch the lives of children everyday for the rest of my life. I love working with kids and I love making a difference in someone's life. I started out thinking social work would be my route to take. Once I began the schooling for that, I decided maybe not. Social work really is not really the way I wanted to be involved with children. So now I have started my final goal of being an elementary school teacher. I am an only child with two wonderful parents. I am from Alexander City, Alabama (small town USA.) Once I finish school I am not really sure where the road will take me. I know I do not want to go back to my hometown , but I will find somewhere to call my home.

Tools

Tools are very useful!!!


There are so many different tools I have recently learned about to help connect with others all over the world. I have learned how to Skype someone without it even mattering where they are located in the world. I have learned how to use Twitter, Facebook, and blogging to be able to interact with many different teachers and professionals and even classrooms all over the world to learn new ideas. There are so many tools to help increase knowledge it is unreal. I just hope that I will be able to put these ideas to work whenever I get into my classroom. I am sure there are many more tools to be learned.
