Issues and Trends in Emerging Learning Technology

Hi there, I'm Carleigh! 

I am a Senior at the University of Florida studying Education Sciences with a specialization in Technology. I was born and raised in Punta Gorda, Florida, which is a few hours South of the University of Florida campus. I have experience working in a Montessori classroom with three to five-year-olds. I have also taught a technology program for Kindergartners at the Montessori school. I was able to learn and experience Montessori Education as well as grow to love the benefits of Montessori teaching. I enjoy creating lesson plans using different tools and resources available online. I would love to have the opportunity to become an Instructional Designer, where I can create and design curriculum. I enjoy learning about new software that can be used within the classroom as well as the benefits they can aid in the student's learning experience. I am interested in learning more about the use of technology in the education field and how I could apply it in a career. This is my last year here at University of Florida. I am sad to part ways but I am thankful for the education I have received here and excited to use it in the field.
