All About Me
Hello! My name is Jane Woodside and I am from a very small town called Kittanning, PA. While the town is small my family certainly isnāt. I have FIVE siblings making me the sixth child, and yes⦠I am #6 and the baby. Aside from my siblings I have 4 nephews, one niece, and two more nieces on the way!
I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood and Special Education. Since, I have enrolled into obtaining my Masterās degree in Education with my Reading Specialist certification. I am currently a 7thĀ and 8thĀ grade Emotional Support Teacher at Armstrong Jr/Sr High School. All of my students have been diagnosed with Emotional Disturbances, and a few students with additional diagnoses such as Autism, ADHD, or Other Health Impairments. I currently have 16 students on my roster. While my job can be challenging, I absolutely love it.
I like to think I am familiar and have a lot of experience with mobile devices. I have been an Apple user most of my adult life while using my iPhone, MacBook, or iPad. However, a lot of the apps I use on a daily basis are more for my personal use and not as much of an educational/academic use.
I chose this class because my students absolutely love using technology in the classroom. I have been trying to find and search new ways to incorporate technology into their daily schedules. I like to use computers as a reward for my students, so even digging into the fun side of technology and secretly trick them into learning while they think theyāre just having fun on the computer.
