PowerPoint- NETS I, II, III, & V

Using Microsoft PowerPoint, I created a PowerPoint presentation choosing the grades PK- 2nd grade. I incorporated different ways I could approach NETS-T into my classroom, and came up with one lesson plan per NETS. PowerPoint can be used for various things and subjects; You are able to upload pictures, clipart, and decorate each slide any way you'd like to, so it is visually pleasing to your audience.

Introduction

Hello! My name is Alexandra Bianco, but you can call me Alex; I have gone by it my whole life = ). I am twenty- one years old, and a desert native; born and raised in Palm Springs, California. The winters there are perfect, however the summers are unbearable. I received most of my education in Palm Springs. I started my kindergarten education at Cahuilla Elementary School. After kindergarten, my parents decided to send me to St. Theresa School, a private Catholic school, also located in Palm Springs. I attended St. Theresa from first through eighth grade. After graduating, I then started my high school education at Palm Springs High School. I attended all four years, and graduated in 2006. The fall after I decided to attend College of the Desert, a community college located in Palm Desert, Ca, which is about thirty minutes from Palm Springs. I really did not know what I wanted to do after high school, so I figured going to a community college would help me decide. I attended College of the Desert for three years, and during those three years, I realized I had a passion in working with children. This is when I decided teaching would not only allow me to work with children, but also to mold them into all they can be. I recently moved to San Diego this past summer, to attend Cal State San Marcos. I am in the ICP program, and plan to get my teaching credential in Fall 2012.

I would say I am definitely a technology person! Who isn't nowadays? I use technology every day! However, Computers are probably my least specialty. I know how to do the easy things, such as: making a document, sending and receiving email, doing a powerpoint presentation, and checking my facebook. Other than that, I don't know any of the high tech things! I am very excited to take this class, in hoping that it will better my computer skills! I am a PC user, although I wish I had a Macbook! As of right now I do not have Microsoft Office on my computer, but instead have Microsoft Works. Besides my laptop, I recently got an Iphone, and it is my baby = ); I am on it all the time! I watch T.V. when I have time outside of school, and I love to listen to music, so I definitely would say I am a technology person = ).

Although when applying to Cal State San Marcos' COE, the mission statement was not a factor, the second and third sentence of CSUSM's College of Education mission statement has a profound impact on the ideal teacher I wish to become. I believe social justice, equality, and diversity are such important factors in creating a positive classroom environment. With these factors, young children learn to respect others and to treat fellow peers/classmates all the same.
