Harrison Professional / Personal Interests
With the completion of this degree program I will be more effective when
helping the teachers at my school incorporate technology into their
lessons. Likewise, I am considering moving into technology related
positions such as a technology coach for a school or district. I have a
Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics from Francis Marion University and
a Master’s in Library & Information Science from the University of South
Carolina.
Currently, I am in my third year as media specialist at two elementary
schools. However, my career in education started in the
classroom. I taught mathematics at the high school level for seven
years and one year at the middle school level. I then worked as a
media specialist for six years at the high school level before obtaining my
current position. In each position as media specialist I have served
as the technology wizard. It requires me to troubleshoot technology
related issues, as well as provide technology assistance and training for
teachers. In fact, in my current school district I was trained as an
Apple Vanguard Educator, which enables me to teach others in the district
what I have learned. In addition, over the years I have attended
technology courses, workshops, and conferences that are related to the use
of technology in the classroom.
I like to read in my spare time. Also, I am trying to be more creative
by experimenting with crafts. Some of my projects include origami
flowers, paracord bracelets and lanyards, seat crates, using mod podge to
decorate wooden letters, etc. In the process, I learned that hot glue
really is hot. :-) I am not even close to being an expert, but I enjoy
learning and trying new things.
