email

Email is something that I remember entering our home when I was probably 8 years old. I got my first email account when I was 11. It was a Juno account which I still use today. Email has made corresponding with people so convenient. From writing my best friend when he’s deployed in Iraq to sending my roommate a web link email is immeasurably useful tool. Outlook is an even more complex system which I was introduced to when I came to Grove City. It is great being able to send information electronically. I can send my assignments to my professors and I can send pictures to my Mom.

When I am teaching I am going to use email to contact the parents of my students. It is a great way to send the same message to several people at one time. I will be able to construct a contact list and easily send assignments out to parents and students. I am certain that I will use email to keep in touch with other teachers. I hope to build my knowledge in Social Studies and in teaching methods so getting on mailing lists for various teachers organizations would also be helpful. As I anticipate building solid relationships with my students I see email being helpful in keeping in contact with my graduated students. Email is just an excellent and convenient way to function in this world. I am very thankful for it, and the many unforeseen uses I will have for it in my career as an educator.
