ED. 279 - Self Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Kristi Fuchikami and this is my third year @ LCC.

(This is a picture of my siblings and I while we were visiting our grandparents. I'm the one in the middle).

I love using computers for everything from keeping in touch with friends and family (via email, chat, or Facebook) to making slideshows of the different activities I've done to writing essays and assignments for school.

 I honestly enjoy doing group projects because it helps everyone to get to know their classmates better. I'll do my best to help my group accomplish whatever task we are given. I am generally good with emails and check them at least every other day. I can be a leader or a follower. As for skills and traits, I've used Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and know how to use Windows Media to make a video.

I found this video of teachers emphasizing the importance of using technology in the classroom for various reasons. I like this video because they make the point that using technology as a tool can help reach different students (i.e. shy students are able to express themselves via a blog post or video whereas they might not answer questions in class or like to present a speech).

I hope to get to know you all as the Fall semester continues.
