The Journey Begins

Hi, and welcome to my blog!

My name is Mindy Pierce, and I am from Kingsport, TN. I am currently a senior pursuing teacher licensure in secondary mathematics. I will graduate from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville this May. Next academic year, I will begin my internship in a high school here in Knoxville and will receive my master's degree in education in May 2014.

I am so looking forward to becoming a teacher! I have always known that my heart belonged to this profession, but it took me a while to find a love for mathematics. Now, thanks to two inspiring mathematics teachers in high school, I could not picture myself doing anything else. I hope to spread this love for mathematics to all of my future students!

TPTE 486 has already been packed full of fun! I am enjoying learning about websites, wikis, and now, blogs. I consider myself an intermediate technology guru, and I hope that this course will help me to gain advanced status, especially when integrating technology into my classroom. Indeed, I am starting to see the educational benefits of each of the tools we have explored thus far. I am ready to see what else we can do with these, and other, web-based tools in the classroom. In addition, I hope that this course will help me make my classroom fun and interactive, as I aim to inspire all of my students to love learning!

I hope that you enjoy my journey!
