My Wiki: NETS III and V

In order to effectively use the new and everchanging technology in the classroom, it is important for teachers to continue to learn and develop digital skills. One artifact in which I participated in a local learning community to explore creative applications of technology is the use of an online Wiki. A Wiki will allow me to collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation.

Brian Kane

 Hello class, my name is Brian Kane. I am from Valley Center Ca. I was born at Palomar Hospital in Escondido. I went to Valley Center for my primary education, but had to go to Orange Glen High School because Valley Center did not have a high school back in the days. I am a disabled veteran; I broke my back in the Army in 1997. I again broke my back in 2004, and that is the reason I am starting all over. I am married and have two beautiful children. I love all sports, and I besides with my family I spend it watching ESPN.
I am not very technology savvy. I have three computers at home, all are PC.s. One uses Microsoft XL that is the desk top. I have an ASUS laptop, it uses Vista, and I have a Dell Laptop which uses Vista. Besides what I am told I do not know much about any of the three systems. I am hoping to learn more in this class and hopefully be able to be in the 2000 century.
The part of the mission statement I like most is the diversity. I feel that I am a diverse person. I can talk to anyone at any time. I tend to call myself a chameleon. I was in door to door sales for nine years and have no problem dealing with everyone. In today’s classroom, a teacher of tomorrow needs to have patience with our practices of demonstrating a commitment to student-centered education, diversity, collaboration, professionalism, and shared governance.
