Welcome to my educational blog! Let me tell you a bit about myself:
I am in my first year (out of one and one-half years) of a Master of Arts in Teaching Program at Chatham University where I am earning a master's and certification in Secondary English Education. My undergraduate course study was completed in English Literature (BA), Jazz-Music (BA) and in Medeival and Renaissance Studies (certificate). I consider myself to be averagely computer literate, but I'm improving my skills. The most technology that I've seen in the classroom thus far has actually been at my own high school-- when I was a sophomore we received a Digital School District Grant. Each student and teacher was equipped with a laptop; each room was equipped with projectors/smart boards, charging carts, and wireless access. We used Imovie, Power Point, and internet research as a staple during classroom activities. Since then, much more has become available on the internet for educational use-- I hope to explore some of these in this blog.

Medeival and Renaissance Studies ... did you have to learn any period langauges? I mean, there's more to history and literature, but I think the most fun I had in college was the Old English class. Which I guess is sad. :-)
I had to study Old and Middle English to the extent of being able to read them in one class, and translated a bit of Italian-- I actually wished that I had learned more in terms of languages. Most of the certificate was period history, literature and music. How was your Old English class structured? That sounds like a lot of fun :)
The technology grant your high school received sounds like it was a great intro to technology use.
