Hello to all those in EDUC 573. My name is Bridget Maggard, I am the Federal Programs Coordinator in Perry County, Kentucky. Prior to beginning my work at the district office I was a Special Education teacher.

Getting to know me

My name is Joye Smith, and I am from Jacksboro, Tennessee.  I teach 6th grade Reading and English at Jacksboro Middle School.  I have 5 children, and their interests are my hobbies.  I'm comfortable with technology, but only on the basic level. By no means am I a technology expert, and I have so much to learn. I look forward to this class, and I hope to expand on my technology skills.

Endless Highways of Information

Endless Highways of Information

I am so amazed at how fast everything continues to change on the internet daily.   I find it so fascinating, yet so frustrating that my brain can’t absorb the information as quickly as I want it too… No matter what topic I research, I always find myself reading about something else in addition to my initial search topic. 

There are no closed doors, just infinite number of highways that will take us exactly where we want to go or the opportunities to explore new roads. 

After taking this course it is comforting to know that no matter how distracted we get , we can always find our way back with a map of where we went and a place to keep all them.
