Hello EDUC 573

Hello, my name is Christie Bryant and I teach 5th grade at Jesse D. Lay Elementary School. I have been teaching for 5 years going into my sixth year and try to use technology as much as I can in my classroom. I love learning new forms of technology that I can use in my classroom, students seem to respond better and soak up more knowledge than the old pen and pencil methods...lol. I have one little girl that will be seven in August and she thinks she should be 18 with her smarty pants personality but she is my pride and joy. She loves playing on the computer, smart board, apps on her IPad and they are educational and at times she doesn't realize how much it's benefitting her. I am really excited about taking this class and learning more about technology that I can use in my classroom.

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.
