Bio and Expectations

Biography and Expectations

Short Intro

My name is Shannon McCool. I am a senior majoring in elementary education. I want to teach 3rd grade because it was my favorite and I like that students are still new to the school environment, yet know what to expect and how to behave in the classroom. I enjoy reading, no favorite book, but I like to read various books that people recommend me.

Informal Introduction to Class

I was born and raised in Michigan. I moved to Tennessee about 4 years ago with my best friend. She wanted to attend UT’s criminal psychology program. I moved just because. I currently work at Loomis, an armored car company, so I work with millions of $ everyday. Pretty cool job to have while a student. I just got engaged (like a week ago). I’m very excited, but have no clue where to start as far as planning a wedding. In my spare time my fiancee and I travel back and forth to Memphis (his hometown) and Michigan. I enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking, swimming, and camping. I just discovered ziplining, it’s amazing! As far as technology, I know very little. I check my facebook and e-mail often as well as write papers on Word documents. My fiancee is exceptionally well with computers, so when I have an issue he fixes it. I am looking forward to finally learning about computers and technology.

Course Expectations

I am hoping that this class gives me a better understanding and use for technology in the classroom as well as out. I have very little knowledge of computers and technology, but I hope this class changes that. I hope to discover shortcuts to doing basic documents and profiles. I hope to feel confident enough to create a website that I can use to communicate with my students and parents.
