Hi! My name is Kristin Jorgensen and I am currently enrolled in CI501. I am a fifth grade teacher in Chicago, IL. I teach at an independent Catholic school. I teach in a school that has single sex eduation so most of my day is spent teaching girls in all subject areas; math, language arts, and social studies. I teach one section of all boys social studies also. I have been teaching for 8 years at my current school. Before that, I taught 4 years in Houston, TX and one year in St. John, USVI.
I am starting this masters program because I thought the subject matter sounded interesting and I wanted to pursue a graduate degree. Also, I found the idea of completing my graduate degree in a distance learning intriguing. My goals for this particular class are to become more familiar with various types of technology, be able to share my knowledge with my students in the fall, and learn more about instructional technology in general. Since this is my first graduate class, I also am looking forward to meeting the professors and fellow students. I think this course will be quite challenging and I hope that I can be successful at it.
I am supposed to discuss a unique characteristic I have. I am having a difficult time coming up with something extremely unique about myself, but I guess one thing that might be different about me is that I am a female who really enjoys sports. I played softball growing up- although I'm not very talented at a lot of sports, I really enjoy watching them and I enjoy coaching. I love going to Cubs games. If I can catch a Cyclone game on TV, that is always a plus. Not only do I like watching sports, but I'm pretty well versed in the aspects of most sports; rules, players, etc. Particularly, I enjoy college sports like football and basketball, but I also like pro baseball and football. So when I do attend a game, I not only enjoy the atmosphere, but I also can follow the action. Not the most unique or interesting trait, but something that is a part of me.
