About Me

My photo
I'm a Theatre education major at Texas A&M University-Commerce. I want to teach theatre (if you couldn't tell from my major) either at the High School or University level. The best thing is being on stage and performing. It is an amazing experience every time. I'm the Director of the University's Improv Comedy troupe, Cricket City Improv. I also do a little stand-up/sit-down comedy (forgive my wheelchair humor). I love meeting new people so if I don't know you don't be afraid to talk to me. I'm not too weird.

Voice Thread

This is an innovative technology that expands the capacity of education around the world. With this technology teachers can talk and teach students without even being present in the same country. It allows for an expansion of the classroom environment that was never thought possible. This innovation is a great tool for teachers to reach their students no matter where they may be. This is a gift to education because it makes it possible for those who aren't able to get to a school to have access to a quality education. Now there is a never ending possibility for the reach of the education system.
I'm not sure if this tool is something I will use but, I know it is available if I do need it. I could use it to teach students who are sick or if I have to go out of town for any reason I could set it up in the classroom so my students don't lose any of the learning experience I promised them. This tool is a great way to reach those who thought that education was out of reach. Because of voice thread we can bring the classroom where ever they are.
