Teaching Presentation

The audience I choose for my presentation would be children. My grade level I'd like to teach would be first grade. The subject area I am most interested in is Mathematics. I've been working with kids for awhile now and I feel more connected with this specfic grade level mainly from work experience. I figured since that's what my career path is it should be in that direction. I choose Google presentation because I was honestly confused with the Prezi powerpoint, I decided to use something else I may be some what familiar with. I did not want to make anything any harder than what it seemed so I choose what was best for me.

Three Great Teacher Blogs

The first teacher blog I found that I thought was good was Kathleen Morris, http://primarytech.global2.vic.edu.au/. Her blog was update but it also caught my attention with all the important informaion and the by the way her page is set up. Her links and information are accurate and I myself would see myself using this blog as a resource in the future.

The second teacher blog is Deborah J. Stewart,  http://www.teachpreschool.org/. I chose this blog because not only is it very updated but there are picture and explanations through the blog of everything the class does and the reason behind the activity they've posted. This blog mainly goes with the grade level I may be teaching and it also influences my work skills because I do work with preschoolers so I could possible use some of these lessons with my kids.

Lastly Mrs. Larremore, http://larremoreteachertips.blogspot.com/. I found this blog to be very organized and very eye catching with the different colors and pictures throughout the blog. Her ideas and tips could be very helpful for anyone in the ECD field like myself. The blog even offers little lessons and how to go about using them with the kids. I liked the ideas and information posted on this blog.

Welcome to my Blog

Hey, My names Akilah Williamson. I work full time and I'm also a full time student. Work first play later is a motto I do go by. When I do have free time once homework is done I do enjoy watching tv or just spending quality time with family and friends. I like to have fun and try new and different things. I'm still young so I might as well get my fun out now before it gets to late. Lol. I'm only 21 years old, I am still looking for my own place to live but for now I reside with my loving mother and my twin sister. I'm the middle child. I love working which you don't here that often. My job and school do come first its a priority not just an option.

I just recently changed my major back to Early Childhood Development because of the job I recieved. I've been back and for between ECD and Business Managment. I think this is the career path I would really love to follow. I've been working with kids since I was a kid myself. I started out babysitting and then my mom started her own in house daycare where I was around kids and helping my mom out as I grew up. I wanted to follow in my moms footsteps and start up my own daycare but at the same time I wanted to be a teacher. So right now I'm currently thinking of a way so that I can do both. If it's possible. I reached high school I began to volunteer at a before and after school program, where I started looking at being a teacher in my future. The past 3 years I've worked at a daycare center and I believe you're suppose to do something you like and I enjoy waking up and going to work every day.
