= WELCOME TO MS. TEALL'S TECHNOLOGY WIKI! =

__ **A Bit About Me** __
I would like to welcome you all to my Wiki page. My name is Ms. Teall and I am a soon to be K-12 Art teacher.Currently, I am a second year Senior at Missouri State University. I will graduate from Missouri State in May 2013 with a Bachelor's of Science in Education (Art Emphasis) and a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Painting. I am very excited to start my career as a teacher and show children how enjoyable and applicable art can be for/to them. It is important to connect art lessons to the children's lives so they can be more engaged in the art making process. I hope to bring that idea to the table when I begin to teach in my own classroom.

__ This Wiki's Purpose __
The purpose of this wiki is to foster collaboration online through technology. I will use this like a simple database for people to come read, learn, and add their own information for others to see as well. The information will be ever changing and evolving. I will use this as a way to post community events, school happenings and open forum discussion. Like wet paint the information never dries.

__ Contact Information __
If you need to reach me my email is teall2003@hotmail.com (I do not check it everyday but I will respond as quickly as I can)

__ Classroom Examples of Wiki Usage __
There is a wide variety of applications for the Wiki in a classroom. Many teachers are using the Wiki as a way to run their classroom efficiently. Almost all of the student's work is turned in as an online document. It is being used as a way to display an evolving calendar for class schedules and projects. I think that is a great way to keep everyone on task. Another way that teacher's are using Wiki's effectively in the classroom is by assigning group work that needs to be completed over the Wiki site. For example, in an English class the students can post their assignment to the Wiki page and then have another classmate log in and go through their writings and edit the work to better prepare the students for their final submissions for their grade.
