Well Hi there everyone,
This is Elizabeth Hayden. I am so happy to be enrolled in in Technology 560, I feel there is a wealth of new knowledge for me to learn.
I received my undergrad degree in Psychology from Loyola University in Chicago. Upon completion of my undergrad program I began working in a preschool program. During my third year at the preschool, I came to know a boy who was being screened in order to receive special education services. I grew quite fond of working with this little boy and began to pursue working with students with special needs. My new found desire brought me to Camelot, this is a therapeutic day school that provides services to students with special needs. After working at Camelot for two years I decided to take my passion for students with special needs further and enrolled in Dominican's Masters of Special Education program. Currently I am starting my second year in the SPED program. Due to the very long commute, I no longer work at Camelot. I now work for Glenwood Academy, which like Camelot is a school designed specifically for students with special needs. At Glenwood I work in a second and third grade split classroom with students who are ED/BD. I am passionate about the students I work with, and I am passionate about my future career choice. Further, I am very excited to learn how to integrate technology into the classroom in order to enhance students learning.
