Hi

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.
