Information About Me

My name is Christin Chapman, I am originally from Vancleave Mississippi. However,I now live in Hattiesburg with my husband Patrick and our Boxer puppy Molly. I am an Elementary Education major and my endorsements are in Art and Science. After graduation I plan to teach for one year to give teaching a chance. By graduation I will have taken all the prerequisites for Physical Therapy so if I do not enjoy teaching I plan to apply to PT School at the University of Mississippi in Jackson. As far as my background in technology, I feel that I know the general basics to technology. I know enough to get by with the day to day tasks of school and am able to properly use social networks. I have taken about three computer courses in my past, this class being the fourth. I know I have a lot to learn and am thankful I have to take this class. I believe that technology in education is very beneficial and that students should be exposed to as many new areas of technology as reasonably possible. The world we live in is full of new technology and it is important for students to be able to understand and use technology properly.
