Ekaterina+Katzarova

Hello,



My name is Ekaterina Katzarova and I am originally from Sofia, Bulgaria. I came to the United States in 2001 when I was 12 years old with my family. I recently graduated from UC with two Bachelor’s degrees in Spanish and Journalism and a minor in Public Relations. I am currently in the 4+1 MA program in Spanish and wanting to become licensed in ESL. I feel the strong need to help foreign students who don’t know English when they arrive to the States. I would like to help them since I used to be in their place when I first arrived, I believe that this will give me a great advantage since I know how difficult it is to learn the language when you are challenged by a complete and sudden immersion in another culture.

Hope for this class: To improve my knowledge of technology and to learn how to effective apply it in the classroom curriculum.

Your fear for this class: None

This image of the click of the mouse shows me how easily accessible the internet is, thus knowledge is at our finger tips. It is also necessary to know how to apply the knowledge appropriately in the learning process by the usage of technology.

I commented on Darcy Moore's blog post where he created a poll and asked:how many teachers at your school use social media tools - Twitter, Google+, FB, Maang, blogs, wikis, Youtube - to create content, connect and collaborate? Here is my response: http://darcymoore.net/2011/11/20/teachers-and-social-media/#comment-72338
