Student+Profile+Page+Mary-EllenQ

This is pretty exciting...I figured out how to get to this point in the assignment. Now if I can figure out how to add a photo I'm home free! As I said in my official profile, I teach special ed students, ages 14-17 (grades 9-12). I'd like to keep up with these kids because I often feel that the one way to get them to listen is to engage them with technology. They love technology and games. So this means I've got to become more technical or rather, I've got to learn what they know in order to gain their respect. My favorite game is non-techy, it's UNO which I enjoy playing with my son. My favorite digital game is Ms. Pacman. An Oldie but goodie for sure. When I lived in Japan space invaders was just coming out. In my utter ignorance I thought it would never catch on! LOL. Now I have two, yes, two 13 year olds that keep me on my toes (in addition to my students.) This picture is what they looked like when they were not gamers.

This picture is what they look like now after gaming for 11 years!
