Self-introduction My name is Corey Lee and I am a sophomore at Coastal Carolina University. My major is Middle Level Education for English and Social Studies. I want to teach high school though, so I will earn my degree in that later on. I want to teach because I have had a few teachers who have made a big impact on me.
Educational philosophy There are many things in my life that I can and can’t remember as a child growing up. Throughout my life starting as at a young age I was always involved and active in various sports and groups. A lot of the events in my life from birth until now are extremely important factors on how I got to be where I am now. I was born on December 9, 1995 in Kensington, Maryland at Holy Cross Hospital. Being the 5th child, I was now the youngest. I grew up in Rockville, Maryland in a house with all my older siblings until my two younger sisters were born just a few years after me. At the time being the youngest, all my siblings remember taking care of me while my parents were busy with work and taking my oldest siblings to school and sports. Now I am studying Middle Level Education to become a Special Education Teacher in my near future. I love giving my time up to those wth disabilities and can not wait to continue what I love doing the most.
Reflection My understanding of how to incorporate technology into the classroom has grown a huge amount this past semester. I am able to navigate around different sites thoroughly without any difficulties. This class had made it easier to use all types of applications and go further into the application rather than just using the simple settings and formats. The different assignments in my portfolio have helped me learn because I am able to gain new ideas from each assignment and keep adding to make them more professional. The lessons have given me the challenge to think as a teacher would want to present these simple ideas to their students. All of the different assignments intertwine with each other in various ways. Each lesson/assignment can be created into one lesson if done in the correct way. This portfolio will help me in the long run because I will have access to these assignments when I become a teacher and can modify them to make them available to the students that I am going to teach.
