About me!

Hi! My name is Jes Mann. I am in the Deaf Education program, with a focus in middle grade science. I want to be a teacher because I love working with kids, and I love science, so combining the two brought me here! I decided on Deaf Ed specifically because I grew up signing, and I am very passionate about both American Sign Language and children who are D/deaf and hard of hearing. I love to help educate people about the Deaf community, too!

While in this class, I hope to get a more in-depth understanding of how to use technology in my classroom. I feel like I have a general knowledge of technology as a personal user, but I would like to gain more information about using technology professionally. Also, I hope to become more comfortable using newer technology, such as interactive whiteboards and wikis. I feel confident that by the end of this class, I will be more comfortable using technology for my classroom.
