All About Morgan Kelly

Aloha, my name is Morgan Marie Kelly. I prefer to be called Miss Morgan though. I'm 19 years old and graduated from West Allegheny High school which is 15 minutes outside of Pittsburgh. I am a freshman at Edinboro University studying Early Childhood Education. I am on my second semester at Edinboro and love everything about it so far (besides the weather!)

I don't know all that much about technology in all honesty. I see it as a very useful tool for many different things but I tend to be indifferent about it when it comes to learning/teaching. It's clearly important to stay brushed up on technology and how to use it because as this generation progresses and grows technology tends to stay a couple steps ahead. As for teaching through technology I think it can create a road block for learning. Just an observation on my mind and its process with learning and understanding technology seems to distance itself off the more time I spend trying to use it as a beneficiary.

Saying that I believe that it does depend on the mind at task and what materials are trying to be taught.

  2. I agree with you and Alyssa! My technology skills are horrible but I'm willing to learn! I've never experienced weather like this before, and I'm from Toledo, Ohio. Who knew the difference 3 hours can make!

  3. I really liked your post it told alot about you. I also consider myself as not knowing much about technology but I feel that it is important to keep brushed up on. Learning everything is overwhelming but I feel that it will be worth it.

  4. "As for teaching through technology I think it can create a road block for learning." I agree with this! I feel like technology has become a roadblock to communication! Doesn't it seem like a lot of people depend on the internet so much that they do not even have the skills needed to communicate face to face? This is my fear...we talk about this a lot in one of my classes. Also, I think that we depend on technology in order to do things that people use to use their minds to do...think MATH!
