 Welcome to my Wiki Page!

 Christine Jackson   Growing up as the youngest daughter of three in an average suburban town outside of Rochester, New York, I was always a very impulsive child. Despite my wavering nature, I knew at the early age of 6 that I wanted to become a teacher when I grew up. An internship program allowing me the opportunity to teach self-esteem to second graders during my senior year at Spencerport High School only solidified my decision to dedicate my life to teaching.

After graduating from SHS in 2003, I went on to attend [|SUNY Geneseo] for the next four years, majoring in Childhood Education with a concentration in Math. It wasn’t until my sophomore year that I changed my major to become dual-certified so that in May of 2007 I graduated from Geneseo with a degree in Childhood and Special Education (1-6). Since then, I have been substitute teaching at Greece Central School District and serving as a general education representative for CSE (committee on special education) meetings in the Rush Henrietta School District, while continuing my search for a full time teaching position in the Rochester area.

With the technological advances of today’s world, education cannot be presented the same way that it was thirty or forty years ago. In order to fully prepare students for the future, we as teachers must incorporate technology into our teaching methods. One of my student teaching experiences that I completed while attending undergraduate school was in an Academic Intervention Services (AIS) Math Lab, where I was able to share my knowledge and love for technology with other teachers. It wasn’t until I began attending my graduate school program in Educational Technology at [|Nazareth College] though, that I realized my full potential as an educator in today’s technological world.

This wiki showcases most of the work that I have done in my Multimedia for K-12 Educators class. This course introduced students to the instructional uses of multimedia. We discussed the software and hardware necessary for multimedia productions. A complete range of media, including digital photography, digital video, and digital audio were covered.
