Hi! I'm Erica Barron! I am a fifth-grade teacher in Papillion, Nebraska. This is my first year teaching full-time since staying home with my kids for the past 10 years. I was a substitute teacher in Papillion for the past four years and took six long-term sub jobs during that time. This time last year, I decided to come back full-time and accepted a job at my kids' school. I love being at the same school as my kids and seeing them each day!
When I decided to teach again, I realized that I needed to go back to school and take 15 credit hours to renew my teaching license. Peru State College worked with me to complete the 15 hours and helped me enroll in the master's program. Although I was nervous about taking graduate courses during my first year back, it has been wonderful! I have learned so much from my courses and know they are making me a better teacher. I only have one course left to take over the summer before I graduate.
I would not call myself an expert when it comes to technology. A lot has changed in the ten years since my last teaching position! I do think that it is extremely important to utilize technology in the classroom. This is the reason I decided to take this course. I am looking forward to all of the knowledge I will gain through the completion of my projects. I am hoping to move from a 2 to a 5 on the technology integration scale!
I am looking forward to having more free time this summer! We just bought an RV, so I'm looking forward to camping, hiking, biking, and paddle boarding with my family.
