Week 1 - Introduction

Hello, my name is Chasity Ledkins and I live in a very small town called Excel, Alabama.  I have been married for ten years and have three children, Carter (8), Cade (6) and Addie (2).  They keep me very busy!  I have an Accounting degree, but after working as an Accountant for years I knew it was not my dream and so I went into teaching.  This is my third year of teaching Algebra at  Monroe County High School and I love it!  I was an ABC student and took my four classes and passed the praxis in Math so now I am highly qualified.  This is my first term in Graduate school and I am so excited to be going back.  I chose Library Media for my master's so that if I ever decide to come out of the classroom, I have somewhere to go.  Teaching and helping children is my life long dream and it is the most rewarding job ever.  I teach at a low income school, so for some, I am not only a teacher, but a mother in simple terms. 
As far as technology, I have a good bit in my classroom and hope to be receiving more in the next few months.  I have a symposium which has to be my favorite.  As I am facing the classroom, I write on it and it projects through an LCD projector onto a screen behind me.  This enables me to watch the class and make sure they are following along while I am teaching. 
I am so looking forward to this session and learning a lot of new things for my classroom.
