Introduction
My name is Jena Parish, and I am a graduate from the Master's Degree program in Instructional Technology at Kennesaw State University. I began the program Fall 2010 and graduated Summer 2012. I graduated from Kennesaw State University in 2007 with a BacheIor's degree in education. Immediately after graduation, I began teaching elementary school. I currently teach 4th grade students at Hendricks Elementary School in Cobb County. Through my experience as a 4th grade teacher, I developed an interest in implementing technology in my classroom with my students.
My undergraduate experience and KSU's reputation in instructional technology led me to the Master's Degree program in the Department of Instructional Technology. I would like to apply the knowledge I've gained through my Master's Degree by working with students from multiple grade levels in a technology lab setting, but my ultimate goal is to obtain a job as a technology facilitator in my school district. I eventually plan to continue with my education by pursuing an additional teaching endorsement in online learning.
The purpose of this portfolio is for me to demonstrate mastery of the PSC Instructional Technology standards. As you can see, there are a series of links below the KSU logo that you can visit. Of particular importance is the "Standards" link. Under this link, you will see a series of artifacts and reflections documenting the important work I have completed during this program. Each artifact represents mastery of the standard under which it is represented.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Kennesaw State University, and feel that I am well-prepared to integrate technology into my classroom and to assist other educators in using technology and providing professional learning opportunities for them.
