My name is Darlene Staimpel and I live in Gulf Shores, AL. I am native to Baldwin County. I have two wonderful children, John (5) and Mary Kate (3). I currently work full time with Fortis College in Foley, AL as the Registrar.
I am currently working on my degree in Elementary Education / Special Education K-6 at the University of South Alabama. My son is my inspiration for changing my business degree to education. My son had his heart re-built when he was 10 days old. Due to the lack of oxygen to his brain when he was first born, he now suffers some learning disabilities. I know school will be a struggle for him and I want to learn as many different strategies and tools that I can use that will benefit him.
This new journey to be tech literate is very exciting to me! I will have to say it is very different and I am definitely out of my comfort zone! This class has just began and I have learned so much in such a short amount of time. I know my blog will significantly improve in the next few weeks or at least I hope it does!! I have always shared a passion in education! I love to use technology and creativity to make learning more exciting and effective!
Practice makes perfect. Another student also lives in Gulf Shores. I thought you were the only one.
