Becky+Aubrey

=Becky Aubrey= Hi my name is Becky Aubrey.

Please contact me through baubrey@ku.edu.

I am from Johnson County, Kansas. I am the oldest of five. I have two brothers and two sisters. I went to Shawnee Mission South High School. I am in the elementary education program at KU. I want to teach special education. I want to teach special education because (and I know this sounds cheesy) they have always had a special place in my heart.

I would say that I am not very technological inclined. I think technology is important in the classroom because it is such a big part of the world today. The early students learn how to use technology the better.

So my only horror story that I can think of is that all my pictures where deleted from my camera. I would like to learn more about Skype becaue I have a lot of family members from different states and countries.

Becky's Websites
Bad Website: http://www.trivia-library.com/b/famous-family-history-christopher-columbus-children.htm Good Website: http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/subjects/columbus.htm
 * I found that this website was not kid friendly at all. I found this website through google. This is because it had a link on the web site that if you click it, it takes you to a dateing service. I dont think that this website would be appropriate for any elementary student to use. This website should be labeled that it will take you to a dating service so that parents and teachers are aware and so they don’t use it. The website is also very hard to navigate through. I don’t think that any kindergartner through fourth grade would be able to understand it. I think maybe a fifth and sixth grader good use it depending on their reading ability. The information on the website is correct and I do think the students good rely on it, but I don’t believe that any teacher should use it. I would not recommend using this website.
 * I think that this website would be great for fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. I found this website through google. This website is a website that has a lot of other links that have information on Christopher Columbus. This website has a perfect amount of color to it. It has white on blue, blue and black on white. This makes the font easy to read. The descriptions are in small paragraph so that a child will not get overwhelmed by all the information. The website has one small picture at the top of the page. I believe that this information on this website is short and to the point. It brief and easy to read. I don’t think that this picture takes away from the website, but makes it more welcoming.
