THE FUTURE TECHNOLOGY!

This video is designed to add a little humor to the idea of technology and where it is going. The man presenting the technology looks like I felt last night. If no one else has told you Dr. G thanks for giving us an opportunity to exhale, let me be the first. Thanks.

Wendee; Who is she?

I am a MAT candidate here at Salem. Recently certified to teach k-6. My current position is a teacher assistant for kindergarten.

My former degree is Fine Art. I absolutlely love painting, so much so I call it my drug of choice. My speciality is painting portrait. Last spring I was commissioned to paint a portrait of the former mayor of Greensboro. I exhibit, all over the city every opportunity I get.

I love children equally as much as I love painting. My personal feeling is if you can help one child feel valued and as if they have something to contribute, you've given them something.

I am a divorced mother of two girls, one a rising sophomore at Parkland, the other a rising third grader at the Downtown school. Both my daughters are artisit too.
