=EDET 780: Research Seminar in Educational Technology=

[[image:MoorePic.png]] Welcome!
Hello there! My name is Susan Moore, and I currently live in Columbia, South Carolina. I moved here a year and a half ago from the small town of Chatham, Virginia. After high school, I attended Radford University, a public college in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. There I earned two undergraduate degrees, one in Elementary Education (which, in SC is equivalent to Early Childhood and Elementary Education) and Spanish. While in school I also studied in Puerto Rico for a semester. I love living and working in SC, and am currently in my second year of teaching 4th grade at a Lexington 1 Elementary School. This is my third semester in the Masters of Educational Technology program at USC. So far in the program I have taken EDET 603 Design and Development Tools I, 722 Introduction to Instructional Design, 703 Design and Development Tools II, and 709 Application of Learning Principles.

So far I have thoroughly enjoyed the EdTech program as I have learned a multitude of technology resources and programs to share and use with my fourth graders. My students have seemed to enjoy experiencing their “teacher the student,” and have been very inviting to new applications and ideas I have shared based on my courses. While I strive to use effective and engaging technology in the classroom, it is also my desire to instill in my students the knowledge and appreciation of technology in order to be fully functional in our current technologically advanced society.

When not teaching (and now studying), I enjoy traveling, water sports, reading, and spending time with friends and family. As the weather allows, I enjoy both wakeboarding and snowboarding, and find myself visiting West Virginia in the winter to frequent trips to Charleston in the spring and summer. Later in the summer I will be traveling to Belize for a month of mission work.
