Let me introduce myself...

     My name is Melissa Mueller, I am 25 years old and I currently live in Lethbridge Alberta. I was born and raised in Swift Current Saskatchewan, where I graduated from Swift Current Comprehensive High School in 2003. Some of my hobbies include reading, watching movies, playing squash at the YMCA, and making jewellery. I have two sisters, Marissa my twin, and Krisite two years younger than myself. My parents, Joy and Lindsay, have been married for 27 years and still live in my hometown. I moved to Lethbridge in 2005 to attend the University of Lethbridge in the combined degree Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Education program. I met my boyfriend Lyle in 2007 and we have been dating for over three years now. Recently I have been accepted into the Faculty of Education where I plan to complete a two year after degree program. My future plans are to become a teacher, purchase my first home, and start a family with my wonderful boyfriend.

   

     My first experience with technology began in Grade 5, it involved one computer, 30 students, and a very slow internet connection. Since then I've personally owned one desktop computer and two laptops. I probably spend roughly two hours on the computer everyday; checking email, updating my status on facebook, watching videos on youtube, online shopping, and researching for school or for personal interests. I personally believe that technology is a valuable tool for learning in and outside the classroom. In particular for checking up on current events online, this is something I did in the classroom in high school and  it taught me another use for the internet other than checking up on friends and playing games. I also started to learn how to properly research subjects online. Such as how to know whether a website will be a viable resource in essays and for projects.
