A bit about me....
I am a Junior at the University of South Alabama majoring in Elementary Education. I discovered later in life that I would like to "empower the knowledge of students". I have always been interested in education and how children learn. My son, niece and nephew can tell you that I am passionate about not only getting school work done, but getting them to actually understand and comprehend the materials. My goal is to obtain a position as an elementary teacher and make learning FUN!!

As an elementary teacher I plan to use many methods in order to motivate students. In my classroom I plan to use the following educational tools: blogs, AVL, head fakes, podcasts and success. These tools should enable me to provide students with the tools they need to reach educational acheivement.

Happy Learning!!

Alabama Virtual Library

Alabama Virtual Library Banner
The Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) is a very helpful tool. It can be both beneficial to both students and parents, in research. AVL is a database of magazines, journals and newspaper articles. This information is only accessible at your local high school or college or by obtaining an AVL card and personal access code for home access. The card and code can be obtained at your local Alabama library with proof of residency and eligibility for a public library card. The code is issued in order for the researcher to access the information from remote locations. However the access is limited to only one session at a time. That is once you have accessed AVL no one else is allowed access under your code. You can search the information by age, topic, particular magazine or journal or specific database. These databases are packed full of useful information and resources about any subject.
