Hi Mrs. Durff! My name is Donna Williams (luvinneosoul on twitter/DonnaKinder on ustream). I am 26 years old. I am a Memphis native and current resident. I have a black cat named Dixie. She is 6 years old and extremely overweight. She is a sweetie, but she super spoiled.

Professional Life
I am a kindergarten teacher. I am employed with Shelby County Schools. This will be my third year. I love what I do and I am so excited to start the new school year. I also love just watching them learn and interact with one another. I get so much joy when they are excited about learning.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood from the University of Memphis. I recently graduated in the spring of 2006. I adore working with the "babies." I decided this summer to go back to school and major in Instructional Design and Technology (IDT). We had a workshop with LeapFrog that inspired me that technology and education is not only my forte but my calling. So many people at my school were always telling me how great I am with technology and they always ask me for help. It took that workshop to realize that I could do so much more with technology to help teaching an learning. I am excited about this class.

My name is Kristy Conger, and I'm currently an Academic Technology Consultant with the University of Memphis. I'm a former high school Marketing teacher and DECA advisor. I graduated with a BS in Business Administration (majored in Marketing). I wound up in the field of education 11 years ago after the large corporation I worked in sales for canned their entire sales force to in order to go with a broker. Therefore, leaving me as just another corporate cost saving statistic : )

Our class really appreciates your participation and your willingness to share your knowledge!

Hey mrsdurff. I am Kathy, a registered nurse of 22 years, who developed an interest in staff development and possibly general nursing education a couple of years ago. Another colleague had received his MS in IDT and the more I researched it the more convinced I became that it is for me. And I was right, I am loving it! Yea for lifelong learning.Thanks so much for the links on copyright. I am reading and reading and reading ... Do you find this valuable?
