About Me!

Hi, my name is Hanna Nolan,I am a junior at the Universtiy of South Alabama, where i am an elementary education major. When i graduate i plan to teach at a private school and teach ethier kindergarten or first grade. My teaching philosophy consists of many values that I wish to grown on through the years, and I hope to add more, the more I teach. Listed below are the values I have chosen to guide me through my years of teaching, followed with my own definition and how I plan to use them in my classroom this year.

Leadership: This is shown in someone who leads the pack, he or she doesn’t wait for someone to do it first, and they just do it when they feel necessary. I will use this to lead my students down the right path and teach them to be themselves, not to follow what others do, but to do what they believe is right. I will also use leadership to do what is right for my Students as long as it is beneficial to them, no matter what others are doing.

Creativity: This is having the ability to make something ordinary into something grand. I will use this to make school a fun and enjoyable place. I will come up with different ways to teach, so the children never get board, but at the same time understand the information given to them. Hopefully this will encourage students to want to know more and get them interested.

Respect for Others: This is treating others the way you want to be treated. I will instill this into my students so they will not judge or mistreat anyone, peers or adults. I will also use this to help me step back in a stressful situation and have patients for my students and remember to treat them with the respect they give me.

Compassion: This is the knowledge and understanding of someone suffering, whether it is academically or personally. I will be able to understand and want to help a student(s) who needs extra help in school or it they just need someone to talk to. I will be understanding towards my students.

Commitment: This mean that you give it you’re all and that you true heartedly believe in something. I will believe in all my students that they can succeed and do great things. I will dedicate myself to them and give them my full attention and time.

On this blog i will dicuss some of the teacing tools that i find to be great ways to teach students outside the normal lecture teaching.

Google!


I love google! I have just recently been introduced to the wonderful world of google, which contains more than people know. I have learned that they have Word Processing, Spreadsheets, and even presentations, which is like PowerPoint. They are all easy to use and come with great advantages. The BIGGEST advantage is that it is mobile, you can access them from any computer with Internet, eliminating jump drives. The best thing of all , like my my EDM 310 teacher would say is that it is all FREE. It also has a great search engine with images, maps, news, and shopping. You can also set up an account for email, and they have an icon called iGoogle which is a place where you can add gadgets that are to your interest, and it will track things like weather, news and what ever else you want, its like a "one-stop-shop" for all the information you want to know.
