Hi,

I am Miriam Clements. I love teaching and have always loved children. I just finished my first year of teaching. I was an associate kindergarten teacher this past school year at Solomon Schechter Day School in Bergen County. I graduated from undergrad last year and started my Master's in Teaching Literacy Birth-6th grade in Fall 2011. I am currently looking for a teaching job for next year. If anyone knows of any please let me know. I am looking forward to taking this course and see what the outcome is.

Technology plays a big role in my life. I use Facebook everyday. I have an ipod and an iphone, and a laptop. I am always connected to something and I feel naked if I don't have my phone.
 * My life as a technology user:**

A few years ago I didn't have a Facebook page. I didn't think it was necessary. I used AIM, and I had email. I thought that was enough to be in touch with the world. I was a counselor at camp that summer and my friends tried to convince me to set up a Facebook page. At this point, you were only able to join Facebook if you were a college or high school student. My friends told me to get a Facebook so we could share our pictures at the end of the summer. Get a Facebook so that we could keep in touch with each other easier and post messages to each other. At the end of the summer I decided that it was worth getting a Facebook account. I posted my camp pictures from that summer and kept in touch with my camp friends. Now I go on Facebook multiple times a day. I use my Facebook account to chat with friends, keep in touch with friends, create and reply to events, and see what is going on in my friends lives.
