Welcome

Welcome to MissgeeveousTech - a blog created for ESC407 Classroom Technologies. I'm Michelle, living in Sydney, and I'm currently studying to be a secondary Mathematics teacher through CSU. I've got fairly extensive experience in technology having studied Computer Engineering and worked in Telecommunications. I grew up in the age before the internet and first studied at uni in the nineties where it was beginning to be used by everyday people (though dial up was quite limiting!). I went on to help design and test software for telephone systems, ADSL, VoIP and various other every day technologies in my working life. At home I dabble in everything from social media to setting up computers to access our music and movies.

In terms of education and technology, I have a relatively long history - I was submitting my computer science assignments via the university network in the early nineties. As a teacher though, I only have theoretical experience, not having taught yet. My children's school uses technology across the board - class sets of iPads, robotics equipment, IWB, 3D printers and so on. I have investigated a variety of technologies in my studies so far and look forward to encountering more.
