Introduction

Welcome to my first introductory blog.  I am currently teaching 8th grade reading at Lewis and Clark Middle School in Bellevue, Nebraska.  This is my ninth year of teaching.  I also co-sponsor the school yearbook, and coach various sports and clubs.  I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2003 with a BS in English Education.  Finally, I received my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction in 2010.  My husband's name is Paul, and we have been married for seven years.  We have two children; Susanna and William.

Over the course of my graduate study, I became more confident with my use of technology.  I would not considered myself to be "tech savvy" in any stretch of the word, but I am always willing to try something to see if it is applicable or not.  Without a doubt, I gravitate towards a PC.  Currently, I use these technologies in my classroom:  Online Design, Edmodo, Gmail, rover cart, youtube.com, Microsoft PowerPoint, and occasionally, Windows Movie Maker.

    I hope life is still treating you well! I would love to hear from you--my email is mrsseggerman@gmail.com or you can find me on facebook: Christine Seggerman!
