Introduction
My name is Ariel Flinn, and I am in the Master's Degree program in Instructional Technology at Kennesaw State University. I began the program Summer 2013 and will graduate Summer 2015. I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2008 with a Bachelor's degree in Music Education. Immediately after graduation, I began teaching elementary music in Fulton County, Georgia. I spent my first year in Fulton as an itinerant teacher: I taught at Hembree Springs Elementary and River Eves Elementary, which are both located in Roswell, GA. Since 2009, I have been teaching Music at Findley Oaks Elementary in Johns Creek, GA.
KSU's reputation in instructional technology led me to the Master's Degree program in the Department of Instructional Technology. My ultimate goal is to continue teaching while also serving as a technology coach in my own school as well as the Music Department in Fulton County.
The purpose of this portfolio is for me to demonstrate mastery of the PSC Instructional Technology standards and the ISTE NETS-C standards. As you can see, there are a series of links below the KSU logo that you can visit. Of particular importance is the "standards" link. Under this link, you will see a series of artifacts and reflections documenting the important work I have completed during this program. Each artifact represents mastery of the standard under which it is represented.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Kennesaw State University, and feel that I am well prepared to integrate technology into my classroom and to assist other educators in using technology and providing professional learning opportunities for them.
