**Welcome To My Technology Portfolio** My name is Lisa Large. I am originally from Kentucky but have lived in Madison, Alabama for approximately 26 years. Presently, I teach 1st grade in Madison City Schools. In the past, I have taught 5th grade – language arts, reading and social studies. I have been with the school system for eleven years. On a personal note, I love the beach and hanging out at the pool with a good book. Also, I enjoy quality family time. My recent “empty nest” at home has been an adjustment for me. This was a contributing factor for me returning to further my education. Approximately one year ago, I set out to obtain my graduate degree from University of West Alabama. As I have completed various coursework at UWA, I have learned many different aspects about technology. I feel more confident and eager to try new ideas related to technology. This technology portfolio serves as an example of some technology integration into my classroom. Teaching does require a lot of work and effort. I love teaching and making a difference in lives. My desire is to become a more effective and better teacher.
