Introducing Me and My techonogly skills


I'm Stephanie Winkel and this is my son, Killian. My son always comes first in my life, and school comes second. I enjoy cooking from whole, local foods. I also enjoy being outside in the summer, and I dream of having a large backyard for gardening and raising chickens. I have a PK-6 grade Major with a math minor. I have one and a half year left before graduating from UW-Oshkosh. I hope to teach preschool-2nd grade, but I’m also interested in teaching sixth grade math.

Right now, I believe that my technological skills are adequate for my profession. I’ve created podcasts, movies, picture books, blogs, utilized wikispaces, used all word applications, and much more. I feel confident in my ability to use and navigate any technology. The only technology sources I haven’t played around with are things like smart boards and projectors. I wish that my classes would have us utilize these technologies in my classes to that I could feel more comfortable with it.

I personally have a Mac, and have played around with all the applications in the Mac. However, I also use a PC for work. I am an accountant for a law firm, so I use QuickBooks, scan and edit legal documents, and much more for my work. I feel comfortable using these technologies, as well as a copy machine and fax machine. I have used the internet to find out how to use a few programs that I didn’t understand, so I also feel comfortable with my ability to self teach any skills I don’t have already.nologies so that I could feel more comfortable with it.

In my Reading 440 class, my teacher was very interested in technology, so we used and played with a lot of technology such as wiki spaces and epals. I learned how valuable using technology in a classroom is, and it inspired me to utilize technology more.
