Introduction

My name is Alicia Taite. I teach mathematics at the Romeo Engineering and Technology Center in Romeo, MI. I have been teaching for 13 years, and I am currently working towards my final credits for my Master's Degree in Mathematics Education at Wayne State University.  My husband and I have been married for 10 1/2 years and we have 3 wonderful children, Tyler (9 1/2), Gabriella (8), and Nora (5). We also have a dog named Cooper, who is a Labrador mix. My husband is a Dearborn Police officer. We have very busy schedules, but love spending time together whenever we can. We enjoy the outdoors, watching movies, participating in sports, watching sports, and just hanging out together.

My school district recently purchased Google Chromebooks for the high school and middle school students. I decided to take this online class to help me learn some new ways to integrate technology into my own classroom. I have previously taken another online class through WSU, and I found much of the information very useful, so I am excited (but also nervous) about this class. I have used Gmail, and Google Drive before, but I have never blogged, used Twitter, or Facebook.
