Etec 424 Post One: Introduction

Hello, I'm David Bush. I'm a Senior-level undergraduate in the English department here at Texas A&M Commerce. I love science fiction, computers, technology, medical research, paintballing, hunting, fishing, and cooking delicious food. I have a huge passion for sharing information, whether it be a movie I love or a poem I've written. One day, I hope to solely be a writer, concentrating on producing science fiction and fantasy novels.

I hope to implement technology only where it is necessary in the classroom. The main responsibility of every teacher is to teach their students the materials pertinent to their subject matter. For most teachers, that isn't directly technology. Now, if there is technology that can assist that, then a teacher should weigh how much it would help versus how much it would distract the students. If it'll help more than it'll hurt, I'll turn my technological know-how to address the problem and get it online and working for the students.

I hope to come across some useful tidbits of technology that I haven't seen before. I'm pretty well-versed in technology, but there is always an ocean of unknown developments to discover that just keeps getting bigger. Of course, I hope to then take that information and apply it to my classroom in the future.
