About Deliverin' Data

My Name is Brenda G. I am a 22 year old English Education major.

If there is anything I have learned in the last few months of my schooling, it is that...

America runs on technology more than coffee, nicotine, and bad habits.

Everything in today's society is online. 

As a future teacher, my goal is to keep up with the latest technology that rules the lives of the youth. These youths will soon be sitting in my classroom, and I want to have ways to be able to relate to them, and the world they live in.

This blog will cover topics that rule social media. Such things will include:
  • Video Games
  • My Space
  • Face Book
  • Twitter
  • Wikis
  • Blogs
  • Vlogs
  • Texting
  • Search Engines
  • Feeds
  • Google Reader
  • And More, because the web is endless.
My mission is to not only learn about these things that are in existence on the web, but to also educate current, and future educators about what their students are doing outside of class.

Perhaps this blog will allow teachers to learn to incorporate social medias into their classrooms and curriculum. Social media has the power to better meet the needs of students, and keep them interested.

Being totally illiterate in technology myself, and running on dial up until about 6 months ago, this is not only a challenge but a learning experience for me. Hopefully, I can help other educators who are as clueless as me.
