Introduction =)

from my recent vacation to Las Vegas
 
My name is Caitlin Anderson, and welcome to my blog! One interesting fact about myself is that when I was little I was afraid of frosting. My mom tells me that I was the only 1 year old to cry about her birthday cake.  I am a junior and am a dual major in Early Childhood Education, Pre K-4th grade and Special Education. I love both of my majors because they are so rewarding. You get an amazing feeling after you have helped a child learn a new concept. It is also rewarding to see how your students change and grow.  
Some of my interests are reading, taking pictures, traveling, spending time with my family, shopping, and being with my friends. I also have three dogs, who I would also say are part of my interests. They are all spoiled and I love them to death. One of my electronic devices is a Kindle Fire. I mostly read on it, but I do have a few apps as well. I can access the internet, Facebook, and the Amazon store on it as well. Other devices that I have include an HP laptop and a Smart Phone. I probably don't know how to do half of the things on my Smart Phone. Again, I can access the internet, Facebook, my email, the weather, and things like that. I use WordPad on my laptop. My mom just got a laptop with Windows 8, which I've been playing around with. I feel comfortable with basic technology, but with a little practice I feel like I could do more.
I have taken two online Special Education courses and I feel pretty comfortable with them. I like how you can work on your at your own pace and it's on the computer.I probably still would have taken the course if it were offered online. You can find a lot of information on the internet using Google, Youtube, and various other sources. If you needed help and didn't understand something, you could always visit the professor during office hours.
