WEEK 1 ED505 Introduction
My name is Jessica Crook. I currently teach 9th grade World History at Alexandria High School. I coach volleyball and basketball at Alexandria, and I also coach club volleyball for the Southern Select Volleyball Club in Birmingham. I graduated from the University of West Alabama in 2010 with a degree in History Education. I played on the UWA Volleyball team while there and was an ambassador, among other things. There is truly something about this place! I will be getting married March 30 of this year to Brandenn. He works in Bessemer, so we will be living in Moody, AL (halfway between our jobs). I am eager to get new ideas with technology in the classroom because that seems to be a big push in my school system!

Jessica, I really like your blog background. How fun to be coaching a sport that you love! I look forward to helping out with cheer and dance at McAdory in the future! It's definitely revealing to be on the other side of things! You are very brave to deal with 9th grade all day/every day!! :)
ReplyDeleteTechnology is definitely pushed in my school system as well. We recently started a program called BYOD, or bring your own device, where students can bring Nooks, tablets, etc. for learning purposes. I teach 1st grade, so putting all of the new technology out there for my students to use and understand is sometimes a challenge.
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica! Wow, you sound like you are so busy! I wish you the best on your upcoming wedding. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI coached a middle school basketball team this year and I have a whole new respect for coaches and everything that you have to do! I know you must be so busy! Good luck with everything!
