Introduction

=Introduction of EDUC-6715 Walden Tech Teachers! = My name is Mary Hayn and I teach third grade in Ohio. I teach in a suburb about 20 minutes south of Cleveland. This will be my sixth year of teaching. I have taught first grade for one year, O.A.A. tutor for one year, Title I for one year, and I am currently teaching my third year of third grade. I enjoy using technology in the classroom and have found all Walden's courses very interesting thus far! I am available most nights after 4:30 p.m. and dedicate my Wednesday afternoons and weekends to coursework. Feel free to email me at mary.hayn@gmail.com or mary.hayn@waldenu.edu anytime for questions or concerns.

I am Samantha Cojuangco. I am a 9th grade Living Environment teacher in the Bronx, NY. I just started my 7th year teaching. I have taught Living Environment, Physics, Chemistry, Health, and Music at my school over the years. I integrate technology into my classroom as often as I can, however access to technology is limited where I teach. I look forward to learning from any and everyone and hope I can share my best practices with others! I am devoting Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights to completing Walden work but am available just about every evening if I need to work on something with someone. I can be reached at all times via Facebook messaging and via E-mail at samantha.cojuangco@waldenu.edu! E-mail me for my Facebook username! = =

My name is Nicole Blanco. I am a third grade teacher in Tallahassee, Florida. This is my sixth year as an elementary school teacher, but only my fourth year teaching third grade. I have previously taught Kindergarten AND sixth grade. Third grade seems to be a happy medium :o). The school year started three weeks ago, so I have been a busy little bee trying to settle in with my new students. They seem like a GREAT class thus far, and I am looking forward to applying many of the skills, strategies, and concepts I have learned throughout my program with Walden. I typically devote grad school work to the evening times during the week. However, whatever I do not finish during the week will be taken care of over the weekend. Should you need to contact me, please e-mail me at nicole.blanco@waldenu.edu.

= = My name is Stephanie Cunningham. I am a first grade teacher in Baltimore, Maryland. This is my fifth year teaching, and my first year teaching first grade. It is a welcoming change that is a challenge every day. Coming from teaching fourth grade for three years and third grade one year it is definitely a different experience. I am looking forward to using lots of technology with my young students. When I am not teaching or working on grad school work I am a spending time with my two children, Taylor who is three and Alyssa who just turned one. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail at stephanie.cunningham@waldenu.edu
