A little bit about me.

Hi, my name is Sarah Eiserman and I am a Special Education Teacher at Badger High School in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. This is my third year here and I love it. We are a fully inclusive school so I co-teach in the math department. This is the first year that I only teach math, the past few years I also taught Freshman English. I teach Algebra A and Algebra B (Algebra B is new to me this year in place of the English). The school decided to split Algebra 1 into two years to help meet the needs of more learners. I also teacher a Consumer Math class which is the only special education class offered in the school. I enjoy this class as I am free to be as creative as I want and the pace of the class is great for my students.
I am most excited about learning everything in this class. I relate well to my students as I can't remember a time without the Internet or having a cell phone and I sometimes feel funny around my not so tech-savvy co-workers. However, I do worry about this class because I do not want 60 students joining in on my blogs or Twittering me. In the future I would like to use what I learn with my students but not while I'm learning it. I want to learn how to better incorporate technology and blogging into my classes. One of our school goals is reading in the content areas and I would like to include more reading into math and then have the students post about the readings.
