All about me

Me and my friend Yoko. Taken at the Carroll Center for the Blind




My name is Tiffany Krause. I am from Rochester, New York near Lake Ontario. I am just south of the border for Canada. I am 21 years old and live with my; mom, dad, brrother, and 2 dogs. I was born with a visual impaired that has, thankfully, not gotten worse since birth. My right eye has gotten sslightly worse over the years but not drastically. I could go on and on about me, but this blog would turn into a mini essay :).

Currently I am majoring in Secondary Education of mathematics. What I really see myself doing, after school, is working with young kids. Next year I am either going to change to the duel major of Early Childhood and Special Education, or I am going to major in pre-k and minor in Special Ed. When first looking at colleges, Nazareth college in NY didn't haven't the major that I really wanted to do. The closest to it was education. I had to choose a subject that I was best at, which was math, so that's how it turned into what I'm doing right now

I feel that technology definitely has its advantages, both for teaching and for recreational purposes. Technology has made everything so much easier to do. A long time ago when you used to have to look thing up in books or get info by word of mouth, now you can just go on google, or ask, and just type in what you want and there you go. When I am bored, I tend to surf facebook and twitter. That' makes time go by so fast. technology, especially cell phones, takes away time from real interactions, but for the most part it's good. When talking about teaching, so many teachers these days have smart boards and the ability to use apple devices. This is a lot easier than always having to look things up and then tell the sutdents. If you can connect your desktop to a board at the front of the room, all you have to do is go to a site and everyone can see what you are. It also saves time.
