I have felt the call to work with orphans in Africa for about eleven years, and upon my marriage in 2009 my wife (who also has felt the desire to work with orphans in Africa) and I decided that the best approach to take would be for me to get my bachelors degree in secondary education with a biology endorsement. This is a result of my love of nature, and the fact that I had been a farmer from 1998-2009, I figured biology, and science more generally, would be a good fit for me as a teacher. Consequently, upon my graduation we intend on travelling to Zambia, where I will get a teaching job, as a platform for working with orphans.
In regards to what I know about technology and my comfort level with technology; I took several courses at Skagit Valley College when I attended from 1999-2001. I took: introduction to Excel, introduction to the Internet, one quarter of A+ certification, and introduction to PowerPoint. Through these courses I learned not to fear technology, and I have taken that approach throughout my experience with it.
Regarding my feelings about technology in education, I feel that it is a necessity, especially in regards to experiments, and researching periodicals.
