 * Welcome to my EDT 3010 Portfolio! **

Hi! My name is Amanda Jensen. Welcome to my wiki! I'm glad you stopped by. This wiki contains projects that I completed for my Instructional Delivery for Interactive Learning Enviornments class. I have found that these assignments will prove to be helpful when I am a teacher. I am sure that I will put the knowledge I have gained to good use.

I am in my first semester of the post baccalaureate elementary teacher liscensure program at Metropolitan State College of Denver. I received my bachelor's degree of Communications from Colorado State University in December 2008. I spent a year and a half working several jobs simultaneously, one of them being at a community center in inner city Denver called Confluence. Ever since I was young I knew that I enjoyed helping childnen learn. In the last several years I visited Mozambique and Haiti; and in both places I spent time helping to educate children. Finally, last Spring I realized that I am meant to be an elementary teacher. Few things bring me as much joy and satisfaction as helping children learn.

Recently I heard someone say "When you see a good teacher you are seeing a work of art." That statement has stuck with me because I want to be that. I am fully committed to education and will be devoted to investing in each child that I am responsible for teaching. Teaching is not just a job. It is a work of art. I believe that every child is exceptional, and that every student deserves an excellent education. It is my full intention to help each child I teach know that they are exceptional, and to help them have an excellent education.
