For those of you who are new to Dr. Lowell’s class, my name is Pam Callahan and I am a fourth year math teacher at Powell County High School in Stanton, Kentucky (about 45 minutes southeast of Lexington).   This year, I am teaching all Geometry courses (six of them), and am having a blast because it my favorite class to teach.

My family consists of my husband of almost 16 years, Bob, who is very savvy with technology and gives me good resources, two cats of my own and two adoptees from the neighborhood, and a rabbit.  In my spare time, I love to hike and am picking up rock climbing again after a long break.  I also love to cross-stitch and enjoy surfing the net for new information on just about anything.  My favorite TV shows are Medium and CSI.

I am taking this class because I am working on a second master’s (equivalent to a Rank I) in Educational Computing Technology.  I will finish my degree in Summer I.  I learned an incredible amount about educational technology in EDUC 685 with Dr. Lowell (I left my posts up for anyone who is interested), and am excited about this class.  I expect that this class will have many similarities to last semester, frantically learning new things, posting to blogs, good communicating, and a final project that is relevant to what I am teaching (last semester was creating a wiki, which I will continue to update for fellow teachers).
