Hi! I’m Kim Marsey and I live in Southern Pa. I have been a Family and Consumer Science Teacher for 33 years. Last year due to the district’s debt and budget cuts, they eliminated my program along with tech ed, computers, and music. They did approve a sabbatical instead of unemployment, so here I am trying to be a math teacher. I have never taken a class online, never blogged, never even Facebook, so this is all new and trying. I did get my husband to connect a keyboard to the laptop ( our newest computer) so hopefully that frustration of slow & old won’t be a problem.
My two goals for taking this class are to gain a better understanding of Algebra. And gain some creative methods for teaching math to my middle school students. I don’t feel that just passing a test makes you a math teacher.
