Activity 0: Hello Activity

Hello,

I am Terry-Ann Marsh-Roberts from the twin island state of Antigua and Barbuda, where tourism is everything; with the sun, sea and sand we have to offer from our 365 beaches.

I am an Educational Psychology and Research Methods lecturer at the Teacher Education Department of the Antigua State College.

I enjoy reading, cooking, travelling, hiking and swimming in addition to that, I love life and the people who I am blessed to share it with.

As a result, the students who I facilitate are aspiring teachers and seasoned teachers from a wide gamma of public and private institutions in Antigua and Barbuda.

Therefore, I strongly believe I will gain a variety of competences in this course as I continue to gain knowledge, skills, and attitudes as it relates to integrating ICT in Education.

Do I have computer access? I have two computers at home and one faculty member laptop. In addition, each classroom is equipped with 20 computers.

Finally, there is one other thing that I have now found enjoyment in being able to do at this point in time, it is applying ICT skills in the classroom.
