Introduction

Hi, my name is Marilyn. I'm a proud mother of three adult children and three awesome grandchildren. I enjoy fundraising, yoga/meditation and traveling to far away places. I am a Teacher's Assistant in Far Rockaway, NY. The past three years at Challenge Preparatory School has been most enjoyable. I have been in the field of education for quite some time and in my previous life, I worked for the National Education Association, NEA. In that capacity, I was responsible for organizing and teacher recruitment. I did a favorable amount of travel with the NEA. If I had to write a book, it would be Miss. International Goes to NYIT.  My favorite joke is, What is the best time to go to the dentist? Tooth-hurty (2:30).  Spring 2019, would be my first semester at  NYIT. To my understanding, New Literacies is the concept of using technological learning in the classroom. My major concerns about the course are how to apply this new learning as a part of my everyday life. I so welcome this challenge, as it will enable me to become an effective learner;  most of all a marketable teacher candidate.
