The Learning Curve

Hey all,

So this quarter I am continuing my education in order to become an Agricultural Educator. I am in the block, a group of Ag ed classes that prepares you to student teach. While it is really busy, especially if you are involved here on campus, I am quickly finding out that all the work will be worth it in the end. We have gotten a taste of teaching high school students and the experience make you feel like your doing somehting important which is exactly what I was looking for in this profession. I just got out of my technology in education class and have been thinking of what my ideal classroom set-up would be like. I have some background using the Ohio Unions sweet technology so it might be lofty. I will attempt to stay resonable though.

- Projector hooked up to a tablet PC or Ipad that I could carry around the room.
- Decent ceiling speakers with a CD player and an 1/8th inch aux in.
- Copier in the corner for endless amounts of handouts
- and maybe a 37 in flatscreen hung in another corner of the room for a better picture when I show videos.

...Ideal...

Welcome to the C-Deck!

Welcome to life from the C-deck! This is the first hopefully bi-weekly post about my life! Hopefully as you start to follow you can learn alittle about myself. We will start with some basics. My name is Matthew William Elsass and I am an agricultural education major at The Ohio State University. I'm in such organizations as the Agricultural Education Society or AES for short, and Farmhouse International Fraternity. I also work at the Ohio Union building working in the AV department as a student manager. Its been a busy week and its only Monday, right now i'm just working for the weekend.
