About+Me

= All About Me = === Hi! My name is Ali Brock and welcome to our classroom wiki! Since I will be spending the next several months with your children, I would like to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about me. I was born and raised in Hanford, CA, and moved to Aurora, CO in 2003. I graduated from Eaglecrest High School in Aurora, CO in 2008 and soon headed off to Colorado State University to pursue my college career. After attending CSU for a couple of years I transferred to Metropolitan State College of Denver in 2010. I enjoy spending time time with my family and my boyfriend of 4 years. I also am a big dog lover and recently adopted my own dog this past summer! Her name is Mia and she is a piece of work! I am very excited to start this year and get to know all of my students and push them to their full potentials! ===

Here is a little slide show about me, my boyfriend, and my dog Mia!
= My Philosophy = === I believe the classroom is a place for learning in a new, innovated way. My purpose is to teach my students in the best way they know how to learn. I plan to be a role model for my students and appreciate what each and every student brings to the table. Students should be themselves in the classroom and be allowed to take risks. Students should also learn to interact with others and use that time to problem solve and bring about change. Students should learn a sense of responsibility, and be allowed to make their own choices. ===

I also believe that technology is a huge element of the classroom in this century. Since our children will be getting real world jobs in the unknown future, it is crucial that technology be taught and used in the classroom. I plan on incorporating technology in the classroom through powerpoint presentations, the use of computers (and computer programs), and using my wiki to show students how cool the internet can be.

Why you should hire me...
