About Me
- Tara Korth
- Hi, my name is Tara Korth. I am a first grade teacher at Clarkson Public Schools. I have been teaching for five years and I have truly loved every minute of it. Everyday is a new adventure. I attended the University of Nebraska Lincoln to get my BA in education. I loved it there and sometimes miss it. I am not comfortable with technology at all. I fear the unknown. Technology is always changing and I never feel as if I am caught up in learning how to work everything. I don't mind using it if there is someone nearby to help me if I need it. Until I became a teacher I loved PC's. However, for Christmas my husband bought me a Mac lab top because I have grown to love Macs. They just seem to work more efficient for what I need a computer for. Also, the school I teach at uses all Macs. I have been inspired to get my Master's Degree because I had a good friend go through this exact program and she loved it. I knew at some point in my life I was going to get my Master's so I decided I should do it now before my husband and I decided to have more kids.

I agree that reluctant teachers need to get on board with technology!! ☺ It is too big of a motivator for students to have teachers be unwilling to learn the use. However, I can totally relate to these teachers who want to learn it when they have time (a.k.a. summer or breaks). I feel like there is SO much to learn that putting a time limit on it is hard. I enjoyed the part about “cramming technology down their throats” because it is so true! If it is an option, more people are willing. If it is a requirement, it is avoided! However, it is difficult to know where to start when teaching because everyone is at different knowledge-levels with technology. Advanced people would feel held back if it were basic training, and “newbies” would feel completely lost with advanced training. Stipends would be great motivators for teachers, however, like you said, unnecessary. ☺ One tip I got from a co-worker that I want to suggest to you is to record your narrating in “snippets” instead of all at one time. It let’s you move the recording to whatever picture(s) you want it talking through and it also allows for you to delete the SMALL recording if you were to stumble over words or whatever. That way you are only deleting a small part and not worry about deleting the entire speech! ☺ Good job and good luck in expanding your knowledge base! :)
