​Welcome to Elaine's EDT 3010 Portfolio



Hi, my name is Elaine Crowe and I have been married for 27 years to my husband Steve. We have two amazing children, Kayla 26 and Kevin 22. Our nest is a little empty, but we find ways to enjoy ourselves with going to concerts, dinner with friends, and lots and lots of golf. I currently work as a special education paraeducator at Monarch High School. I have been working with children that have learning disabilities, social emotional disorders and intellectual disabilities. As I have worked for 10 years with these children, I have come to the conclusion that I would love to be the teacher and hopefully make learning fun. I decided that with my experience, going back to school would be the next thing I would need to do to pursue my passion of working with children. Going back to school has proven to be quite the challenge. I think that anything worth pursuing is never that easy. Having heart surgery and really coming close to not making it through, gives you a new perspective on what is important. I knew that finishing my degree is something that I have always regretted not doing, which makes me more determined to finish. So with that being said, this technology class is really taking me out of my comfort area, but I am determined to be better at it and really learn how I can use it in the classroom to enhance learning.
