Introduction- Get to know me!

Hello, Everyone! Welcome to my blog! 

My name is Kailey Maloney. I am a sophomore in the 5-year childhood and special education program with a concentration in history. 

I love to watch and play sports with my siblings. I have been playing field hockey for the last 11 years and now coach a youth team in Huntington! I am also a huge Islanders fan and love to watch them play with my dad whether it be at UBS Arena or from our couch. 

I am also a big Disney fan and love visiting the parks in Orlando, Florida! I have been going there ever since I was a little kid and still get so excited every time I go. No matter how many times I go to the parks or how many times I watch some of my favorite movies I always feel the magic that Disney creates!

I am so excited to learn more in this course and hope that everyone has a great semester!

  [How Does Social Media Affect Your Health?].(2021). https://foothillsneurology.com/how-does-social-media-affect-our-mental-health/ Social Media and Technology Use in Schools I have grown up using and having access to technology and social media. In school, SMART boards were installed into every single classroom in first grade. In first grade I was five years old. When I was in eighth grade my school district began to give out Chromebooks to every single student. When I was a senior in high school the school district thought that the SMART boards were not good enough anymore and changed to a more advanced board. Even now as a 19 year old college student writing this blog on my computer, technology is essential to learning. It is necessary.  I think that there is a difference between social media use in schools and technology that needs to be acknowledged. I do not think that social media is beneficially in school and in the classroom but I do think that technology is. I ...

  Final Blog Post- My Thoughts and Reflection With only a few days left in the semester, I was excited to film this vlog and be able to talk about some of the things that impacted me the most, stood out to me and ideas that I hope to implement into my classroom. This class truly was a great way to set a foundation in education for me and opened my eyes to so many issues that take place in classrooms and schools around the country. Many of these issues I had a little but of previous knowledge but having so many different resources available to me throughout the modules I was able to expand my knowledge greatly. Without further ado, I will let you watch my vlog for this week’s final blog post! Hope you enjoy!

  Bridging the Gap Between Home and the Classroom [Parent-Teacher Communication Be the Difference]. (2012). https://mariadismondy.com/2012/08/28/parent-teacher-communication/ Part One Creating a relationship with parents is one of the most important but overlooked aspects of becoming an educator. At the elementary level communication between the educator and parent/guardians is so important and can really improve the level of learning and understanding.  At the Board of Education meeting I attended in Northport, I was able to see first hand the benefits of communication with parents as well as the lack of communication with parents. Luckily this was not my first board meeting that I attended so I knew what to expect of a regular meeting. My dad is a former board member in Northport so I grew up hearing all about the different things that would be discussed and debated at these meetings as well as attending many of them. Now that I am older and entering the education field...
