Introduction and Welcome

Myself, Stanley, and my wife, Angelika, enjoying California.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog, a space that I will use to reflect on my journey through the University of Arkansas' ETEC 5213 class.

My name is Bobby Oliver, and I teach English and journalism in San Diego County, California. Last week, I concluded my fourth professional year of teaching high school. Technology was used more in this last year than I had ever seen in a public school classroom. Utilizing websites like Prezi and Canvas, as well as applications like Instagram and ClassDojo made it an interesting and successful year with multiple ways to contact and collaborate with my students.

With this blog, I hope to share some of those stories and share some of the things I learn in ETEC 5213. I will be responding to prompts that are given to the class, and I will use it as a tool to help me with website building and designing. More than anything, it will be a spot for my reflection and growth as an educator and learner. Thank you for visiting, and check in soon!
