About Me and a few of my Interests

This post will let you know a little bit about me......

I love to travel.  I have traveled to Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Mexico (several times), and Nicaragua.  I have also traveled some within the United States.  If I had more time and money available to me I would travel constantly.  Instead I go to travelchannel.com/ and pretend that I am there. 

Of course, being raised in Nebraska and living here my whole life makes me a very avid Nebraska Cornhusker fan.  You could say "I bleed Husker red".  I have great memories from my childhood of watching the football rivalry game between Nebraska and Oklahoma every Thanksgiving weekend.  I enjoy going to Husker football games since we are season ticket holders. My son is currently a freshman attending the University of Nebraska - Lincoln so this has made me even more of a fan.  Two websites that I visit often are http://www.huskers.com/ and http://www.unl.edu/ to find out what is going on with my favorite team. 

Another of my interests is singing and music.  I really like listening to music in Spanish.   I've included a link to my favorite on-line Spanish radio station http://www.batanga.com/#/es/ so you can listen, too.

Finally,  something fun (that seems to take up much of my time)  is surfing the web for new teaching ideas.  I have found that Pinterest contains a wealth of ideas and information.  When I search "Spanish classroom" or "Teaching Spanish" it leads me from one "pin" to another.   It's free at http://pinterest.com/ .  I also have discovered a blog that keeps me up to date on some of the latest uses for technology in my classroom at http://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.com/ .  Since our school has gone One-to-One it's been a great source for new ways to use technology in the classroom.
