What a beautiful way to start the day... ................So sit down by the sea and count your blessings..............Another beautiful day is coming our way

Weclome to My Wiki Page. My name is Drusilla Pekarski and I teach Family Consumer Science at the Austin Area High School. __Enhancing Core Teaching Skills with Technology__ =A Little About Me= My name is Drusilla Pekarski and I live in Coudersport Pa. I returned to teaching after staying home for 23 years to raise 4 children. I am a part-time Teacher of Family Consumer Science in the Austin Area School District and have been for 23 years.

=Introduction to my ePortfolio= Instructions: As you complete the course (module 8), come back here to write your introduction. Include an overall reflection on your ePortfolio, your Integration Plan, and your achievement of the NETS standards for teachers. This will be an introduction to the reader. You may replace this text with your own.

=**My goal for this course: Technology is so neceesary in todays living and just when you think you have seen the limits more tools and uses come along. We must keep adding more technology devices to the students' learning as 21st century learners. My goal for this course is to try to come up with new and exciting technology ideas that can help my students be prepared for the 21st century. We cannot begin to teach the students what they will need to know because we have no idea what the next 30 years will bring, but by adding more technology to their learning they will be better prepared as 21st century learners.**=

**Integration Plan**

**Your Name:** Drusilla Pekarski **Grade level:** 9

**Name of Lesson:** Family Consumer Science Careers

**Description of Lesson:** Careers affect every aspect of your lifestyle. Your personality, interests, talents, values, and goals can help you find a career that suits you. Preparation for your career should include care planning and study. It will affect your self-concept and self-esteem, so the individual must begin to know themselves. The students will now turn to the computer, and many other tools of technology that is at their access in our school library. The first tool they will use is creating their own wiki and they will “surf” the internet for careers in Family Consumer Science .Learning about career choices can help the individual identify the type of career that is right for them and their future. They will now create a wiki and on the Home Page they will describe a career that they feel is right for them and also a feeling of their own self-concepts and self-esteem, for knowing themselves is the main goal for the Home Page. They will “surf” the internet to the web-sites for careers in Family Consumer Science.
