My name is Natalie Vitale, and I am from Erie, PA. I am nineteen years old and am currently a freshman at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. I am a duel major in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I am really excited about my major choice. Teaching is something that I have always known that I have wanted to do. My dad has always been a role model for me and while being young I had gone to his classroom multiple of times and always loved it. I think that is where my interest in becoming a teacher began.
I feel that technology in a school setting has become very important and should be apart of all students lives. At this point in life everything that we do almost always involves using some sort of technology. Being an early childhood major, I strongly believe that we should start having the students interact with technology at their young age because by the time that they are older they will know what they are doing and have no trouble, wether if it is for a job, or their school work.
I believe that the way people teach and act towards their students strongly effects them more than people may ever know. A positive teacher in a students life is more than a teacher. It is a role model. It is someone that a student looks up to. The way you teach your students will effect them and hopefully positively impact them to where they will take what you have taught them with them and remember it, and to me that is very rewarding.

As a child in school, I remember my teachers would use a lot of School House Rock videos. They were a good way to get the main idea of the lesson's point across to the students.
