This document introduces a mature aged student studying Early Childhood Education online who lives on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland with her family. She hopes the course will introduce innovative uses of ICTs in the classroom, show how technology currently impacts teaching, and help her optimize her own professional use of technology. Her goals as a teacher are to make a difference in children's lives, share wonders of the world with them, and prepare students for life while continuing her own learning. She looks forward to the upcoming semester.
