First, let me introduce myself. My name is Becky DePuy, I'm 28 years old, and I am an Art teacher in a rural school district in North Central Ohio. I teach grades 1-4 and high school Art 1. My interests include outdoors (hiking, fishing, camping, photography), aerobics, country music and line dancing, all forms of Art (especially ceramics and painting), and movies.

I've always loved learning about computers and technology. I try to incorporate as much technology into my Art classes as I can. My students love using computers and technology as well and oftentimes teach me a thing or two about new technology and resources available. I love my students' enthusiasm and interest in new technologies. I truly believe that technology is the new wave of the future and we as teachers, must learn as much as we can and incorporate as much as we can technologically into our classrooms for successful learning to take place. Students these days are different and learn differently than students did 10 years ago. We must recognize this and adapt to this fact. I am very excited to be in this class and learning about all of the new technological resources available to me to use with my classes!
