Greetings,
My name is Melissa Brown Jordan. I am from North Mobile and I am currently residing in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I am the youngest of three, an older sister and older brother. I graduated from Troy University in December 2005. Since then, I have taught school in Escambia County. My first year, I taught ninth grade English and my second year I taught seventh and eighth grade English. It was quite the experience! I am married to a childhood friend and we have a lovely dog, Parker Ross Jordan. At the present time, I am pursuing my Master's degree in English Education. It is my aspiration to teach college.
I love technology! I don't know what I might do without email and texting. I love all kinds of different gadgets and it doesn't take me long to figure out how to use something new. I have an IPhone 4 and my favorite thing is to use Facetime to talk to my niece with her IPod touch. In the classroom, I like to use the Elmo projector. It is one of the best things that one person could have thought of. It is so versatile. One of the ways that I use it is for chapter pretest and post test. You can use the tests straight out of the book and project it onto the board. Students volunteer to answer the questions and I use colored markers for them to circle/write their answers. We even turn this into a game! I also like the smart board.
