Hello my name is Ryan Carter, I am currently the 6th grade History teacher at Etowah Middle School in Attalla, Alabama. I coach several sports including football and baseball. I'm very fortunate to be able to come back to my home town school and teach. I have been married for 9 years to my beautiful wife Crystal Carter and we have 2 beautiful girls one the age of 7 who is Caraline and the other is Sadie who is 3. I received a Bachelors Degree in Social Science from Ashford University, I'm currently enrolled in the Alternative 5th Year Program at JSU where I will be getting my Elementary Education Degree. I do not have any social media accounts at this time, however I do understand the way technology is used in the classroom today that I need to learn and I feel like this class will help me succeed in learning social media. The technology I'm very familiar with is Imovie and Prezis we use these throughout the year in my class as presentations on our history topics. Students really enjoy technology from what I have seen in my classroom this past year. I also have an Apple TV and projector where I mirror my IPAD during class when we take notes and have discussions. I have a MacBook Pro that I use day to day for my personal business, my daughter has an IPAD mini. My goal is to teach and mentor these young men and women in todays life to be college or career ready whether it be in the classroom or out on the field.

Great job Coach!The information in your blog post is informative and I enjoyed reading it. I can only dream of having an Apple TV in my classroom. I plan to try the iMovie this year, I have heard other teachers praise the use of iMovie for presentations in the classroom.
