Introduction Post


Welcome to my nautical EME2040 blog! My name is Natalie Genton. The nautical theme for my blog is inspired by the fact that I grew up in Maryland; home to crabs, boats, and all things nautical. Florida is pretty great, but I think I'm more of a Maryland girl. Along with that, I am from a Navy family and I am also a Navy girlfriend, so that fits the theme pretty well too! I am extremely passionate about education and working with kids. One day I hope to either be a public school teacher or even a children's ministry director at a church.

Unfortunately I don't have significant technological experience when it comes to education. I have become familiar with the standard Word programs but not much else outside that. I have minimal experience with voice recording and video editing. My skills in those areas are far from impressive.

In this class I am actually really looking forward to learning more about programs I am already familiar with, as well as news things! I believe that what I learn in this class will be extremely beneficial to my future careers as technology continues to become used more and more in the classroom. I want to be able to provide my students with the best education they can get, so with that comes being well versed in using educational technology.

    Hi Natalie! It was a pleasure reading about you and what you would like to learn from this class! I too am from a nautical place, the Florida Keys! It is a set of islands, south of Miami. We too are home of crabs, boats, and plenty of more nautical things. I am also extremely passionate about working with kids, but instead of education, I would like to advocate for children within a court setting. It was a pleasure learning about you, good luck on this semester!

    Hi Nat!
    I love your theme because it's so unique and special since it's about your home where you grew up. I have some distant family that's in the military both navy and army. I also don't have much experience with technology other than my iPhone, Mac book, and Microsoft Office. I'm looking forward to learning more as well because of this technological world we live in.

    Hey! I am super glad we are seat buddies, and I loved learning more about you! I think we are both in the same boat (haha) in terms of our technological experiences. Being a Florida girl myself I understand your love of the water. Hope you learn what you want from this class and can make the most of it!

    Hi Natalie, it was great to get to know you! I am also an Elementary Education major with a passion for education and working with kids. I never really thought about being a children's ministry director at church but that does sound really amazing thank you for a great idea and career option to consider. I enjoyed reading your blog and I loved the creativity you included!

    Hello, Natalie! Since I'm from and island, I can understand liking nautical related things. I know we spoke a bit during the introducing your partner thing, so I won't reintroduce myself. Hope to work with you again.
