New Media and New Literacies Introduction

 Hi everyone! 

My name is Emily Brady. I graduated with my bachelors degree from the College of Saint Rose in may of 2024. I studied childhood and special education while I was there. This year I have been working in a title 1 school in Rensselear County New York. I am currently teaching first grade special education in an inclusion setting. I began pursuing my M.S.ED this past spring semester after taking a few months to get acquainted to the life of being a teacher. 

In my free time I enjoy being outside and exploring. I love playing pickleball, going for walks or hikes, and surrounding myself with fun ways to relax. I have also been recently loving to read as a hobby. 

Learning goals: I am excited for this course as I think there are so many modes of media and enabling in new medias will be enlightening. I love getting to use technology in a way that is useful and helpful both inside and outside of the classroom and I hope to learn about how to implement more media in the classroom. Working with first grade students a lot of technology is inaccessible to them and I really would love more ways to incorporate it.
