My name is Vanessa Michelle Wyatt, and I am an Elementary Education Major at Montana State University. I have a great passion for working with children, and have devoted many hours to volunteering as a teacher's aide in my mom's Head Start classroom. I am also pursuing an enhancement in Early Childhood Development, as well as an enhancement in Computer Technology.

My Philosophy on Teaching:

My philosophy on teaching is that the role of any teacher is to instill a love for learning inside each and every student. To accomplish this, I must have a passion for learning as well. I must encourage them and help them to grow and learn in a positive environment. The use of constructive criticism is vital in the role of a teacher. As teachers, we should strive to learn as much from our students as they do from us. My experience with children, in my mom's Head Start classroom, has provided me with the understanding that children have an internal flare for learning, if I can only spark this flare. I am an extremely energetic and hands-on person, and I plan to incorporate this into my teaching.

I have personally created this web guide as a resource tool to aid people in understanding computer and software management.  This link provides the user with information on:  Computer Troubleshooting and Maintenance; Physical Integration of Computers; How to Purchase Hardware; How to Purchase and Manage Software; Tips on Networking; and Computer Dictionaries and References.  I created this web page during the spring semester of my junior year at MSU, while in my EDCI 450 class.  I hope you find this link helpful and enjoyable.
