Hello everyone, my name is Ariel Myers and I am so excited for you to get to know me! Click here to view my Voki and learn more about me.

Feel free to follow the transcript below while viewing the Voki:

Hello everyone, my name is Ariel Myers and I am from Long Island, New York. I recently graduated from Duquesne University this past May with a B.S. in Spanish Education. While I am still taking my tests to get certified in New York, I work full-time as an Technology Coordinator for Brookville Center for Children's Services(BCCS). BCCS is a growing school for children and adults whom are autistic and/or have learning disabilities. In a perfect world, I would enjoy teaching secondary Spanish or working in a Public School District in as an Educational Technologist. My educational passion that I pursue everyday is educating. I love encouraging and teaching others about the benefits they can gain with technology. With that being said, I truly enjoy learning about assistive technologies. I work around children and adults everyday who are not as fortunate as I am. Both these children and adults have created miracles by using all sorts of devices to express themselves when some people thought they did not even have a voice. This has been a huge eye-opener for me not only as an educator but as a person as well. I hope to gain more knowledge about assistive technologies through this course.
