Welcome to my blog! My name is Shareef Abuhajah, and I am an eighth grade social studies teacher at Westdale Middle School in Baton Rouge. I have been teaching Louisiana History for 2 years now, but I have been a teacher for a total of 6 years. I just became a father, so whenever I am not busy with work or graduate courses, I am helping my wife take care of our son.
I am looking forward to this semester in our class. I hope to get exposure to technology tools that I never really had a reason to use and learn about before taking this course. Actually, I probably had plenty of reasons to use the tools out there, but never really knew about them. So far, this semester has been very interactive, and I already feel like I am learning a lot about what's out there on the internet. For one, I never really considered creating a blog. I did have a Facebook account when I was doing my undergraduate degree, but I deactivated it years ago. This feels very similar to what I would have done on that platform, excepted way more focused.
