Meet+Mrs.+Welliver

Hi! My name is Julie Welliver. I am excited to welcome you to my Wiki! I am creating this as a requirement for my technology class that I am taking this semester through Bloomsburg University. I am excited to be challenging my knowledge and thrilled to have the ability to keep up with the ever growing and changing demands for computer knowledge. Our students today do not know what a world without technology would be like. I can't believe how it has changed since I graduated from college. I felt fortunate that I could borrow a computer to do my work on and then print it out on the continuous form paper on a dot matrix printer! Today my kindergarten kids show me a thing or two every time we go to our computer lab. Therefore, I need to keep up with the computer age!

I have been a teacher in the Williamsport Area School District for 22 yeears. I have a Bachelors degree from Mansfield University with a certification to teach Mentally and Physically handicapped children from kindergarten to twelfth grade. I got my Masters in Education from Bloomsburg University with an emphasis in reading. Finally, to complete my education I have an Elementary Education Certification to teach kindergarten through sixth grade from Lycoming College. With all of that, I still view myself as a learner everyday. I taught special education in the Williamsport Area School district for 13 years then followed my dream to spend the day teaching the best grade ever, kindergarten! Where it is fun and exciting everyday! I absolutely love my job!!! I thank God everyday that I have chosen a career that I look forward to going to work every day!

As for my personal life, I have a great family! A hard working husband and two children that keep me busy every day! When my school day ends, I pack up my bags and head to the soccer or softball field, basketball court or the motocross track! If you check with my family, they never see me without my "teacher stuff". You never know when there will be a little downtime to fill in some nametags or certificates!

Thank you for spending a little time with my Wiki! Come back often!
