Space Camp!

I'm going to Space Camp!

In two weeks I will leave fly to Huntsville Alabama for a week at Space Camp. The trip is sponsored by the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT). First, a little bit about myself.

I'm a technology facilitator for Elementary schools in Lincoln County. Many of you may have met me this year as I worked with your teachers to bring more technology into your classrooms. Some of you may not have met me yet.

I love to use technology to learn about the world. I spend a lot of time reading about interesting things on the Internet and sometimes playing video games.

I have been interested in Astronomy and Space since I was in elementary school. I love reading about space travel, both real and imaginary.

I'm looking forward to space camp. From what I have read there are a lot of really cool things. I'm really looking forward to using microgravity simulators any maybe even flying the space shuttle on a simulated mission!

I'll post more as we get closer to the date. When I'm at Space Camp I plan to post daily. I may even be able to post videos and pictures from my experiences. I hope you will follow along!
