CONNECTED

Our family had a computer for the first time when I was about 8 years old. Now I could not even imagine the life without the computer because it is a part of every day life which makes communication so much easier. Although, sometimes I think that the quality of the life would be better without one, then I would have more time to study and read.
I use information technology every day. I use different social webpages and sometimes even some forums. I personally prefer to read news from the regular newspaper and not from the web. Of course every day I check my e-mails, sometimes I feel that I am adicted to checking the e-mails. After a short period I refresh my e-mail account to see if there are any new e-mails for me.
I am able to use the most common application programs like Power Point, Word, Paint, Publisher and Movie maker. I have hard time to us Excel because I don’t have experiences of using the formulas.
I wish I would know how to program different things, for example  to create the homepages. Also, I would like to learn different picture and video editing programs. Video editing  would be great to know, then I would edit my own home videos, cut the unneccessary clips, add the music backgrounds and add the names.  As a teacher I would like to use the different information technology and websites to make the class lessons more intresting and to offer more study methods.

Looking for myself!

HELLO! My name is Merily and I am in my early 20´s.  I was born and raised in Estonia. I am a student at Haapsalu College in the 5-th course. In the future I will be a class teacher. Some reasons why I want to be a teacher is to practice three  life´s most important valuable virtues: kindness, patience and understanding and to share my love and passion. Despite the fact that there are many good reasons why to be a teacher, nevertheless I also have my doubts...

The family is very important part of my life. I have an elder sister and a younger brother who made my childhood days more colourful. Three years ago I also got a second little brother. At the moment he is my best little friend. J

I really enjoy reading. Reading broadens my view of life, helps me generate the new ideas and gives the pleasure that barely anything else can offer. My specific interest is to make and decorate birthday cakes. And of course I like travelling  and spending time with my friends.  My friends give me the strength to carry on and enjoy life.
My recent passion is to create different educational games. It´s a lucky person, who can do the things what he/she enjoys and I am one of them.
