EDUC 150 and Me

My name is Kevin Clear. I live near the beach and try to spend as much time there as possible. I love to play sports and be outside. Along with being active I enjoy working on both real and model cars. I try to spend as much time as I can with friends and family. I work hard and have held a job since I was 15. I am a very busy person and doing the things I love to do relaxes me and keeps me as stress free as possible!


I am a Junior Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies, IdLS, Major at James Madison University. When I graduate I plan on teaching at the elementary school level. I have been working with children since my early high school years and have found that it has become somewhat of a passion for me. After teaching for several years I plan to return to school and work toward a doctorate in administration and eventually take a position as a principal. If at all possible, and if I can generate the ambition, I would like to open my own private school near the beach. I have enjoyed the education classes in which I have been enrolled and look forward to this class and relating it to my future career as an educator. I have been working recently to become more technologically savvy. I feel that this class will give me some experiences that will be valuable in my future. I hope to learn about a broad view of the concept of information and how people interact with that concept. I am hoping to determine practical uses for information and how information affects today's society. I am interested in the concepts presented in the course description and look forward learning how I can relate them to the classroom. I am excited about this class and will continue to share updates!

  1. Mr. Clear: we need more men in elementary education! I'm glad to hear about your plans. Technology is quickly becoming a part of school culture across the country, and I hope the readings and discussions this semester hold your interest.

  2. Those are my hopes as well. I look forward to finding those connections and hopefully finding ways to connect more technology and use more information to enhance student learning.
