am a senior at the University of Kentucky, studying elementary education and graduating in May, 2004. During my career at the University, I have been on the Dean's List six semesters and will be graduating Magna Cum Laude. I have completed my practicum and student teaching experiences at the professional development school, Squires Elementary. I have gained extensive technological experience working at the Digital Media Networking lab at the University of Kentucky for the last two years. In May of 2004, I will be conducting research with Dr. Brent Seales and his staff in Puerto Rico. Following graduation, I plan on teaching in Lexington. Shortly thereafter, I plan to return to the University to pursue a master's degree in administration or instructional systems design.

 

Jessica Muetterties has worked in my laboratory for almost two years and has been a valuable contributor to my research
efforts. Her willingness to take a risk by working outside her immediate area (Education) has been a very positive experience
for my research group. Her submission to Kaleidoscope represents an honest appraisal of her experience in contributing to
a research project as an undergraduate, and I think it gives a valuable picture of what that can be like — her story should
appeal to others on campus who may also have research opportunities.
