I have to be honest I probably am not as good with technology as I should be. I can do the basics but anything else I need some help. These days everything is all about technology, so I do understand the need to know how. I am a visual learner so it makes things easier when I can see it done and then give it a try. However I do love the whole computer thing, I have a laptop and I just about live off it, I listen to music, watch t.v. shows, do my homework, pay my bills, and the list goes on. So being in this class to become even more knowledgeable about what is out there in technology is something I am very excited for.
To be honest I have never looked at the college mission statement until now. I picked Cal State as a school I wanted to attend based on other reasons. What school had the best teaching program and how close it was to my house were factors that I thought about. However I think that the part that speaks to me the most is, "We are committed to diversity, educational equity, and social justice, exemplified through reflective teaching, life-long learning, innovative research, and ongoing service." I feel this is very important because I think it in a way describes what all people should live by, not just teachers. It is important to have these aspects to live by in order to be successful.
