Hello Everyone!
My name is Pamela Perez and this is my first class at Brandman. I did attend CSU Fresno straight out of high school on an athletic scholarship. Unfortunately life happens and got the best of me. I have spent the last year taking classes at Fresno City College to make up some general education classes I needed. I am also enrolled in my last two classes this semester at Fresno City. I am pursuing my degree in Liberal Studies. I am currently employed at a successful independent study charter high school. The company I work for is amazing and has school sites up and down the state. Right now I am the Student Relations Manager. My team consists of what you would normally see as the classified staff at a traditional school. My goal is to transition over to the educational staff and become a teacher.
My goal for this course is to help me become more aware of all resources available for research. Right now I use the internet mostly but I am not very good nor do I put much effort into verifying if the information is credible. I have not really used any online libraries so this will broaden my resources. I think it is important for me to open up to other avenues of research especially now that I am enrolled with the online program. I am old school when it comes to technology. I would rather have a hard copy that I can write on and physically have in my hand. This class is an excellent first course for me with the online program. Being that many schools and programs offer more technology based courses I believe it is important for me as I venture towards my goal in joining the educational staff with my school.
Hopefully I will be able to connect with some of you who are possibly wanting to get the same things out of this class as I do. I am looking forward to working with you all.
