Hello everyone!! My name is Rocelia Mendez. I transferred this year from Mira Costa College in Oceanside. I am enrolled in in the ICP program for my time being here at CSUSM. This semester I am taking EDU 364, HIST 347, MATH 210, and DNCE 311, aside from this class. Most of the time I use my phone and I PAD to log in for school and to check my emails. I love the website Pinterest and am very hooked on it now, it is a place were you can find ideas for anything you can think of. I think that technology is very well used everywhere we go. I see most of the students engaged on their phones most of their free time, in between classes and breaks. It seems that now a days everyone has a phone or device they use throughout the day. I also believe that technology has had a major impact in communication between family and friends, and some relationships have been affected by it as well.
Being in this class I know I will learn a lot and leave the semester knowing more and having a better understanding of some terms about technology and hopefully being able to teach it to others. I am very excited to be in this class. Some of the skill I have with technology is being able to use a computer, smart phone, I Pad, and knowing how to use certain programs. I don't know a whole lot but that is why I am in this class as well, to learn.
Now about myself. I am married, going on eleven years this year. I have two beautiful daughters, my oldest whom is 4 years old, and my young one whom is 1 year old. They are my inspiration to continue my education and my husband is the rock that supports me not just physically but emotionally as well. I have a great family that support me and helps me out in order for me to continue my education. my mother in law takes care of my girls when I am at school; my brother in law drops off and picks up my daughter from school; and my wonderful husband helps me out with everything. I am very excited to have started this semester here at Cal. State and I know I will have a wonderful experience. I hope to get to know most of you from this class and maybe work together sometime, but for now I wish everyone the best and hope for a great semester to everyone!
