Educ 422 Introduction Letter
Dear Students,
My name is Brenda Herbert. I was born in Wurzburg Germany, and raised in the United States Virgin Island St. Thomas. My primary school years were spend in Germany at Wurzbury American School, until I was age twelve and completed seventh grade my family and I departed for another tour. Lucky for my family, my father who served in the United States military (Army) as an officer decide he would try the United States Virgin Island (St. Thomas). That is where I continued on with my eight through twelfth grade education. I graduated from St. Thomas Roman Catholic High School. I then elected to attend Carthage College in Kenosha Wisconsin, where I graduated with a B.S in Liberal Studies. I will be applying for the Credential Program Fall 07.
It is scary for me as a prospective teacher to realize that so many young students know more about technology than I do. It is difficulty for me to admit that I do not know every thing that I would like to know. I am a PC person, because I do not have access to a Mac and when I do encounter a Mac it is very slow. In today’s age we are totally dependent on technology to do some of the following; pay bills, check on finances, do banking, receive and send assignments that are due either at work or school, get home work, get report cards, send letters to love ones, and we are becoming a paperless world. But it is my responsibility to work hard to enhance this content knowledge, especially as it relates to technology and the issues that surround technology in schools today.
The College of Education Mission statement says, “We are committed to diversity, our practice demonstrates a commitment to students-centered education, diversity, collaboration, professionalism, and shared governance.” Means a lot to when I applied to this University. This University does not just talk or put words on paper, but it follows through with cooperative power, global order, self-transformation and social democracy. I made a good choice when I chose this University to continue on into the Credential Program.
