Introducing Chris

My name is Christopher Clements and am a native of San Diego county. I earned a B.A. in History from U.C.L.A. and am currently finishing up my last class to get into the single subject credential program at CSUSM. By day I am a substitute teacher from Fallbrook High School and Fallbrook Elementry School districts. By night I an a delivery driver for a pharmacy and help my girlfriend with her masters thesis.

In regards to technology I use my friends PS3, after that my experience with computers or programs of any sort is limited. I can research topics of all areas, but in aspects of blogging, going online or just using a computer, I am limited. If and when I do go online I am looking for political news or going to ESPN.com. I am a quick study but I find that the technology moves so fast I discover myself lagging behind 5th graders in computer knowledge.

However, my undergrad experience gave my the tools I need to take on technical challenges by myself. My professors through out loads of information, much of which was technical with little or no help. I had to take on a sink or swim mentality and I lived. So I feel I will take a great deal away from this class to one day spring me into a technical word that revolves around education. The education mission statement directly targets the idea of diversity, which means more than state census information. It also means technologically literate because the education system and world work force is being driven with further advancing technology. So it is our jobs as hopeful teachers that we will be able to install the means necessary to succeed in and advanced world.
