Intro

Hey Everyone,
My name is Carly Simpson and I am a Southern California native. I was born and raised here in North County in Poway. From Poway my family moved to San Marcos where we reside today. I have a very close knit family and my two siblings are my world. I spent my K-12 years in the San Marcos Unified School District and loved it. I worked in administration for the S.M.U.S.D. district office in human resources and purchasing for 5 years on and off and am looking forward to joining their teaching staff in the next couple years. I love traveling, music, sports, outdoors and being with my family and friends!
My experience with technology isn’t exactly the most impressive. I have had a computer most of my life whether it be a Mac or a PC. I have recently bought a HP laptop and its my new gadget… all that I have to do now is set up a wireless network of my own instead of using whoever had wireless in range…ha! As a whole I guess I am most comfortable with PC’s although I have accepted the fact that I do not speak computer… but I would LOVE to learn. I love music I am not part of the new fad with Ipods and MP3 players. As far as how much I depend on technology on a daily basis… hmm… I would have to say that I rely on my cell phone, car, and email to get me through every single day… geez… that’s kind of sad.
The mission statement of the College of Education is excellent. I think the author has encompassed what teaching should be. Ideally, as a future teacher it is exciting for me to think about teaching in an environment of social justice and equality, whether that is a utopian ideal or not. In my personal opinion, teaching should be student- centered among other things.
