Hi everyone,My name is Jessica Pansegrau and this is my first quarter in the Educational Multimedia Masters program. For the past two years I attended Cal Poly to pursue a multiple subject teaching credential. In 2012, I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelors in Liberal Studies. Now I am living in Palm Springs, which is where I am originally from. At the moment I am subbing in the Coachella Valley. When I am not working or going to class, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and fiance, as well as hiking, reading, and photography.
On a scale of 1-10, I am a seven on the technology continuum. While student teaching, I always tried to incorporate technology within lessons and activities. Whether it was on my end creating powerpoints, using a document camera, or using websites--such as BrainPop and YouTube; or it was having students engaged in activities using iPads, laptops, or iClickers. With that being said, I love technology and look forward to using it with students when I have a class of my own.
Although I like to think of myself being tech savvy, there is so much that I am not familiar with or do not know when it comes to technology, such as designing websites, graphic design, or any of the adobes programs. So that is what am hoping to gain from the Educational Multimedia program. I want to learn about multimedia programs that I can incorporate into the classroom and curriculum. Plus it will be a great resume booster when looking for jobs in the future! :)
I'm very excited to start the program and look forward to getting to know everyone!
