2. Who am I? I am a 24 year old female Originally from North Carolina I am currently employed with Quest Diagnostics as a phlebotomist. Recently switched from active duty to reserve status in the United States Navy I am also a full time student at Germanna along side working full time.
3. My Interests… I love to learn , I have always felt that you can never know too much, so if an opportunity presents itself where I can leave a situation knowing more than when I entered it, I am all for it. I love computers and CAD software. I enjoy drawing and painting as well. I enjoy spending time with my love ones when time permits it.
4. My Interest contin… I love listening to music as well. Viewing scenic environments and traveling also are things that interest me.
5. Plans for the future.. I plan to continue my education and become a heart surgeon. I still have a lot of schooling to take care of but I am determined to succeed and fulfill my dreams. I want to have my own practice and save as many lives as possible.
6. Year in the IT program.. This is my first official IT program I have taken. I am an Operation Specialist in the Navy as well so I understand some things dealing with the field.
7. My IT Interest.. I have found IT to be a very interesting field. I learned how to build a computer at the age of 7 and have loved computers ever since. I also love AutoCAD, I took Drafting for 3 years so I became very familiar with CAD and love it. My job in the Navy deals with more of the security part of IT. I also work with video/ audio streaming and archiving at church which is fun.
8. The Internet I am pretty familiar with the web I am confident in surfing it to obtain whatever it is I am looking for as well as editing web pages and creating custom layout designs for different web sites to best fit its purpose.
9. Team work I am all for team work . I feel as if we can help each other to achieve a goal then its “ ONE TEAM, ONE FIGHT!” I find team work to be helpful especially with presentations , because some people love to present.
10. Technical skills I do not have much experience in this field. I guess you could call me a beginner. I know how to trouble shoot small things when dealing with computers and most of it I gained knowledge from having someone else troubleshoot me through the problem I was having at the time.
11. Software/ Hardware I know a few things about hardware such as the installing cooling fans, motherboards, disc drives and such. Software is not as much. I know different animation software. As well as Office software. I also would like to learn more about different softwares, JAVA scripts, and more of the technical side of computers.
12. Presentation preparation. I try to find different ways to obtain and keep peoples attention during a presentation I find that it can become a difficult task at time tho.
13. Presentation delivery Wow, now when it comes to delivery, I must be honest, I am not a huge fan of this part. I am ok with doing the project but presenting in front of people, I would rather skip, but when it is necessary I will suck it up and present to the best of my ability.
14. Presentation tools When it comes to using computers to present something, I don’t know much about it. I know how to use power point, a projector and CS4 to animate some of the presentation but that is about it. I am in the process of trying to learn how to edit movies and so that audio is consistent with the mouth movements after dividing into chapters for a DVD.
15. Presentation tools contin.. I am familiar with using a different tools in the production process as far as using a video switcher while filming and streaming live across the internet and recording to a DVD for further copying at the same time. I am also familiar with CV software that allows you to add text, pictures, and commercials to a live streaming video to enhance a presentation.
16. Learning techniques I have that when it comes to computers I am more of a hands on type learner. I find it much easier to understand if I am able to try it myself. I also seem to retain it much better that way unlike with other things or subjects, so I am hoping that this class will help with everything being online work anyway.
17. Wrapping it up… I know a little bit about online presentations, archiving, web design/creation and the various software/ hardware that assist with the process. I hope to gain more knowledge by taking this course and I am really looking forward to it.
