Hello, everyone, happy new year. My name is Sandra Schofield, I have a bachelor degree in Liberal Arts, and Masters in Education. I'm working on an online certificate. I also work in the computer lab in the College of Education. I am not school teacher in any school district, but I do mentor adults, in an attempt to help them make life style changes. It is my hope that this class will help the organization I work with use technology more effectively. I also want to learn about all the different tools available.
I like to sing and there is nothing more inspirational than a good music, and powerful songs. My favorite songs is "Hero" by Mariah Carey. You hardly hear it now. It's has some powerful words. I also like reading and sewing. In my lifetime I have seen sewing machines come a long way through technology. I really like is a good mystery. Sherlock Holmes is my favorite detective of all times and I have seen that character take on many forms over the years. My favorite TV detective is Colombo. A smart detective that does not appear to be a very smart and seems to read people very well.
Best of all I love being with my grandchildren. My two older sons children are all grown, and my youngest son lives in N Dakota and I don't get to see the often. But my daughter got married about four years ago and she has two boys about 18 months apart and I get to see them all the time and they are the joy of my life. Grandparents sometimes forget how busy two and three year old boys or girls can be.As a grandparent it is nice to watch them and see the differences and how much they both are alike too. Neither of my grandsons attend school yet. I hope that this class will give me some ideas that may help my grand-boys become independent learners.
Hi Sandra. I’m so jealous of people who can sing. I love music but I can’t carry a tune if my life depended on it. Sherlock Holmes is one of my favorite literary characters. I’m assuming you watch the television series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman? I haven’t seen the latest episode from Sunday but I watched the first episode from this season and I’m distraught to say the least. Cumberbatch and Freeman’s take on the characters is one of my favorites though.
ReplyDeleteTwo boys 18 months apart! I’m sure they’re keeping your daughter busy! My sister and I are five years apart and are pretty close but it’ll be nice when your grandkids are older- they’ll always have someone to talk to and do stuff with. Are your grandkids already getting into technology? My younger cousins were playing with iPhones and iPads before they could walk it seemed. It’s amazing how fast they pick up on the skills. I’m still on the fence to whether all the “tech time” is good for younger children. My dad brought me up on computers from an early age which helped me tremendously in school and even now. I think that’s why I have such a strong interest in technology. But it just seems like children are becoming SO dependent on devices. It’s a hard thing to balance.
Hi Sandra. I too am jealous that you can sing. I have five kids who are all two years apart and I can tell you from experience that it is not too easy. I wish your daughter and you the best of luck this year.
ReplyDeleteWelcome! I have to admit, I have little time and patience for TV, but I did get sucked into the Sherlock series (per Sabrina's comment).
