In our course goals and objectives, it mentions that we will become skilled in the use of many digital tools that can be used in the work place. As part of my job, I do Anti-bullying presentations in the schools. I saw that we are supposed to post a video to our blog as part of our assignment for the week. I found this cool video that I think will be really motivating to kids. Now that I have uploaded it to this blog, I am going to try to imbed this into the power point presentation that I normally do. I hope that it will inspire kids and send the message of non-violence and anti-bullying. I didn't know that I was capable of uploading a video until I tried it. It was not that difficult and I think it will really add something special to one of my work presentations. The video even contains links to other websites about bullying prevention.

First Post for EDTF 300-02
My name is Beth Birch. I am a Sociology major and I am a Junior here at Lock Haven.
I chose this major because I am currently employed as a Victim Advocate. I work every day with crime victims and I see the role that society and social order plays in crime victimization. Sociology explores the substance behind many of things I see daily so it is very applicable to my career choice.
I would say that my comfort level with technology is at a low-medium level. I am very familiar with office applications but I am less familiar with internet technology and social media.
I have taken a number of on-line courses and I really like them. Because I commute from about 6o miles away, I try to take as many on-line courses as possible to save both time and money.
One interesting fact about me is that I work a full time and a part time job. Because of this I have to schedule my classes around my work and it is taking me a long, long time to graduate. Here is a link to the website for my work place. www.abusenetwork.org
Another interesting fact about me is that in 2010 I went to see Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago. It was a 12 hour concert with some of the most legendary guitarists in the world. Here is a picture of me with one of my kids right before we went to the show. See how happy I am!
