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!
