Jenns Introduction

         Hi everyone my name is Jennifer Hale.  I was born in Poway and moved to Murrieta when I was 2 years old.  I lived in Murrieta for my whole life and just moved to Oceanside last month and so far love everything about it :)  I went to Rail Ranch Elementary school K-5.  I went to Thompson middle school 6-8, and Murrieta Valley high school 9-12 grade.  Right after high school I went to Palomar college for a year and then realized the drive was too much and went to a local college, Mt. San Jacinto college for another 2 years.  Then I finished all of my general ed at Mira Costa so I have definitely been to enough community college and glad to be at csusm.
        When it comes to technology I am a little behind.  I can't seem to keep up with the world and all the new gadgets coming out, but I am trying to get there.  I try to keep it as simple as possible and have just the basics for my cell phone, computer, and any other electronics.  Technology makes things a lot easier if you know how to work them, but it can make it a lot harder if you don't know what you are doing.  I really like the whole computer thing I am still a little old fashion so slowly but surely getting more involved on the computer.  The computer is very helpful and makes my life much easier.
        Honestly I did not read the mission statement before applying to San Marcos.  I have always wanted to go to San Marcos for several reason and I have heard nothing but great things about their teaching program.  CSUSM has a great mission statement!  I love the fact that life long learners is in there because as a teacher you need to keep your education fresh and updated and should always provide your students with the best.  As a teacher it needs to be all about the students and based on their needs and what best fits them.  Another thing in CSUSM mission statement that I found important is collaboration.  It is very important to collaborate  with fellow co-workers and your students.  To collaborate with each other is the best teaching/learning style.  I look forward to the next three years at CSUSM and i am excited for whats to come:)
