Here is a little about my background:
After graduating from college and getting my teacher credential in Math, I started working for SBCC Continuing Education in the Fall of 1990. From 1990 to
1999, I worked the Office Skill Center Lab as both a lab
assistant and instructor. In Spring Quarter of 1992, I began teaching computer
courses. I am currently teaching both PC and MAC courses
ranging from beginner to advanced levels. Occasionally, I teach a course for
Santa Barbara City College credit division.
This Fall, I am teaching for the Center of Life Long
Learning - Windows 8 Overview. This
course is for those struggling with Windows 8 or just curious. I give tips and
tricks and methods for surviving the changes to Windows. Windows 8 is here to
stay, and new changes are on the way.
I also apply my computer skills to genealogy. I got hooked
on it when I went to Sweden in 2004 to visit Brattfors where my maternal
grandfather was born. Basically, I started researching more my family heritage.
Then next thing I knew, not only did I have my own research but I inherited
research done by many of my relatives. I a member of both the Santa
Barbara Genealogical Society and the Southern California
Genealogy Society in Burbank. I make a point of trying to attend SCGS Jamboree every
year and I listen to a number of genealogy podcasts with the hope of finding ways to
break down my “brick walls”.
For the last couple of years during the Spring, I have been
teaching Genealogy Goes Digital. In
this class, we explore ways to bring genealogy research into the computer age.
I look forward to posting my next blog.
