Hello H531 Computers in Education classmates


My name is Chris Woodard. I was born in California and received an AS degree from Butte College & a BS degree from California State University Chico. Work brought me and my family to Indiana a few years ago. Now we consider it home, and even though I have had offers to leave my wife and I like it too much.

My wife and I enjoy traveling when we get the chance. I have made it to 49 states while my wife is at 48. She has informed me that I can take a trip to Alaska once I take her to Delaware and Vermont.  Yes, we have Vermont planned this summer.

I work full time as a Quality Manger and during my career I have held positions in Quality and Process Engineering as well as Manufacturing Management. I am currently enrolled in the MS in Technology program with an expected graduation date of Spring 2015.

My future goal is to teach at the community college level in Industrial Technology/Engineering. During college I had the opportunity to develop course work and teach a class on manufacturing and the consumer.  Since that time I have always had the desire to get back into the education field.  I see this course helping me to fulfill this goal by understanding more about current use of computers in the education system in the United States.
