Norberto+Salazar's+Portfolio

= //**Introduction**// =

My name is Norberto Salazar and I am a computer science student at UCSD. I transferred to UCSD from Southwester Community College in Chula Vista in the Fall of 2007, and I am hoping to graduate in the Winter of this year. From a very young age, I was always interested in computers and technology. As I've grown older and learned more about computer science, I see how helpful computers are and what an integral role they play in our development as a civilization. As a computer science student, I have a unique perspective on computer software, and I am eager to see how it is utilized in an education environment.

Considering how fast technology develops, it takes a while for it to trickle down to people's everyday lives and provide some use. One of my goals is to gauge how much of our current technology is being applied to the field of education. Another goal is to gain first hand experience of online learning by participating in mentoring the students at High Tech High. From this experience, I hope to form a solid standpoint on whether or not online learning is an effective approach to teaching.
