I believe I will be able to use page layouts and newletters in a variety of ways in my profession. I love the idea of using the different templates in page layouts to develop many worksheets and projects I will use in my classroom. I will also allow my students to use page layouts to complete projects for my class and other classes as well. My students will be asked to submit entries into the Business Professionals of America contest, and will be able to use page layouts in a variety of ways for that contest. I will also assign a newsletter to be completed for credit in my class.

There are also things I can do for my profession using newsletters and page layouts. I plan on creating a newsletter for my class as well. My class newsletter will inform not only students on upcoming events and projects, but parents also. I hope to eventually become an advisor in Business Professionals of America, and I will use a lot newsletters, and page layouts to stay up to date.

I believe image editing will play a big part in my professional career. I will have my students work with their own pictures to try and create something new. I will ask my students to use their imaginations, and tell them that the "sky is the limit," so to speak. I believe my students will be able to take what we learn in class, and apply it to their personal activities and future endevors.

I will also be able to incorporate image editing into my professional career by, adding it to my powerpoint presentations. I intend to use image editing in a variety of other ways as well. For instance, I want to be able to adjust some pictures, and the different forms we might use in class. I also plan on having a contest to see the best image from all of my classes. I can't wait to see what my students will be able to come up with. I have seen some very interesting work done by the students at Eastland Career Center, where I observe on Tuesday/Thursdays. I think it is very important to allow students to think outside of the box when using images. I believe Photoshop will be my favorite subject to teach.

I not only think that image editing will play a huge role in my professional career, but I also think it will help me to create and edit my personal images.

So far my experiences with Photoshop have been good and bad. I have had some difficulty editing images in Photoshop. I feel that my biggest challenge is getting the images to look as if they belong into the scene. However, I really enjoy exploring, and finding different tools in Photoshop to assist in creating an image that reflects what's in my mind.
I try to think about the assignment, and picture the photos from my collection. From there, I try to tweak a scene in my head, and think about how they might work well together. I enjoy sports, and hanging out with friends and family, so any images where I can enhance those pictures inspires me. I also love trying to enhance different pictures of landscapes. I would love to be able to work on videos, and try to edit them. I know we have a project with that at the end of the quarter, and I would love to find out as much as I can about how that works. I think video editing would make a great topic to teach when I start teaching.

Hello My Name is Tia Brenning

I am a Business Education major working towards my masters. I already have a degree in Business Marketing from Tennessee Technological University. I have decided to go back to school to earn a degree in Education, to teach students in a business setting. I enjoy surfing the Internet, and working with computers. My ideal subject to teach, would be the Microsoft Office Programs, and creating websites.



I have lived in the state of Tennessee for a total of 5 and 1/2 years. During this time I became a Country Music Enthusiast.

Some of my favorite Country Music artists are: Gary Allen, George Strait, Brooks and Dunn, Brad Paisley, Montgomery Gentry, and Dierks Bentley.


I am die-hard MICHIGAN FOOTBALL fan! Even though, Michigan should have been in the National Championship game.....I'm very happy from the events of Monday January 8th 2007. Aren't you???

I also enjoy playing athletics such as volleyball, softball, soccer, and swimming. I am a very competitive person, and I love to win.

I like reading novels in my spare time, and exercising about 3 or 4 times a week.

I plan on receiving my masters degree in the winter of 2008! I hope to get a Business Education job, and a coaching job in the fall of 2008.

I believe that I will enjoy teaching business classes, and staying up to date with the current trends in the business world.

Have a NICE DAY! GO MICHIGAN!
