Hi! My name is Tia Brenning, and I am in the Business Education Licensure Program at OSU. I have a Marketing Undergraduate Degree from Tennessee Tech University. I have decided to go back to school to receive a licensure and masters degree to teach Business Ed classes on the high school level. Some other things that have influenced my decision to go back to school, are helping out high school softball and volleyball program in my home town of Urbana, Oh.

I am very excited about using web design in this class, and in my future classroom. I have already created my own website for a Marketing Research class I took in my undergrad. We learned a lot of interesting techniques and tools to enhance a website. I am really looking forward to allowing my students to use their imaginations by setting up their personal websites. In my personal life I use the internet for emailing, for my classes, to stay connected with friends and professors, and classmates. I talk to friends and family through instant messenger quite a bit in my spare time. In my professional life I do a lot of substitute teaching, and I am required to search for open positions as they are posted online. I also plan to make my own website in order to keep students, parents, administrators, and other teachers informed about what is going on in my class. I will post homework, projects, and other outlines about the class.

I have used javascript and html while creating my first website in my marketing class. I am by no means an expert in any of these areas. We did our webpage development in Geocities, which is on the Yahoo hompage. I plan to use this course as a refresher class to further develop my webpage developing skills. Once, I can master these areas, I will be able to better serve, and assist my students.

My website is full of Marketing links, and information about me. I haven't updated the site in awhile, and it is full of requirements specified by our instructor. I am very excited to create a brand new website that I will be able to use in my future class.
