Before , my major was family and school setting with a concentration with K-6 certification. I switched my major because I know I want to work with children and families but not in a school setting. I feel like family services is more for me.

All the topics seem very interesting. I can not wait to learn about them all. The topics that really caught my attention was job interview techniques and are you planning on attending graduate school. These topics are very important life skills that will help me and other prepare for our future/careers.
7. What do you think about wikis - or what you learned from the video
  I really enjoy using wikis and I find it easy and simple to use. I used wiki before for one of my other classes. I enjoyed the video. I loved how he provide a situation how it can be used and so three simple words to describe wiki edit, write, save. I believe that wiki is a good college website that can be used especially with group projects. This way everyone has the update information and communicate easy, since everyone's schedule is so hectic.
