Hi, my name is Amanda Martinez and I will be a senior at Arizona State University this fall. I’m taking this class because it fulfills a requirement for my major of English Literature. I’m taking this particular class over another that fulfills the same requirements, because I prefer American literature to British Literature, which was my other option. From this class I would like to learn about the different authors that fall within the particular time periods we will be studying. I also want to learn how to use technologies I am unfamiliar with, such as Timerime and Wetpaint Wiki because I believe it is a huge advantage to be well rounded with technology. Along with the authors, I expect to learn a lot about the various literary periods of American literature pre-1860. I’m vaguely familiar with those listed on the website, but expect to learn much more in depth regarding the different periods.

I am currently a senior at Arizona State University in the College of Education. I am majoring in Secondary Education with a content specialization of English. I believe that once I graduate I would like to find a job teaching at the high school level.
I am taking this course because it is required for my major. I am required to complete 37 core English classes and this is one of the listed requirements on my graduation check sheet. I chose to take this particular course so that I would be available to complete my upper division courses during the regular semester. As for why I chose to take an online class that happened because since I have a young son that has to be picked up from daycare at a specified time. Since I am forced to work my class schedule around my son I have found that during the summer semesters online classes is the best choice for me.
The only expectation that I have about this course is to cover some interesting material that I normally would not know about. I excited about the way this course is set up since it will give me a personal viewpoint on the advantages as well as the disadvantages of incorporating technology when I have my own classroom to teach. While I have learned about many of the sites we will be utilizing in the course I have not yet taken a course where technology is so heavily incorporated so I think that it will be an interesting experience for me.
