My name is Chris Evans and I was born in San Diego at Kaiser hospital. I grew up in North San Diego County in Carlsbad and Vista. I graduated from Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, from there I went on to San Diego State and graduated with a degree in Philosophy. I'm currently studying for my single subject credential in social science where I hope to become a high school teacher.

My overall technical experience is not very deep. I 'm familiar with PC's and have very little experience working with Macs, however I'm excited about this opportunity to work with one. I have heard nothing but good things about the Mac, especially concerning its immunity to viruses. I'm looking forward to utilizing the power of the Mac.

The mission statement is a statement of commitment both to the student and to the educator. The University's goal to adequately prepare the teacher with the right set of tools such as reflective teaching ultimately enables the teacher to become directly involved with the students education. The teacher is no longer confined to simple lectures but is able to interact with students in a hands-on manner such as computer work shops. This allows the student to develop practical as well as intellectual skills. They key to the mission statement is the fact that it is student-centered and removes the importance away from the teacher and places it on the student. This shift in attitude allows the student to become the focal point of the educational experience and flourish unfettered by stifling demagogary.
