Assignment #1

Hello everyone my name is Scott Laslo and I am a Welding instructor at the Delaware area career center. I have been teaching now for two years and have found that it is a very rewarding profession. I have a four year old son and my wife and I are expecting our second child in September. (Yeah!!!) Oh no!!!! more STRESS!!!)
In regards to this class I hope to build a class website that will demonstrate what the students are learning, but also show the students that I have a human side as well. I would like to get my class involved as far as helping me with the content of the website. I will need some help with getting the site up and running, but should be pretty cool when finished.

Discuss the changes you notice in your understanding and skill with the technical resources and concepts we have used in class.

At the beginning of this class I was having a difficult time, as the quarter progressed I started to figure out that I did have a creative side. I have begun to realize, how this class has helped me take a more active role in promoting my current welding program. There are a lot of useful techniques that I can use to help generate interest for the welding industry and build a positive program hopefully for years to come.

#8 Discuss ideas you have for how you might use video production professionally.

I will be using video production to promote the welding and sheet metal layout program at the Delaware area career center. I have enjoyed finding welding clips and editing them to make an appealing video that shows the possibilities in the welding industry.
