Hello All,
My
name is Christopher Thompson. This is my first time writing in the blogging
world. Although I have not ever written a blog, I have read those of others.
The areas in which I read most of these blogs are in sports, business, and
world events. I look forward to being able to contribute my own stories to this
atmosphere.
The
purpose of my blog will be mainly to provide weekly discussion and insight into
what I have learned in the corresponding week in ADED 1P32 Learning in Digital
Contexts. Along with these discussions and insights, I will also be answering
specified questions that are outlined by my instructor to be included in my
blog post. Finally, and most importantly, the main purpose of my blog is for
you to read and enjoy it!
Why ADED 1P32…
The
reason why I took this course is because I heard it is a great introduction
into the online learning atmosphere, and provides you with many new ways to
communicate in the digital world. A large factor that has spurred me into learning
more about the digital world is the way things are being done in today’s world.
Technology continues to advance on a daily basis and those who are not keeping
up with it tend to fall behind. I hope to learn about these new techniques over
the next twelve weeks of this course and continue this learning there after.
A little bit more about me…
I
am currently in my fourth year of schooling at Brock University. I am majoring
in Business Administration, concentrating in Finance, taking part in the co-op
program. Going into Brock, I wasn’t sure what area of the Business program was
right for me. After my first few years of school, I found that my strong
passion for numbers and investments could be best pursued in the Finance
stream.
With
my program offering a co-op option, I have been given the opportunity to work
for RBC for my three applicable work terms. This has been great for my as it is
right inline with the work I hope to be doing post graduation. I have held
different positions in all three of these work terms and I am actually
currently pursuing my final work term during this semester (January to April).
With this past work experience I hope to graduate from Brock and hit the ground
running in this banking industry.
Aside from school and work, I enjoy playing and watching almost
every kind of sport. With having two other brothers (one older and one younger),
I have been brought up with a very competitive nature. There is hardly a time
we pass up an opportunity to get involved in any sporting event.
My favorite of
these sports however is hockey. With being a Toronto resident, my passion
resides strongly with the Toronto Maple Leafs. I have grown up watching and
playing the sport my entire life and love every opportunity I get to either
watch or play the game.
I look forward to sharing my posts with
you over the time to come.
Take care,
Chris
