Week 1

Hello, My name is Misty Bennett. This is my second semester at Brandman University. I have an AS in child development and I am currently working on obtaining my Bachelors Degree in Liberal Studies. My future goal is to have the credentials I need to someday teach kindergarten.

I am a preschool teacher now, which I truly love. I enjoy going to work everyday and have a sincere passion for the child development field. I don't plan on teaching kindergarten for several years because I would miss preschool too much.

I would like to research the importance of preschool and how it contributes to a successful education. In addition, I would like to know the difference between preschool and transitional kindergarten, including curriculum and teacher's credentials.

I definitely would like to learn how to identify credible and non-credible information online. Technology and research are important tools, but knowing which ones are trustworthy is crucial.

Enjoy your week! Good luck in the class.
