#1 About Me

My name is Laura Roberts.




I am a junior at Ohio State University. I am majoring in Business Education. I have been married for two years. I also work at the Upper Arlington Library. I attended Eastland Career Center. I was enrolled in the Interactive Media Program. It was here that I began my website design and love for business education.

I like to develop websites because it is a way to show your artistic ability without picking up a paintbrush. Learning how to develop and design a website, or further my learning, will benefit me, when I go to show my future students. My hope one day is for me to go back to Eastland Career Center and teach the Interactive Media Program. So by knowing how to design websites, I will be able to show my students how to. Also if they can see some example work of mine, they will know that I can do it, and will want to learn more from me.

I use the internet on a daily basis. As a full time student I am constantly checking email and the carmen website. In my work at the Upper Arlington Library, I need to be able to access the internet for our website and look up book information as well as patron information. For my personal life, I love to browse the internet. It is a vast world of information. I love to learn new things.

I have created websites using html. I prefer to use html because it seems easier for me to grasp and understand. I have used the hardcoding method with the notepad. I have also used Dreamweaver and Frontpage. I have a myspace and facebook profiles.

This week, I posted on Janet and Peg's blogs.
