WELCOME! //The purpose of this site is instructional. Students participating in EDU290 are required to create an informational site that highlights their accomplishments achieved within the course.//

//**Who I Am**//: My name is Mr. Jason Ostrander. I am from the small town of Breckenridge, MI. I graduated in 1992 from Breckenridge Jr./Sr. high School, and went on to attend CMU the following Fall. Coming from a small community I learned early that hard work and a great enthusiasm will allow you to rise out of a "limited" future. I also take great pride in the fact that I understand a great deal about the world around me even though I have never lived no more than 50 miles from where I grew up. I am very technologically literate in many forms of informational systems and media. I like to make people smile, and love when they make me smile. And no one makes me smile more than someone who enjoys the use of technology as much as I do.

//**What My Time Here at CMU Means to Me**//: I am attending CMU in order to gain a BSof E.D. degree in Elementary Education. After graduation I plan to teach in an elementary school (hopefully 6th grade). The skills and information that I learn here during my time at CMU will allow me to not only become a success after graduation, but will also provide me with the means to become a leader in my field of study.

//**My Outlook on the Future**//: It is my goal to get married, have two kids (a boy and a girl), and secure my masters within the first three years in my new teaching position. Another goal is to be a successful elementary teacher. I continue to enjoy my experience as a TEPD instructor at CMU. This position has taught me that I do have skills that are both valuable and practical for new emerging teachers in the field of education.

CMU, an AA/EO institution, strongly and actively strives to increase diversity within its community (see www.cmich.edu/Affirmative_Action_Office.htm).
