Opps. Should have read ALL the directions before I pulled the trigger. My name is Matt Wettstein. I am married to my college sweetheart. We have three sons: 10 years old, 7 years old and a 5 month old. Our 5 month old has Down Syndrome so we are spending a lot of time educating ourselves on the various medical/cognitive differences that he may face. I graduated college with my undergraduate degree in 2008. I had another career before teaching, that career was in shipping/receiving. I enjoy working with my hands. I like to take things apart although I cannot always guarantee I will be able to put them back together. One of the reasons I am interested in this field is because I love technology and I see a great potential benefit to using technology in the classroom. Technology allows people to collaborate much more readily from one point to another. It also allows students to see, in real time, what goes on around the world. I am excited and a little apprehensive about my first year at WSU. Have a great night.

    Looks like you are one of few men in our class. I enjoyed reading your posts and I admire the work that you do with your son, I know that it is not always easy but they are special children, their innocence is amazing. At any rate I look forward to more discussions during the course of our class.
