 I did a little bit of preliminary research on a couple of other schools. For me, I chose the iSchool because of the ability to complete the programming online, as well as part-time while I continued to work full-time. I was able to take about two classes per semester, which fit in with my busy schedule. And for me, it was very important to continue working while getting my degree. I was really impressed with the different professors that were available. I think one benefit of the online program is that you could learn from people all over the country that had a lot of different expertise and passion for their different fields. I think I had professors from Colorado, Washington State, Michigan, and of course, California as well. I definitely felt like the programming and the different tools that were available to us were best in class as far as Canvas and Google Documents and the iSchool has a one-unit class for first semester students. I think it's called Strategies for Online Learning, Info 203, to really make sure that you feel comfortable with all of the different tools and technologies you need to be successful being a student online. I've been working in the technology industry for the past 13 years. I feel like working in the technology industry has unlocked a lot of different opportunities for me. I'd love to transition to working in a public or academic library specifically in technology services, working with either young adults or adults. And I was very, very lucky in that the company I work for did pay for one of my classes that applied to my current job. It was an applied research methods course that helps with different evaluation methods for different types of programming and services. And since I do technology trainings at my current job, I learned a lot that I could apply immediately even before moving into the field.
