Hello everyone! My name is Frankie Medina. I am a graduating senior in my fourth semester at CSUN. My major is English Literature. I am not exactly sure how I came to choose this major but I am quite happy I did. I have been exposed to a myriad of inetresting literatures I am certain I would not have come across had I not been a literature major. Perhaps I should tell you how I came to choose Bias as the title of my blog; it was something my mom once said to me. "You have an opinion about everything" she told me. I think she may be right. I don't know if it is because I like to talk or because I enquire how dedicated one is to their own biases, but I enjoy debate, or even simple conversation on interesting topics. I will be the first to admit I am almost always completely wrong or talking about something I have no idea about, but I will most ceratinly keep the words comin' in anticipation of what I will hear.

Now, for this thing called 'media technology'? What exactly are we talking about? Am I to suppose media technology deals with any kind of streaming video, television, dvd? If so then perhaps I believe it may be quite useful in teaching. I say this recalling how one learns as a small child. For example, if one was to teach a small child the word brush he or she would say "brush" while holding or pointing to a brush. Secondly, if one, at any age, was learning of a new bacteria and its affects, or a new species of animal, it is useful to see pictures or videos of theses things. Considering these two examples I feel it is very useful to have some sort of visual aid during the learning process.

Please let me know if I am wrong. I hope you all, or at least those of you who read it, enjoy my blog and its following entires. I will look forward to your posts and replies to my own.
