ABOUT ME

Hello!


My name is Keith and I am a first year student at Miami University. I am majoring in Cybersecurity and this is the first IT class I've taken. I've worked at Miami University for 22 years and want to work with Veteran Affairs after I retire from Miami. It has been an adjustment returning to school after more than 30 years but it is an exciting journey. Although I waited so long to take courses I believe it's never too late to start. I've met so many great people that work at Miami over my years here. I'm proud to be both an employee and a student and look forward to a new chapter with the skills I am learning. In my free time I like to get out on my motorcycle and explore. Below is a picture I took last year while travelling in Tennessee.

THINGS I'M LEARNING IN CIT 168

In CIT 168:


I am becoming familiar with working at a keyboard. I have had limited exposure to computers since I didn't grow up around current technology (that means I'm old). So everything we are learning is a new experince for me. Learning how the components of a computer system transfer data was one of our first lessons. We've covered an introduction to working in Linux after starting an instance in AWS. Connecting a terminal and working from a command prompt line was something that was different. Since the mid 90s anytime I turned on a computer it always automatically boots up to the Windows operating system. So working from a command prompt took me back to my days of working in MS DOS when I was in the Navy in the early 90s. We learned how to create a google sites student portfolio. Check out the link below to see some examples of things I've posted on my site. Currently we are learning how to create a web page and this is exciting. Before this class I just opened a web brower on my phone and went to a page. Now I consider how that page was created and am looking forward to learning tools so I can create my own pages.
