About Yours Truely

                 (cue James Bond music) The name is Daly, Stephen Daly. I have an Irish background so I am in love with potatoes, corned beef, whiskey, and a nice glass of Guinness. I also am a HUGE fan of Conan O'Brian so here is a clip of him when he went to the Guiness factory. Click here for an Irish overload I was born in Anaheim, Ca raised in north county San Diego until i went to Cal Poly which started my nomad-like movements which started in Garden Grove then to Pomona to Chino and now Phelan. My plan is to work my butt off and be able to move back to Oceanside within a month and a half.I started my education at Reynolds Elementary in Oceanside, followed by the moving up in the world to Martin Luther King Middle School also in Oceanside. Before eight grade started, I moved to Vista where my father and step-mother still live to this day and i attended Lincoln Middle School. For high school, I attended Vista High School where I got Involved in FFA and agriculture (huge turning point in my life). After graduating i went to a two-year called Mira Costa Community College in Oceanside for 5 1/2 years. I got an acceptance letter from Cal Poly Pomona where i eventually graduated with Agricultural Science degree an d now i am working on my teaching credential and Ag specialist and a masters in Agricultural Sciences.
              As far as computers go, I too, just as discussed in class are part of the i want to know the information right away bandwagon. I understand that students are on electronic devices just as much as they are on their feet. I like to think I am semi-fluent in computer talk and geeky stuff but there is so much to continuously learn each and every day. I have and Android phone that I use not for games but for applications like waze or Google Maps. 
            I am not in the Masters of Educational Multimedia but rather the program I am in allows for the flexibility of choosing masters classes to fit our area of interest. I would love to learn how to use some collaborative websites and programs to incorporate into a high school classroom of my own to grasp students interest and creativity.

  1. I went to the Guinness Brewery too! But I started at the top floor at the bar and worked my way down. Nice to meet you! Hope you get to move back to Oceanside soon.
