Who I am

Wouldn't be much of a blog without an introduction, right? My name is Ryan, and I'm a 22 year old senior at Salem State University studying for a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology, the study of cognition and behavior. I'm not actually from Massachusetts. My childhood was spent in Pennsylvania. I came to Massachusetts by myself for school back in 2011. The only pre-educational experience I possess is my work with developmentally disabled adults at a day habitation facility. Our specific workshop in the facility is designed like a classroom setting with activities planned beforehand based around educational skills such as learning math skills, basic reading skills and sensory learning. 

Just a forewarning. This semester, along with this blog and another blog these two will be the first blogs I've ever created. I'm looking forward to learning more about creating effective blogs to help me in the future. While this blog is mostly a product of my EDU100 class, I'm hoping to learn more about the connections between psychology, education, classroom settings and learning in the process. Here is a link related to the subject of education and psychology.
