Good day class of LBSU 302.
   As you can tell from my Blog my name is Dan Highfill and like the rest of you I'm currently enrolled at Brandman University pursuing my degree in Information Technology and then heading towards a Master's in Organizational Leadership. I have been attending Brandman off and on for the past 6 years when I was on shore duty in the United States Navy. My current career aspirations is to advanced in my current job which is a field service engineer at Intel and then when I finish my degree in Organizational Leadership hopefully get something more in management. Beyond that I'm a father of 2 daughters, 8 year old Sophia and 4 year old Zoey  and my son Lucas who is 2.

   When it comes to the ACRL information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education and how to become a more educated in the use of information that is available to us through all the information channels is essential to not only our education but being able to make informed decisions at work and home. As the ACRL states "by helping them construct a framework for learning how to learn, colleges and universities provide the foundation for continued growth throughout their careers, as well as in their roles as informed citizens and members of communities." Its a important fact to not only our education process and research but becoming a part of society and making informed decisions with the best information available to us. I almost feel this is a course that should be taught more in high school due to the part where it says becoming informed citizens and members of communities, this is something as we go beyond high school become part of and now at the age of 29 I'm taking this course. I feel as an individual I look into information that is given to me to make the best decision possible and even going beyond that to do my own research from credited sources that aren't TMZ and Seventeen magazine. That may have been a slight poke at my wife from when I first met her but she has gotten better since meeting me.
