Known throughout cyberspace and real life as "Frizzy," I am Karla Frizler Octavio, the instructor for this course. In 1996, I received my Master's degree in English (Teaching English as a Second Language) from San Francisco State University. Since then, I have worked for the California Community College system as an Instructional Designer, training other teachers to integrate technology into the classroom. My main technological interests include using the Internet for communication, collaboration and online publishing, and I particularly enjoy working with Internet neophytes.

Relevant (?) Background

Southern California suburbia is where I spent my formative years, raised by liberal parents in a very conservative area (Orange County). After finishing college (Chapman University), I moved to San Francisco and immediately felt like I belonged. Since moving to SF, I have worked in the music industry, completed a Master's degree and met and married my husband. Not bad for 10 years, eh? (You can see our wedding photos on our website: http://www.jps.net/robofriz)

Personal Interests

Travel is my passion, and I live in a perpeptual state of wanderlust, dreaming of my next trip. My main goal in life is to always have a plane ticket booked for *somewhere.* So far, I have traveled to England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and of course all over mainland United States. In the next few years, I hope to explore South America and Tahiti.

I also enjoy all kinds of music, from soul/r&b to rock to country to pop, and just about everything in between. Some of my favorite artists include Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Uncle Tupelo, Poi Dog Pondering, Booker T & the MGs, Van Halen (with David Lee Roth ONLY), Led Zepellin, Dwight Yoakam and the Dixie Chicks. Some might say I play guitar, but others just run screaming from the room when I bring out the old six-string. I'm currently taking hula lessons and belong to a halau (group) in San Francisco.
