About Mr. Walter Shu

Hello everybody, my name is Walter Shu and I am entering my sixth year at Cal Poly Pomona, third year in Educational Multimedia. I am a resident of Pasadena, CA.

I graduated from Pasadena High School in 2000, received my Associate’s degree from Pasadena City College in 2003 and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Cal State Los Angeles in 2006.

I have been attending Cal Poly Pomona since 2009. Initially, I was in the Teacher Credential program and working to be a high school history teacher. However, I changed my program over to Educational Multimedia in winter 2013, after taking fall 2012 off.

I am currently looking for a job where I work with people who have autism.

Some of the hobbies I enjoy include: repairing computers and cars, playing video games, writing fan fiction, and researching the history of Southern California (I even have a blog about this subject).

I am a big sports fan and I would to see the NFL return to L.A. very soon. I am also a fan of the biggest franchises such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and The Twilight Saga.

I am very much into computers and technology for most of my life and I have seen technology change a lot over the decades. Back then, when I was young, computers were not as powerful or versatile as it is now, and there was no internet until the early 1990’s. Today, almost everybody has a computer and access to the internet and that all the homework assignments now has to be done and submitted by computer instead of by hand.

My goals in the Educational Multimedia program are to study how educational technology evolve over the years, be able to create applications for students who has autism and to improve access to technology for all students of all backgrounds.
