How does a sophomore History and Economics major become the student
supervisor for Gtech, the technical support group for students at Gettysburg College? Rachel Fry ’
15 has done exactly that. When she was asked about her appointment to the post by Chris Marsh,
Computer Support Specialist I, Rachel replies, “During my high school years, I was the Go-To-Geek for
my family and friends. I really enjoyed figuring out problems and getting their computers to work again.
” Rachel attended Central High School in Martinsburg, PA. She also assisted her parents in their
power equipment business. During that time she ran several advertising campaigns for the business. Further explaining her mix of liberal arts and computing technology, Rachel noted that she has always
enjoyed learning about other cultures and sees History as a logical choice of a major. Her business
experience led to the choice of Economics as a second major. She is ultimately interested in pursuing a
career in advertising and sales. Her experience with Gtech is causing her to give serious consideration to
honing that career choice to include computing.

Moodle sites can organize content weekly or by topics. The Weekly format works well if you present
information and activities each week and like to structure your site to match your syllabus. The Topic
format works well when you have only a few items or prefer to organize your content by type or by topic.
The Folder format is new to Moodle 2 -- it’s basically a Topic format, but with a folder icon that
lets you collapse or expand the items and activities within. Give it a try - if you don’t like it,
you can switch back to regular Topic format. To change the format of your course, go to the Settings block - usually on the left side of your screen - and click on Edit Settings (which is towards the top of the list of settings). Be sure to add or subtract more weeks or topic areas if you need them - that setting is also found there.
