Mary Brunner's Homepage

About Me

Welcome to my Homepage.
My name is Mary L. Brunner and I am a teacher at Withlacoochee Technical Institute. I teach high school and post-secondary students. I teach the accounting program (both manual and computerized) along with many other of the most popular software programs.

I am originally from Northwest Illinois and graduated from Western Illinois University. Computers as we know them today were nonexistent when I went to college. Originally I had to learn how to use computers in 1980 when training was not available. Currently, I am still learning on my own as I keep up to date with the newest software available.

I love to quilt, sew, knit , and refinish antiques. Computers and cats are my addiction.

About My Classroom

I teach the following software programs: Excel for Office 97, Microsoft Word for Office 97, Access for Office 97, PowerPoint for Office 97, WordPerfect 7, Peachtree Complete for Windows 95, QuickBooks, and Windows 95. I am very interested in meeting with other teachers who are interested in these topics.

About Where I Live

It is very rural in Citrus County. Traffic jams only occur during "snow bird" season. There are very few Florida Crackers living here. It is a great place to live. We do have two searsons here--hot and hotter. We are within easy travel distance to Gainesville, Orlando, and Tampa.

Other Stuff

Search engines are a great way to find useful information on the Web. One of my favorites is Education World.
