My Journey
My journey begins before the third ISU cohort and this section sets the stage for what was to
come as I entered the M.Ed. program to continue my journey as an educator. The included pdf is not an artifact of the program,
but rather a summary of what had occurred up to this point.
This stage of the journey explores the issues that are sometimes more difficult to define when
using technology but can be easier to demonstrate or witness. These best practices are many times guides along that way that
are both helpful and necessary.
The first major guidepost in this journey was a dabble in WebCT design, a very powerful and innovative
technological tool that has serious implications for learning.
Not to be outdone by WebCT, my next challenge was to use open-source Moodle to design a course
I actually teach every year at my school. This is another effective (and on-going) technology tool that required a lot
of designing and continuous planning as I try to improve it.
Action research in its purest form, and a project that I actually improved upon as I took an educational
leadership course at another university. This project continues to evolve as I strive to improve daily the learning environment
in my classes.
Taking my skills to the streets and sharing what I've learned with colleagues, both in school
and in area. My journey has moved onto a bigger road with more places to explore and understand, and the road seems to stretch
out before me as far as I can see.
The journey doesn't end now that I have completed the required classes. In fact in many cases,
my journey is now just beginning as I look to implement my knowledge and new expertise to improve the people and places in
my own community and beyond.
