Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a third grade teacher and have been teaching for 7 years. I am currently a graduate student at Full Sail University. I am working toward my Master of Science Degree in Education Media Design and Technology. I am in month four of an eleven month journey. I was a bit worried about taking an all online program. I was concerned that it wouldn't have the "social" component of traditional face to face programs. As it turns out, I was wrong. Even though my classmates are scattered far and wide, we do communicate frequently. I love meeting new people. I also like that there are people from various backgrounds in the program. While doing my undergraduate work, it often got boring having only elementary education majors to talk to day in and day out. I like getting the unique perspectives from those that are not in K-12 education.
So far I have learned so much in this program! I am creating this blog for my Emergent Technologies In A Collaborative Culture class. I am excited to begin a new month and look forward to learning even more and getting to know my classmates better.
Hi Carrie!
ReplyDeleteI used to teach 2nd and 5th grade for 4 years. I loved being in the classroom, however I also like creating training materials for adults. I also like to see what the other side of the spectrum are doing towards teaching an audience. I am excited for you that your 3rd graders will be learning a through a completely different medium than the typical classroom education that was built for teachers to teach. Good luck with learning these new tools to teach in a new interactive and inventive light, as your students will learn on a very new facet.
Thanks for adding me on your blog.
Thanks,
Erin
