Summer classes! Well, here is a new experience for the old student :) Summer school was something that I thought that you 'had' to do with failing grades, not something that you choose to pay $1,000.00 for the experience! But here I am, working through Ed Tech and Design and learning how to incorporate technology into the classroom as a future teacher. Every day, Monday through Friday, 9am through noon. Pretty intensive packing of a full semester class into 4 short (feels long) weeks!
Still, a busy class and nice to do as a stand-alone to get out of the way.
Finals week was accomplished with little stress - no real 'finals' per se, just papers and an oral. Although the Teacher Work Sample did take over my life and I am still reeling from the hours that I put into producing that puppy! That was probably the most time consuming piece of work that I have ever done; and I am pretty proud of that 100% grade!
We are still awaiting final grades....cross fingers I have maintained my 4.0....it gets harder every semester!
I know that I have let this blog slide and to my secret followers, I apologize (I know that you are out there, even if only 3 of you actually have it recorded on my page!!), but hopefully a complete immersion in technology over the next 4 weeks will keep the incentive to keep everyone up to date alive! Another new goal for me, to keep the blog alive!
Life is still good. Still living the dream! Next semester, more hours, tougher course load, but no work - so poor financially, rich in time to get my work done! I do have a very part-time job with the Performing Arts Center though, helping to reach out to local schools to assist in extension lessons when they attend performances at UNI. That should be fun - and I can't wait!
Off to work on my Thematic Unit now - catch you later!
