Digital Class Complete!!

Oh my it has been a journey over the past six weeks of Teacher's College. I have been BUSY!! I did not realize how much work had to be done when I embarked on this journey through Teacher's College.

It has been exhausting but it is worth every second of it. After my first two weeks I wondered if I could really do this. There was so much to do; reading, reading and reading oh, did I say reading? On top of the reading there is a lot of math work. That's right math! I struggled with math when I was younger so the idea of this class frightened me just as much as the idea of a digital class.

Well I am making it through my math class and I have made it through my digital class with the help of our wonderful instructor Dave. He has been so enthusiastic. He is always smiling and willing to help. How could I not enjoy this course? I had a tough time with some of the aspects and tools for the course but learning isn't always easy! It can be difficult but it's all a part of the journey! As educators we need to keep on learning.

The world is changing everyday and we have to be prepared to teach in this ever changing world. This digital course is just the beginning of what I need to know digitally, but thanks to the course and our amazing instructor I have the confidence to continue this digital learning journey. I have been shown the tools to develop some technology in the classroom and I am ready to use them and explore some more!

Teacher's College Week 5

Wow I cannot believe that tomorrow is my last day in my Technology course. I am sad that I missed Week 5 but even more sad about the reason I missed it. I lost my Gram. She was one of the strongest, beautiful, loving woman I knew. I was so blessed to have her in my life. I was already playing catch up as I am not the fastest techie!! I feel like I fell even further behind in my digital class because I missed one week. It takes me a bit to catch up but I can do it. It might take me the next three full days to finish but I always complete my projects no matter how trying they can be for me at times. I went back to school in my late thirties and have made it through my undergrad and my Masters so I can get through this class too!! ALMOST THERE!!!!

Teacher's College Week #4

It is hard to believe that I am in my fourth week of Teacher's College. I am so happy that I made it through another week. It has been challenging. I think the course work has been overwhelming for many of us. I know it has for me. I am busy doing something every day and still feel like I am playing catch up. I am managing to get through what I can and hoping to catch up on everything over the next week.

I posted a quote on my twitter account in digital class today that says "Focus on what you can do, not what you cannot!" I find if I focus on what I cannot do it really holds me back from what I can. So I am staying focused during this journey through Teacher's College and know how good it will all feel at the end!!
