Finishing My Masters

Wow, at times this year, I questioned my drive to finish my degree, but here I am. This is my last post for my classes. I hope to continue this blog on a more personal level. There have been many resources I have learned about in the Walden program. The most useful is my delicious.com account. I have bookmarked so many sites that I did not have time to look closely at when I first noted them. Now, as part of my effort to stay abreast of emerging technology, I will go back and examine them more carefully. I also plan to look for updates of the Horizon Report.
My learning will not stop now. I will continue to attend inservices, conferences, and occasional classes. Keeping my personal learning community active is another important step to stay updated with new technologies. That includes those close to me and the people in virtual spaces like Second Life.
This program has inspired me to develop a relationship with my school's curriculum director. It is through her and our technology coordinators that change can take place in my school district.
I am cutting this short to get my son ready to attend a youth leadership conference in Washington, D.C. What an incredibly challenging year this has been, but it is ending on a high note. I look forward to continued development in my teaching career.
