Wow, it has been 7 months since I last blogged. Time really flies. So did the master's program in teaching and learning with technology. I started working on my masters in September of 2010. Today is 10/20/11 and I have completed 27 or 30 credits, and on Saturday, October 22nd, I will be in Clinton, Iowa, attending the commencement ceremony. I worked really hard over this past year and have maintained a 4.0 GPA.
This has been an awesome year and I have learned so much about using technology as a means to deliver training to others. I have a greater understanding about performance measurements and evaluation and how to conduct educational research. I thought that I wanted to use my new skills to design curriculum and I still may seek that opportunity within AT&T but I really have a strong desire to get back into the classroom.
Phil has been so supportive these last 2 years as I earned my BA and MA and he said that I should pursue a doctorate. Wouldn't that be cool? Dr. Henry. I love it. I have looked into a few options, North Central University, the least expensive, Walden University and Capella University (the most expensive). Another option is to get certified in California to teach and then I can enter the UC or community college system and do a little part time teaching. Got to think about what I'm going to do when I retire from AT&T and taking on a class, either in the classroom or online would be perfect.
So here I am in Week 2 of my final class which is a Capstone of the MATLT and I am looking forward to the next educational adventure and a short walk across a big stage on Saturday. Look for pictures or maybe a video on my FB page.
Talk to you soon!
