I am totally enjoying my courses through Full Sail University. I suppose I am just overwhelmed by so much technology. Ha, I had considered myself to be somewhat computer savvy, but to my surprise, I am like a pre-schooler in the area of media design and technology. However, I consider myself to be a life long learner and very determined. So, look out world of technology, here I come.

Reflections of a Yorkie Mom
I am working towards a Masters in Educational Media Design and Technology. Wow! I have made it through three months. It has been difficult trying to balance a full time teaching position, part-time tutoring, part-time real estate sales and caring for two Yorkie puppies and my precious 16 year old Shih Tzu. In addition, I have a 3 1/2 year old granddaughter who is such a precious gift to our family.

Yorkie Mom,
ReplyDeleteYour words are filled with truth! Before I started this program, I was already a Mac user, so I thought the learning curve wouldn’t be too wide. Little did I know how wrong I was, there are so many more resources that I hadn’t even heard existed. Plus, now I have discovered the world of Adobe and that has taken on a whole new life in itself.
So far, the toughest part of the program for me has been to manage all of the content, while still work on my action research project. Like you, I also work two part-time jobs. Plus, I homeschool my children and I have a few commitments with church activities throughout the month. It is very motivating to know that we will be done so soon, we are already half way through month four!
Though I have not slept much since school began, the things we have learned to create throughout this program have been well worth the sacrifice.
On graduation day I will be presenting my family with mini-diplomas for their understanding and support throughout this endeavor.
