I officially made it to the end of my Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction and I have to say I feel pretty good right about now! Am I a little sad? Yes, because I have learned so much over the last couple of years and met a lot of amazing educators I otherwise would have never met. Am I excited? You better believe I am! I’m so thankful for these courses and the ability to connect with all of you and I’m also grateful that we can remain connected via twitter and other ways.
This semester has been A LOT for us all. Trying to take my final course and juggling hybrid teaching in COVID is no joke. I learned a lot this semester – history, old tools, and new tools as well. The opportunities to present of specific types of tools allowed for us all to learn from each other and test out many of these tools that I am taking back to my classroom. Connecting via blogs and twitter is always a great way to learn from each other, and it’s something I know I will continue to do past this experience. So without further ado, here is my final summary of learning! Enjoy!
Thank you everyone for a great semester and for getting through this crazy roller coaster of a year together! Good to all my colleagues that are graduating as well, and good luck to those of you that have a few courses left! Stay in touch! 🙂
Until next time,
Shelby

Shelby,
Very well done Summary of Learning! I agree– coding definitely had me intimidated at the beginning of the semester. However, I’m finding these tools can be quite user friendly and are not as scary as we think!
Like you mentioned, being a kid from the 90s, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what technology looked like back then. However, little did I know, these roots go further back than the 90s. I have found that I have certainly learned a lot, but still have a long way to go… So many different avenues to pursue!
Congrats on finishing your degree! Its been a pleasure learning alongside you!

Congratulations Shelby! This a fantastic final summary of learning! I am happy to hear that Nearpod is now a part of your classroom. You have taken so much of what we have learned and summed it up so succinctly in just over 7 minutes! I definitely feel like I am leaving this class with a full toolbox of tech tools to use with my students. I am just debating where to start. Thanks for sharing your learning with me through this course! All the best.
