After some crazy snow in Georgia, I am settling in to the new semester. Two new classes, both with so many exciting topics! I have always been savvy with a computer, but admittedly have never understood what is under the “hood” or in the background of the internet. I manage a teacher website and get frustrated when I can’t get it to look the way I want it look! I am very excited to learn some html code!
Design and development of lesson is a huge part of what I work on to have a successful classroom environment, but have never thought much about it when it comes to my online material. I know that learning more about design and development for the web and multimedia project with defiantly affect me as a teacher. I am just not sure how yet! I am ready to build on what I know to reach a new level as a teacher.
Admittedly, I have a problem… I tend to go overboard. Some may call it overachieving; I call it just doing my job to the best of my ability. Once I get an idea in my head, it’s really hard to let it go. That being said, I have two fears moving forward with design and development: time and knowledge, knowing once I get into it I won’t be able to back down. Will I have enough time in my life to really explore, learn, and use new knowledge? Once I dive in, will have learned what I need to accomplish what I want? Will I have the knowledge to share with others?
Only one way to find out…. Let’s get started!!!
html code! AHH! The thought still freaks me out even though you keep telling me it is not that scary! You are super focused, but with the two of us we can tackle this design/development because my mind keeps running with ideas too! :) We will just have to find time (with more healthy salads and less pizza!)!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are in good hands with a few of us who have experiences with designing a website using html codes. If I can only tell you the pros and cons about it. You have the right attitude about learning. You are only going to learn by doing and achieving. We will all be better equip teachers for our students after each semester.
ReplyDelete@Whitney- salads yes! And focused... well I don't know about that... We will get it...
ReplyDelete@April- Teach me please! thanks!
