Class Week 2

Wow, what a busy week this has been with work and the classes I am taking. I can't believe we are already into Septemeber. This year seems like it has flown by. I guess that's what happens when you have a baby in January. It is hard for me to believe he is already 8 months old and my oldest son is 3. Wow how time flies.

This week I have been very busy working on my E-Portfolio. It has really been a fun experience. I had not done anything with my E-Portfolio since I started the CTER program, truthfully I was afraid!! I had such a hard time with this exercise in our orientation activities. However, now I feel differently. Since I didn't really like the portfolio I had created a year and a half ago I decide to start fresh. I asked our technology instructor what software she recommended and she said Macromedia Dreamweaver was great. I downloaded it onto my computer at work and began exploring. It is very easy to use!!

I hope my portfolio is what Vanna is looking for, but if not, I can make changes in the future. I want my portfolio to remain on our school website so incoming students and their parents can review my credentials. I think all our faculty should have one!!

I was showing my portfolio to one of my colleagues and she said she would love to learn how to do things like this and told me I should head up a session at one of our inservices since this is useful professional development tool!! I was excited!! That would be really fun.

I other news, I am also taking a Statistics class this semester through Math Teacher Link and I turned in my first assignment. Only 7 more to go!! Some days I think I might have a breakdown with all my class work and all my work for my job and my life at home. Then I stop and think that it will all be over in December and it will all be well worth it!! Yeah!!

Until later.
