I would have to agree that my hands are a little dirty at this point in class. I planted my garden a couple weeks ago too! So i get the analogy. There is a refreshing feeling about working with the soil and getting a little dirty. It feels even better when you go in and clean up. That's how it has felt throughout the course. It feels good to get your brains dirty and engage them, but it feels even better when the data and cognition compiled is organized and cleaned up to form a final product. I think most of us have put forth quality work and should be pleased with the end result. I am partial to gardening, but i might differ in musical tastes. Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd is more my cup of tea, lol. I will talk to you Tuesday night at 5:10.
I have to say Ive enjoyed this class very much. I have never been very technically savy and Im starting to feel more comfortable using technology. Im really excited to use a lot of the things we've learned in my own class! Thanks!
Chris I look forward to talking gardening! It's definitely a labor of love, but well worth it when as soon I eat the first ripe tomato straight from the vine!
Katie, I look forward to learning from you as you modify the use of the tools in your own clas!
Tiffany, Although my attitude and physical gestures may not show it, I do enjoy this class (especially this evening's class). Despite my moaning and whining that has persisted since the first day of class, I know that I will gain knowledge about something meaningful in the end, even if it is only an application I can use in the classroom and/or how to be a mature and professional teacher. By you holding us accountable to comply with and honor the professional disposition codes of conduct, it will reinforce our confidence in effectively and appropriately solving any obstacle, good or bad, which we may face as future teachers. I am also very grateful and fortunate to have you as my instructor not only for your concern and willingness to assist students that may require a little more attention, like myself, but for being a positive role model. You are an excellent paradigm to follow when I become a teacher. Thank you so much for your time and patience with me throughout this wild and crazy semester. :)
Ian, thanks for your very kind words. I am proud of how this class has turned out, largely because of the relationships that have formed, the high quality work everyone has produced, and learning on everyone's part (including my own). Great stuff, that makes me love my job!
