Journal Entry

So….I like this program, it is very pertinent to my goals, so that is good. I am thankful that I am able to pull it off and work multiple jobs and run a business.


Strength – Thus far the strongest learning experience has been realizing that we must accommodate the various learning styles. I knew this before, but did not realize the importance of it. I also like the whole blog scene.

Improvement – I am always striving to improve my game. There are some concepts that do seem a little over whelming, but I am a little apprehensive about asking questions cause I feel that the concepts are elementary and I should already have a grasp on the subject. So this being said, I am going to ask questions no matter what. I am also going to work on time management. I think I may have already talked about this in prior entry, but my time management skill suck. I have a blackberry and that helps. I think I take on too much and have the inability to say no. So…..I will work on this also.

Insight – As for real world application, next semester I will attempt to build an online program that encompasses all the different learning styles. This will be a challenge since I teach online and it is hard for the student to prove accountable in this setting. I much prefer traditional learning from the instructors stand point.

I do want to clarify a point that I made in my blog. I am not suggesting we give away education, I am just merely stating that we are paid for a service and we need to provide the best service. Now, I understand some people will do nothing and they get an F. This week I gave a student his fourth “F” that I have given him since 2006. He chooses what he gets as a grade through his work. However I cannot write him off, I still need to give him the best product just in case this is the semester that he is to shine.
