trainers are like kindergarten teachers....

another great class. lots of things to think about, especially the idea of trainers being kindergarten teachers. my instructor and i spoke afterwards and we were talking about my new job (making the transition to corporate is weird for me!) and he was saying that i have to think of myself as a kindergarten teacher... he said that we always remember those zany instructors who help build who we are and that's what i'm bring to the team -- i've lived and breathed this software for so long that i'm now able to "give back" to the company and be a part of the tradition this new growing community.

assessment is the next big leap for online education. glad i'm in this profession. *hoorah*

first day of class

i'm deciding whether or not to start a new blog all about my classes or not... so for right now, i'll start by posting here.

i had my first class in product evaluation. we are going to learn all about roi (return on investment) and how to provide criticism in a way that improves learning. i'm so excited to be a part of this class and apparently, as my instructor states "this will be the most important class we take." my academic heart is going pitter-patter!

on a side note, i'm meeting with my graduate chair (who also is teaching product evaluation) next tuesday @ 7:00 am (before class). very excited. going to be designing a rubric instead of a model. this should be very cool!

well, i haven't posted in a long time...

... because i haven't had much to blog about until now!

i just accepted a position with a company in ny, but i get to telecommunte from chico! and i moved into a new apartment *hooray* and school starts next week!

very exciting stuff...
