I’m pursuing my EdS in Instructional Technology, and hope to finish this summer. There are obviously many challenges to working full time while trying to complete grad school. As I begin a new semester (chasing 6 credit hours), I’m reminded of how often the roles of instructor and learner merge for me, and similarities which exist for learners of all ages. As I peruse the course objectives for each of my classes, I can’t help but think how the content I’m learning can benefit the students I teach during the school year. Idea after idea pops in my head for new ways to share content, and new methods for inspiring technological inquiry. At the same time, I catch myself thinking about all the work involved, and hoping I’ll be able to pull together meaningful projects to submit. Turns out I’m on both sides of the coin once again…teacher and student at the same time.
