Learning is Definitely A Challenge
Ever notice how you, with all your education, may “think” you know something or have obtained various pieces of valuable information? Then one day, someone or some element comes along and introduces you to a personal knowledge bowl- one that is new and different, but holds many of the qualities you thought you were aware of? Well, these new-found discoveries have been reflections of me! I thought I was well-rounded with technological information until I enrolled in a technology for teachers and learners class. Whew! As an English teacher, excuse me when I say, “It Ain’t Been No Crystal Staircase.” Technology, alike many of us within our classrooms, each day, each lesson, each discovery, has changed. For the good mostly, but at trying times, for me, the bad. It has been frustrating and challenging trying to work, take care of family, participate in extra-curricular activities, rest, attend and participate in church, and complete these assignments intended to assist with future endeavors, but make me feel as though they are for my ill.
Many say, “Don’t bite off more than you can chew.” Thanks, but I sometimes feel as though I have bitten more than I can swallow because the chewing seems easy until the digestion takes place.
On the brighter side, I have been able to implement many of the challenges I face to my classes and though they seem to feel the same frustration as I, we will succeed together!
