An Amazing Experience
Reflecting on the Info-Tech Program
The journey that I have taken to get to the end of this program has been incredible both personally and professionally. Since the beginning of the program I was a school representative for a very difficult contract negotiation, I went through a science curriculum adoption, I taught Biology for the fist time, my son turned two years old, and I added a little girl to my family. All of that on top of the typical day to day experiences that everyone has. Through all of it, I was able to finally finish one of the most important goals in my life.
The Info. Tech program provided me with an opportunity that I wouldn't have had in many other programs. I was able to maintain a full time job, spend time with my family, and finish my degree all at the same time. I had some steep hurdles to overcome but the flexibility of teachers within the program, along with the ability to work from home, allowed me to finish in a relatively short amount of time. Along the way, I learned so much about technology and the role it plays in education. I was able to reflect on my teaching in a different way, which has led me down a new path in my career. I formed new opinions, clarified old ones, and improved my teaching through hard work and dedication to my students and myself. Thank you Western Oregon University for offering a program in which students can learn so much without having to step on campus.
