No Ragrets... not even one letter

This post on Reddit is giving me so much life right now.

This past year was the first year I haven't been in a classroom since 2010...

Do I regret it? Not in a million years

Do I miss my babes? Absolutely! I had a professor in undergrad that always said kids are smarter than adults, and I completely agree :) The stories I have about my students are exponentially better than stories I have about my coworkers.

My professional identity is changing and evolving and I'm loving it.

    Good luck on your evolving career!!! I know that feeling of teaching, I tear up a bit when the semester ends cause I don't get to see the undergrads that laughed at all my horrible dad jokes during class anymore :'(.

      How much fun is it when you get a new group of students to share the jokes with though?

Have you ever just been so overwhelmed with stuff? Like it's literally everywhere and won't stop piling up? That's how I initially felt when I entered my first Twitter chat today. I was just there to observe and see how it works but my goodness!! I felt like I needed to have my phone updating the feed, then have two or three desktop windows open to click on other hashtags, look at profiles, post, and another window to find GIFS because apparently that's a thing on Twitter chats... who knew? But with all things in life, I just went with the flow. I stopped worrying about EVERY post and started reading the repetitive tweeters, I'd stop at random spots to slowly scroll when the feed became too much, and of course anything that the host posted I took notice of.  While this may not be the best tactic as a chat host, because you really should be paying attention to more than a few people, it worked for me as an observer with zero experience. Eventually, I

I'm on island time!

This week is closing to an end and I'm thinking how can I get ahead of all the responsibilities I have to complete for my summer classes?!? When will I research this, write this, or submit this?... hello time management! At work, I had this feeling of "there's never enough time" especially when Thursday rolled around. But that comes naturally when dealing with multiple project and task deadlines, right? To be honest, all I could think about throughout the week was spending time with my family to celebrate birthdays and the 4th of July. I was looking forward to waking up each morning with a beach view, a cup of coffee in hand, and the struggle of the day is what bathing suit I'd wear. Well, TODAY IS THE DAY! We made it to the island! For the next week I will relinquish all work responsibility and focus on being a student and soaking up the sun. I envision my next week being similar to working at home? Have any of you worked from home as an instructional des

The time has come the walrus said... to dive into the world of Web 2.0, collaboration, social media, and social networking. From now until August, my sources of inspiration will focus on what I'm learning in my Instructional Systems and Learning Technology class at Florida State University- EME6414: Web 2.0-based Learning and Performance. I've been eager to start this class and am looking forward to posting about what I'm learning, reflecting on how it'll affect my design and development processes, and what I can do with my new found wisdom to influence how people learn, work, and use tools that foster inquiry and collaboration. Let the adventure begin and Go Noles!
