Week One--Developing and Learning in Adulthood/Rubrics Intro

Let's look at "Developing and Learning in Adulthood" first: I am a great example of this! I am nearly fifty years old, and right now I am probably developing and learning more professionally than I have my entire life! I don't know the exact reason for this, but one thing I can say is that I finally decided to get out of my "comfort zone," take some risks, try to "open some new doors," try to find exactly what it is that I have a passion for in life!

I struggled for so many years trying to figure out who I really am, what God really wanted for me career-wise. I don't know why some people figure it out early in his or her life, and some of us take quite a bit longer. "At the end of the day," as what seems to be the common phrase these days, it doesn't really matter how long it takes to reach your goals, or find out who you really are, it's just that you get there!

As for rubrics, this is "right up my alley!" I am a very structure-oriented person--I love maps and instructions! I like things "spelled out" so it leaves little to the imagination--little room for disagreements or arguments. Above all, it shows that you put extra effort into what you have planned and intend to carry out. I think students are impressed by this and will be more willing to "buy in" to what you have to offer!

Looks like you got off to a good start. Thanks for the invite.

Welcome

Welcome to Sharing and Learning dot Blog! I have created this blog as part of the coursework in the final leg of obtaining a Masters Degree in Instructional Techonology from Bellevue University. It is a tool created to share thoughts, and learn from the experience of, attending an online seminar with my fellow students in our cohort, specifically in the final GMIT 650 and 660 courses for the program!

Please enjoy your visits and please leave some helpful hints and comments!
