TIME FLIES ...

I used to laugh at my Gramma and my Mom when they would say this when I was little... Funny That!  I am NOT so little NOR young anymore!  I truly can't believe how fast time can go; especially as I watch my daughters grow up and I make my way through University.

This semester has caught me off guard.  Ealy Elementary in West Bloomfield is home to my field placement currently.  In 8 short weeks the Kindergarteners there have changed so drastically...but what was even funnier...they noticed that I had.  One young man "Nathan" told me that "I looked smarter".  I had to giggle...outta the mouths of babes! I feel smarter.  Three of the Professors I have had this semester have changed my life.  I would not be writing this very blog if it were not for Professor  Li's faith that I could learn technology.  He had MUCH more faith in me than I did...but I have been relentless in wanting to learn as much as I can!  I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!!!!! I am truly thinking of changing direction for my Masters.  Digital Literacy has such potential for reaching students and helping them to learn.  I am saddened by the thought of this class ending.  I truly believe this class should be mandatory and taken E V E R Y semester to be able to keep up with the ever changing technological wave.

Professor Li believes in FLOW.  I believe in making a difference.  He has said that I have changed his view of students...I am hoping he means that in a good way. HAHAHAH!  One never knows with me...However; I can say...the class I thought I would hate...I LOVE THE MOST and I don't want it to end. THAT MY DEARS...IS HOW YOU CAN TELL YOU HAVE DONE SOME PROFOUND LEARNING AND IMPACT ON YOUR STUDENTS!!!!!!!Professor Li, I thank you with a very grateful heart! My fellow classmates are and have been incredible...without James, Patty, Chelsea, and Amanda.... I probably would have made at least one computer airborne! For you see... time is not the only thing that can fly if I am trying to use a computer...GIGGLES!
