To Be a Teacher is a Responsibilty of Everyone

How do you teach a teacher? That's what I was wondering when I first learned that's exactly what I would be doing. Especially how do I do this when I'm not 100% positive on what I'm doing. Well I'd soon realize everything had just gotten a lot easier. Over the course of this class I've realized I've learned a lot more than I'd thought. Even though I'm not always sure when everything due or when to submit it, when I do realize that it is, I know what to do. I've always been an A/B student getting everything done when it needed to be and turning assignments in on time. At first getting thrown for a loop was stressful, now I feel like it's made me grow and learn how to adapt to different situations.
When my teacher and I contacted each other she told me how she wanted to utilize photostory more and use it more in her classroom. She also mentioned how she is way better with face to face instruction. Aah!! I thought I'm not the best with photostory and this is suppose to primarily technology based instruction. After I talked to my teacher though, she explained that November 9th there would be a lab held to help out students and teachers! This would be a perfect opportunity to meet face to face with my teacher and help her at the same time! whew!!

A Blur of Clarity

Ahh! That's the first thing I thought when beginning my World 203 class. With all the information that was being thrown at me I didn't know what to process first, if I was a printer I would have been jammed to say the least. I also was excited, this wasn't your average World 203 class it was one that would become helpful to me and the knowledge I gained could be applied to the real world. I'm a creative advertising major, working for a big firm, which I hope to do, means you have to go global. Your clientele and probably some of your biggest accounts are going to be based all around the world. In this class, discussions on global communication have really made my brain begin to tick and realize what things are really out there for me to utilize. Also, being creative minded when I stumble upon something I like my mind goes in 50 different directions, being able to use websites like delicious are a great help!! Now it's time to share what I've learned :)
