Wk1 Wimba Thoughts

So watching Wimba was certainly an eye-opener that my time at Full Sail is coming to an end.  I meet this end with both joy and sadness.  I am happy to have received such a quality education, but I don't want to leave.  When watching the Wimba the PPP hit me dead on.  You mean you want me to submit something to a professional organization or be prepared to present at a national conference??  Me??  Really??  I have attend several national conferences and have been awed by it's presenters and I guess I still have difficulty thinking that that could be me. I see myself as that small town school teacher (parallel me to country mouse) and the presenters as much more entitled than I to be presenting (parallel them to city mouse).  I will tackle this project as I have all of my Full Sail projects, with an open mind, nervous heart and lots of determination.

I also have to say that I am not shedding any tears for the end of the Literature Review. Of all the projects we have had to do over the past 10 months, that one has, BY FAR, been the most difficult for me for some unknown reason.  I use to thrive when writing and presenting papers, but somehow, over the past umpteen years, I have lost my touch.  Good-bye, Lit Review, I am not sure you will be missed!

 
Since we are almost done, I wanted to go back to the introductory video from month 1

  1. Heather,

    It would be really neat if we could find a way to present together. Our core topics are very closely related and it would be really neat to do a comparison of motivation across different audiences and classroom environments. I think we could make it work.

    What do you think? We could probably get both of our lit reviews published in the conference proceedings, even if we presented together.

    Just a thought. :)

  2. Heather,
    I no more associate you with a country mouse than I would a diamond. You have produced some very professional looking projects and with your "git ur done" attitude, I think you would be a GREAT presenter! You and Jen together could be the dynamic duo! Have no fear!

  3. Jen,

    I think that would be great to come up with a presentation together. We should definitely run it by Joe!

  4. Thanks Pam! I guess sometimes it's hard to see yourself as others see you!
