Up in the air again!


The last time I posted, I was working at the Sheriff’s office and not teaching school.  Because I was not teaching, I made my Action Report at Brazosport College. Now, there have been some big changes in my work.  I am teaching graphic design, animation, digital interactive media, web technologies, advanced animation, and advanced graphic design at the high school. I took off working on my Lamar master program for six months so I could focus on the new job, and learn all the new Adobe software programs: Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver.  Now that I am back, I am trying to work out how to continue working on my Action Research and Internship plan. I am not sure how to continue from here. It would be so much more useful to me to complete my Internship and Action Research at my new school, but I do not know if it would be better to just continue completing my work at Brazosport. These last five weeks I have not worked on either project. I have had my hands full just completing my assignments and continuing working on learning the software I need to teach everyday. My plan is to review my Action Research and evaluate how much I have actually completed. If a large portion is complete, I will finish it off at Brazosport. My thought is the Internship plan is almost complete and I will work to complete it at Brazosport. The Action Research is not nearly complete, and I may just restart it at Angleton High School, if that is acceptable to everyone.

EDLD 5363 Web Conference December 15, 2011 Reflection

     Tonight’s conference was a little shorter for me than the last. It may be because I was so distracted by the web cam not working. It was on, but it would not come up in the class. I understand it may be because of I need flash, but it has always worked before. Because I kept messing with flash and the camera, I am afraid I missed some of the discussion. I was even kicked out of the conference once and had to log back on and wait to get it in. I guess all these things are kinks in a technology that will be ironed out as time goes on, and there are always growing pains as there is progress.        The conference was kind of an overview of what should already be done and what to look forward to in the future.   I did not have any real questions, but enjoyed hearing Dr. Abernathy assure us that she was there to help us if we needed her. I believe this has been my favorite class so far. It has not been high stress and it is something I w...

I was an interior design major before I changed to business. I have always loved old houses, and recently found out I lived in a house similar to the house I moved when I was a toddler. What did your family think of this project? They thought I was not operating on all cylinders. One daughter told me that you do not buy and old house like and antique and stick it in your backyard. Did you know what you were getting into? I had a friend that had moved two houses together, and I loved her house. I did not know the expense would be so much. Part of that was due to the fact Hurricane Ike came through and construction costs skyrocketed. Did you have any time where yo...
