Writer’s block…..UGH!!....What can I write about accessibility? Yes, I think all education should be accessible to students, but how can I find time to make my courses more accessible? My biggest frustration in my new position is the lack of time I have to improve my courses or make any changes. I feel like I am not teaching to my fullest potential. By having to teach 7, 3 credit transferable courses, I can barely keep up with the grading and prepping. I want to use more universal design in my courses, but I have only been able to add one or two things here and there. I wish I had one whole semester to devote to upgrading all of my courses to reflect additional universal design principles.
I have really enjoyed this course and have learned many, many news things. I thought it was enlightening to be able to discuss academic learning concepts again. I thought it was uplifting to be able to discuss education concepts with other educator’s at all levels of education.
My biggest regret was not having more time to participate in more discussions and more time to write in my journal. I wish I could have included more ideas in my journal as they came to me during course readings and/or when completing various course projects. Next time, I am going to carry a small paper journal with me to jot down notes when they pop into my brain. This semester I made the mistake of thinking I could remember my ideas until the end of the week, but by that time, they had already drifted off into la la land!
I wanted to do more and read more about the topics presented. I am hoping that I will have the opportunity to focus more on my studies when I take the second course in the E-Learning certificate series this summer.
Until then, I bid you adieu! See you all next summer!
