Looking back and fast forwarding to now I must say I’ve come a very long way from being a digital learner to actually being a digital leader. No, this journey has not been easy, but I’ve managed to travel this road through the ADL program with a great network of people who also want to make a difference in education. For that I am truly grateful, having a learning community and a group of individuals just like me who I could collaborate with and share ideas throughout our courses.
Along this journey I have been able to create and implement new ways of learning in the classrooms I currently sub. Below are a list of items and projects I have had the pleasure of creating throughout my journey.
Innovation plan https://docs.google.com/document/d/10dYcmkD0nRzCJgqTxLZMcmQvzULpFWkSCwAyQutkqRo/edit?usp=sharing
During the creation of my innovation plan I had no clue what I was doing. I had just started full-time with the school district and was still feeling my way around the learning process. I was able to write a letter to my then principal concerning how I felt our school needed the correct materials such as computers for every student so that we could start them on the path of implementing blended learning. During the pandemic I saw my district suffering and wanted to find a way to make a way for the students to succeed in their communities.
Organizational change
When it came to organizing change within my school is was rough because some of the teachers were so used to the old way of learning that they were forgetting that times have changed and this new generation of learners learn different and in order to reach and teach the students. During this course I had to give reasons as to why I believed this change needed to happen within our district. After presenting this I feel like I started to break through and the admins started to hear me
Significant Learning Environment
Call to Action
ePortfolio
Creating and overall eportfolio was very challenging but i got it done. I looked at many sites that I could use to help build my eportfolio and landed on Wix since it was a tad bit eaiser to use and navigate. With a little guidance from youtube university I was able to create something i never thought i would be able to create. from learning how to add pages, adding graphic and pictures, learning how to embed links and videos, creating blogs.
Making Connections
Having a personal learning NETWORK COLLOBRATION group throughout my time within the adl program has really been a huge help. Coming into this program not really knowing what I was doing or to expect but was forced to connect with other educator such as myself which turned out better than expected and honestly made this journey much better.
Out of everything I have accomplished throughout this entire course I must say what truly made me feel like I could do anything I put my mind to and thats when I first got into the program and realized I was going to create a working classroom boy was I scared but I put my mind to it and look at me now in the year 2023 getting ready to graduate and have my Masters in Education. I would've never thought I make it to the finishline but here I AM!!!!!!
