Professor Rozema,

I've been doing well teaching at S--- Middle school as the 6th grade Language Arts teacher. I wanted to share with you my first attempts at teaching students how to create wikis and podcasts. I taught them garageband first, audacity, and then usage of wikispaces.com. It's amazing to see what 11 and 12 year olds can do with the right preparation and resources! Some are excellent, many met the requirements, and only a few were lost. I've learned a lot from myself in my instruction for next time of teaching these skills, but boy, did I ever have fun teaching it! The students totally loved the unit, despite the fact that they may have been lost. Oh well, first time attempt was great in my opinion. Everyone, (and literally I feel that everyone that commented) was totally impressed and has never seen anything like it before. It felt great being the new teacher to the building and being a small step up on the ladder in the technology category.

Anyway, I've been considering starting my M.Ed program this summer...still debating on which to pursue. Right now I am leaning towards Instructional and Curriculum for Secondary level or Adult and Higher education. I have lots of time still.

Hope you're doing well!
