Blogger deleted my last post!

Blogger deleted my hw for EME5054. So here we go again and I'm backing it up on my email. TAKE THAT BLOGGER! :-P

As previously stated in my blog, I have no idea what I want to do once I graduate from the Ed Tech program with my Masters, but I started looking last semester at jobs on Monster and Chronicle, and I'm looking again for EME5054

So a few paths I'm thinking about are:

Tech Coordinator for schools- Even with this there are two paths that I'm thinking about. The first is involving myself in the classrooms at an individual school as the tech teacher and arranging Professional Development for the teachers, or working at the district designing technology curriculum which again would probably involve some professional development for teachers.

Educational Software Designer- Again two different paths, either in designing what the programmers will create, or actually creating the programs.

Distance Education- I'm interested in looking into developing Teacher Professional Development online which I started last semester.

College Professor- I'm really enjoying teaching my EME4406 lab, although I'm still trying to get into teaching college students. It's been tough getting all my educational ideas to apply to college level, especially as I'm teaching a class on secondary education. I am really enjoying it though and as I get deeper into the semester I'm sure I'll become more at ease with it.

So what do I need to become qualified for these positions?

I'm working on learning programming. One of my goals this semester is to learn some gaming languages. I'm starting with RUBY which can be used in RPG Maker XP, but I'd also like to learn some Flash, C# (I know a little C++ but could use a refresher), and I really need to learn to use Dreamweaver more effectively with CSS. I'm hoping that as I'm teaching EME4406 I'll be able to learn a lot more myself as I'm trying to teach my students.
