Midterm

1. Describe yourself in terms of three strands : Writer, Theory and Technology.

I am not a sit at a desk and brainstorm writer or go to a special place to write writer. I am a

 "on the go” writer. I continue to think about my project until it is complete. Whenever a thought comes to mind I write it down in my cellphone. I stop what I am doing then plug it in and when I have time to I make decisions of what will flow. I have yet to develop a great theory although it is in my plans. I have managed to develop little theories like " To be proactive means to never have to worry about an out of controlled situation," when you pay attention to your life you can prevent confusion. Also when dealing with your life  "Good intentions create great outcomes," when being proactive. Technology is a stranger to me although I am slowly becoming familiar by force (lol) I have decided to further my education and some of my assignments require technical input. Because I love to learn I am getting excited about adjusting to the technology aspects of the curriculum. It is an enjoyable challenge and a fascinating experience.

2. Although all three strands will be explored. Which strand will you focus on ?

I will definitely focus on technology. I am aware of the necessity of technology in the 21 century. I want to be technically inclined to be able to complete my class assignments. When someone is not technically inclined he/she may appear old. I am young at heart I do not want my lack of technology to define me.

3) How are you documenting your growth?

I am documenting my growth by my comprehension of the assignments and my ability complete them without assistance. My growth has allowed me to listen until my questions get answered. It makes a relaxing class that also allows great ideas to come to mind. My growth also makes a less tense environment.

4) What are your developing goals as ISI progresses?

My personal goal is to improve self growth in every class. My educational goal is to learn how teachers collaborates and how they set up  their TIW. In every face-to-face session I have learned by listening to the teachers share they're teaching ideas and experiences with each other. It is a great educational experience. I also find the professor’s presentation to be engaging and easy to follow.

5) What help/guidance do you need from me as your facilitator?

Unfortunately I may need a physical step by step lesson on the technical aspects of the curriculum. That will allow me to write down the steps. I know it is time consuming but once I write it down I will never need another lesson of that technical aspect.
