I want to take you on a little journey. It is a journey that took me five weeks to complete but it has opened so many new opportunities for me to explore that I do not feel the adventure is over yet. This journey began with the introduction to Informatics, a world of technology. For many of you, technology and what it has to offer is probably not a new concept. For me, technology included Google, YouTube and PowerPoint presentations-- that other people created, NOT me! I had never blogged before in my entire life. I knew about blogging, mind you, but it was not an avenue that I had previously envision utilizing for providing instruction to students. I had also never used Skype before I began this journey. Now I wonder how many of my friends and family use it.
I am sure there are going to be many times that you can teach me new and exciting ways to use technology in the classroom, and I welcome this! I feel learning is a collaborative experience. I have learned so much from Informatics, primarily that learning is never limited by technology, only by our imagination! I have discovered a world that goes far beyond lectures and textbooks. It involves avatars, animoto, and virtual field trips. I feel that I am now better prepared to meeting your learning needs and in providing a creative and fun educational environment for us all.
I look forward to the opportunity to learn and grow with you!
God bless and happy learning!
With warm regards,
Jennifer Smalls, RN, BSN
