Reflection & Artifacts
We move forward or go backwards. We never stay the same. We must continue to grow and learn. We must be committed to our students. We must be committed to professional growth. Teaching is a profession that can't be mastered. We must continually learn because our students are continually changing, as society continually changes.
A course site is an example of professional growth. Presenting digital material and communications via a course site shows professionalism and organization. Padlet provides a virtual billboard where a variety of interesting digital materials can be posted for students. Engaging students in a variety of ways shows a commitment to engagement. Scoopit is a very powerful platform that teachers can use to offer multiple relevant topics that students can choose from. This teaches students to take charge of their education and is a powerful example of commitment to students learning

Future Learning Goals
I intend to continue to grow professionally and personally. This course and the pursuit of a graduate degree are examples of personal and professional growth and I intend to continue on that path. I truly believe that one goes forward or moves backward. I intend that learning is a lifelong process. I intend to move forward always.
