Lifelong Learning Applies Here, Too

If I take nothing else away from this course, it's that teaching is an ever evolving practice - similar to MIS and technology disciplines. It's a worthwhile challenge, and it's not one we face alone. In addition to the excellent books and resources from this class (not to mention the people - you all have been fun getting to know), I have developed a personal learning environment to demonstrate where else I can learn about teaching as I continue in my degree program and start teaching.
This is not comprehensive, particularly on those that list individuals to whom I can turn for advice or help. However, this gives me a good starting point from where to grow and keep learning. With any luck, these resources will lead me to others that are also helpful in keeping abreast of changes in education and trends in teaching. I suppose it's good I enjoy learning and experimenting with new(-to-me) techniques.

  1. Hey Teagen,

    I love how your map is so interpersonal! I entirely blanked on that part of mine, despite asking my mom for teaching advice almost every week - she's been an accounting instructor for a while now at a community college. I see you've got your mom listed as well. It just seems as though moms are always the people to go to for advice, no matter the subject. But, you've got a lot of others as well!

    All the best,
    Tess
