Course Reflection EDLD 5306


My experience with taking an on-line course involved a bit of a learning curve.  I convinced myself to go back for another master’s degree for two reasons.  Technology has always been an interest to me yet I have never received any formal training in that area.  And secondly, I have always been curious about on-line courses.  It seemed ideal for me, flexible and self-paced.  Once I got over the initial intimidation of navigating around the virtual classroom and assignments, things began to fall into place.  The web conferences, on-line support and instruction were everything that I wanted.  Ms. Borel, Dr. Abernathy and our on-line coach Sarah were always encouraging and helpful.  I was very pleased with my results and continue to be challenged by the course ahead.  In many ways, I still feel like a fish out of water since most of my classmates are in education but it is not discouraging.  While I may not use these new skills in the classroom, they will be extremely helpful in the parish office, parish school and in the vocation office as I continue my work with young men studying for the priesthood.
