#9 Understanding the Mind of a Web Designer

What a quarter this has been!!!! It has been extremely stressful, painful, but yet exciting to see the development of my website.

I have to say that this is the best one I have done. I wanted to try some new things, such as CSS. It was quite intense for me because I had never tried it, but once I got some tutorials behind me, I was quite happy with what I could do.

Throughout this course, I have come to a better understanding of the many opportunities we have as teachers. The web has such a vast variety of things for us to use and resources to learn from. I want to get out and teach right away because of the excitement I have for all of this stuff. The particular class I want to teach is Interactive Media. This particular course has the students learning competencies in web design, audio/video, photography, desktop publishing, and much more. This course has given me the confidence, that extra little boost needed to realize that I CAN do this. I WANT to do this.

Overall, I have a deeper understanding of all the things this course has gone over; From basic web design, images, layouts, hyperlinks, videos, podcasts, to yes even general teaching practices.

I want to take the time to thank everyone of you have posted on my blog. I have enjoyed reading all your comments. I have taken to heart every little comment, and try and continue to produce things for you to read.

I recently read a really great quote about teachers, "A teacher effects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." -Henry Adams

So as each of us embarks on our journeys as teachers and other great things, remember all of us have something to offer, everyone is a teacher in their own respect. What we offer, will continue on through eternity.

Best Wishes to All!
