Looking back at the schools I chose, I don't have different views of them now, but that is only because I was able to find so little information in the first place and haven't gotten any more. Perhaps I wish I had chosen different schools where I could have gotten more information, but it seems to be a general challenge, so maybe there wasn't must I could've done differently anyway.
Other views of mine have changed, however. While I believe wholeheartedly in online learning, I think that a blended model that includes both online and face to face holds a lot of potential. I think the ideal model of learning is that which is project based, and a blended style class would lend itself to working in a collaborative research project.
I had also imagined myself building an educational software platform, and while I still want to do that, I realize there are so many more options and I don't want to close myself off to just one. I think if my career were long enough and I had the opportunity, I would also want to spend time researching, and I'd also like to work as a coordinator or consultant to help teachers and school develop innovative ways to redesign their curriculum. And who knows - maybe I'll try teaching after all!

Sounds like a plan!
ReplyDeleteWhy did you choose the schools that you did? I am curious what drew you to them?
ReplyDeleteYou know Alejandro, I don't remember why I chose MoVIP - but 21st century cyber I chose because they had a synchronous class that kids could log it to watch or replay later if they missed it and because the curriculum is developed internally. It seemed different so I thought it was interested. Sadly I haven't gotten a response to my request to get in touch. :(
