My first week

School has started again and I'm ready to dive into new classes. There is always an exciting rush the first week with getting a new syllabus and meeting new classmates. Having online classes has changed this process for me and its become a very internal thing. School use to be something that was a very real thing for me, a place to go to and to learn. As I've grown older and more accustom to online learning I realize that school, and learning as an extension, happens everywhere.

This semester marks a great transition for me. I've overcome a rough patch and finished some coursework I never had any confidence I'd finish. I feel like I can start this semester renewed. I'll be studying the Management of School Libraries and Computer Applications in School Libraries. I believe my previous coursework in teaching exceptional learners will greatly assist my learning of school technology. A major focus of that class was assistive technology and how it can help students with disabilities in the classroom.

Looking forward to this semester and being productive!
