Happy Friday, friends! I am so so excited about today because it’s the first day of school for me!
Kind of.
Let me explain.
I have been putting off and putting off getting my master’s degree for the longest. I got my Bachelor’s degree in elementary education almost 10 years ago (what?!?) and I’ve just never started the next step in the education process. I have been busy, busy, busy and I could never wrap my brain around even thinking about adding something else to the mix. But then once I started looking into it, I realized that you can actually take most of (if not ALL) your Master classes online now. I’m so excited to partner with the University of West Alabama and share my online journey with y’all!
Now, I’m just dipping my toes in the water this summer and I’m only taking one class, but I’m so excited about it! It’s called Imaging/Graphic Design Technology Learning (the program I’m getting my Master’s degree in is Learning, Design, and Technology.) I LOVE learning about different ways to use technology to enhance student learning, so I’m hopefully that my first class will be full of useful info.
If you’re like I was and you’re unsure if you’ll be able to fit in “going back to school,” you should look into the online programs at UWA. I couldn’t believe how easy it is! Now if the actual class is as easy, I’ll be one happy girl! 🙂 🙂
I’ll be checking in all summer and updating y’all on my process. How many of y’all have your Master degree? What is it in? Did you go the traditional route or did you do it online? I’d love to know!
I actually was apart of two graduate programs last year, while teaching full time. �� I love the flexibility you get from an online program! Currently, I am Pershing my Masters in Educational Leadership through an online program. Through taking an online program I was able to finish my Master’s in Special Education this past Spring. ��
I have been wanting to do this with UWA! I can't wait for you to share more info!!
Congratulations! I started this summer too and will finish my first class next week. I’m getting my degree in Administration. I cannot get over how much I have enjoyed it but let’s be real, it’s summer and I had some extra time on my hands. I’m hoping that it’s just as enjoyable and manageable when school starts in August. Best of luck! ������������
Got my masters from UWA. Awesome programs! Super easy to work with. I have a Library Media and Technology degree.
That's awesome! I started my masters this last year online through WGU. I am really enjoying it so far. It was harder than I thought to teach and go to school at the same time, but hoping to make up some lost ground this summer. I am getting my masters in Education, Learning, and Technology, sounds like it may be similar to yours! 🙂 My first set of courses were on instructional design and now I am into my tech classes. Best of luck to you!
Congrats! I am looking forward to your updates. I need to go back and get mine. Hopefully, you will get me motivated to do it too.
