Really happy to be back in the saddle, so to speak. After years of dancing on the educational stage as a teacher for the library system, I am now a student again. It feels good. Time spent as an instructor has transformed me into an engaged and curious scholar. Who knew?
My hope is that these classes in Instructional Design from Rollins will allow me to help the Library system move towards a more current method of conducting technology courses for the public.
I see certain trends in attendance and student retention that would dictate a move towards a more more hybrid approach of Mobile Learning and traditional classroom instruction. The Library could benefit from a more Flipped Classroom approach, with a focus on helping patrons succeed on their own projects rather than just give them training, exercises, and then send them on their way.
We want to create Lifelong Learners, and help them gain access to the knowledge they need to succeed in their personal endeavors now and in the future.
