EDLD 5398 - The Final Course

I have just finished up my coursework for graduate school.  I have mixed feelings as it comes to a close.  On one hand I am looking forward to having some free time and to read a book or two for fun.  On the other hand I have enjoyed the challenge of learning new things, having to write and proving that I am capable of earning a master's degree.

This final course brought the pieces together for the administration part of the degree.  I have a better understanding of the domains and competencies of the administrator.  I do wish some time was spent on the Educational Technology side of the degree, as that part was largely ignored in this coursework.  I do know that the technology side of things is my strength and I am confident in those abilities.

I am not sure what the future holds for me with my soon to come degree.  I know that as the mom of a 5 and 7 year old I have a long haul ahead of me as "mom" that I am looking forward to. I am proud of myself for starting this program and seeing it through, so a life goal is accomplished.  I will also continue to work within the Instructional Technology Department to provide leadership when needed and keep my eyes open for opportunities.
