I feel like I am experiencing total immersion in a new language. My brain is on overload and I'm not sure it can handle another new thing. On the other hand, I am thrilled at what I have accomplished thus far. When I look at the pieces I'm collecting for my portfolio, I feel proud. I still feel like a computer dummy most of the time but today was the first time that some of the pieces seem to be actually coming together. I have learned so much in these past three days, it is truly amazing.
It has also been a very humbling experience. I am surrounded by young teachers who take this all in stride like it's no big deal. They actually enjoy playing around on the keyboard! I can't say I'm there yet but I do appreciate their patience and understanding. So thank you Marisa and Ari from the bottom of my heart. I am not at the point where I would feel comfortable teaching my students a lot of these techniques but with my notes, I could probably negotiate some of them on my own. Now if I can just make this graphic organizer I can quit for the day!

Hi Carol,
Well I can honestly say that I relate completely. I do feel so proud of all that I have accomplished thus far and am amazed at the same time! But these other emotions are overshadowing and all emcompassing as I navigate through unfamiliar territory! Good luck on that graphic organizer...that's my next task!!!
Hi Linda,
Me too! I didn't get the graphic organizer done yesterday. I feel a little bit behind but I've had a lot of trouble deciding what I'm going to focus on for my project. Thanks for your encouragement. It helps!! Good luck. We're on the home stretch.
Smiles, Carol
