Personal Course of Study for Professional Growth

I’m not truly sure of what, “Personal Course of Study for Professional Growth” I would like to follow.  I have thought about this for a few years now.   My thoughts bounce between a few different choices.  As the path begins to reveal itself I plan to gather insight that will better equip me to handle the responsibilities my career places upon me. 

Presently, I have taken classes that deal with technology.  These classes have sparked an interest in the technical and digital side of education.  The future seems to be full of new and profoundly different gizmos and gadgets the flow night and day upon our desktops.  It amazes me the vast amount of tools and resources that are at our finger tips.

This summer I plan to take the Endless Mountain Writing Course.  I think this course will sharpen my skills, as I try my hardest to teach children to write.  It seems ever so often that, I struggle to achieve the same goals with my own writing.

As for the future, I hope that I can sort out the details and begin to head towards the many goals that I have set for myself.
