Week 6: The Finish Line
Wow! The last six weeks in AEDU 209 have been exciting, nerve-racking and informative. I feel like I've gained a wealth of knowledge ranging from how to function within Google, how to create forms, conduct a screencastify, participate in a Voice Thread, create my own educational portfolio and blog. I also now have my own Twitter handle -- I never would have thought. You can find me at @KZINZER5.
I'm grateful for all I've learned here on Wednesday nights. Has it all been easy? No! Definitely not, but I was able to push through and for that, I'm happy and am walking away knowing more than I ever imagined within the technology realm.
I'm excited to keep up with all the skills and applications I've used so I can stay fresh for my upcoming students to deliver the best possible lesson in the best way possible while creating a positive and exciting learning environment.

Week 5: The Good Old Days
The Good Old Days - Missing the Magic!
Do you miss the magic of the good old days? I do. I think back fondly of my childhood while going to school, playing sports and hanging out with friends all while creating memories that I didn't realize I was creating. That's what life is all about -- living in the moment and taking every moment in and making the best of what you're offered.
I love this song by Macklemore and Kesha. The lyrics sum up what it feels like to think back on the good old days. My hope is to create a life for my kids so they can look back on the good old days with a smile. My goal as a teacher is to create a classroom that is impressionable and memorable for my students. I want them to look back on their time in my classroom with fondness. If I can have a positive effect on a few students a year, I've done my job as a teacher.
Just like the song states, I wish someone would have told me that these would be the good old days. If I knew back then, what I know now, I would have changed a few things. Not everything -- but a few things. I feel blessed and lucky to look back on the good old days and feel proud and happy. I've felt some pain and seen some things, but it helped shape who I am today. I miss the magic of the good old days, but I want to live in the moment and create more good old days, so it's time to live life to the fullest and enjoy the ride.
