About Me

I'm from a small town in the Florida panhandle, Blountstown (the midpoint between Tallahassee and Panama City). While in this town, I taught mathematics and science at our local high school. I also enjoyed serving as JV volleyball coach and directing 3 musicals during my years at BHS. Basking in the serenity of small town life, I obtained my MS in Educational Leadership and my National Board Certification in Mathematics/Adolescence and Young Adulthood while raising my two little ones and supporting my husband while he was overseas in Iraq. My husband has been temporarily medically retired from the USMC. So, we packed up and moved to Orlando so that he could take classes at UTI. I am pursuing this degree to open new doors and discover new ways to bring education to today's youth.

Wow...now I see what the instructors mean by the steep learning curve for Flash. This is going to take a while, especially if I want to be proficient with Flash by month 6. I'm am really excited that I will be able to use Flash in my online teaching environment once I learn the platform and tools. I spent an hour yesterday practicing with the tools after going through 30 minutes of lessons. I have begun a journey to earn my certificate for Flash.

Tomorrow, I hope to have something to show for my efforts. As of today, I am feeling more comfortable with the file types, toolbars, and workspaces. I was very interested in learning about the differences between bitmap and vector graphics. Being a math teacher, the vector graphics made perfect since. It also sparked an idea that I could use this as a real-life application of vectors for my students. NICE!

Flash Essentials training is 7 hours long. I hope to put a large dent in that number tomorrow.
