Me, Educating – Odd? No, not really

Posted on Aug 28, 2009 10:31:42 PM

I discuss quite frequently how I don’t think I am really cut out for homeschooling.  I’ve taught various ages ranging from kindergarten through grade twelve.  And, honestly, I didn’t like it.  To say I didn’t enjoy it is a drastic understatement.  However, in the last couple of months, I’ve been given the opportunity to teach and this time the students are adults.

And, thus far, I’ve taught a couple of sessions online through webinars and I’ve taught a short bit at the parent teacher meeting this week where my son goes to school. 

And, honestly, it was heavenly.  So, I have one ebook available on Jerri Ann and I am available to set up webinars at the request of students.  Throw in a side of teaching for Online Solutions and Capella University and you’ve got one busy schedule.  And to think I didn’t even mention the parenting classes that I’m teaching at the school for parents who aren’t computer savvy but want to learn to use the school systems student monitoring system.

And with that, I dip my hat into a new pond…

We make majors moves around here..

I get to embrace my inner educator this week.  In more ways than one, I am going to be teaching yet again.  Yes, I’m running a few educational webinars and writing some ebooks but other than that…I’m teaching a little session to a group of parents this week regarding their child’s educational records. 

Our school system using a common system that the parents can log into and check out, grades, attendance, notes from the teacher and more.  So, I’m going to show some folks how to make that work.  I am looking forward to that.  I like teaching adults.

And, naturally there is the never ending list of homework that comes home each night.  I mean, honestly, is it possible that we can keep up this pace all year?  If you think I’m joking, you should take a poke around the first grade site I designed. 

Let me know, what do you think?
