4th-8th Teacher, Grade Activity Class

South Pekin Grade School Dist. 137, Illinois

What I liked best about the CTER OnLine program: I enjoyed usually being able to complete the classwork when it was convenient for me. I also was glad not to have to make weekly trips to Champaign for classes.

How I managed to fit the coursework into my hectic life: It required a number of changes in my life. I found it necessary to reduce the amount of time I spent socializing with my family. I learned to get along with less sleep (reminded me of my undergraduate days). I had to be more careful about scheduling my time.

CTER OnLine has impacted my professional career in the following ways: In my new position, I will be able to take advantage of some of the technologies we used in this course. It has given me ideas of new ways to incorporate technology into my classroom.

Have you had any major life changes you'd like to share? (marriages, births, new jobs, etc.) As noted above, I have changed classroom assignments within my district.

My most memorable experience in the CTER OnLine program: There were many memorable experiences during this program. I think the most memorable was having the opportunity to work with the Field Museum to create assessment instruments for their online activities about Sue.
