Yearbook CTER 5

2002 ~ 2004

Josh Brown

Graduate Student/Staff

Purdue University

What I liked best about the CTER OnLine program: I liked the flexibility of the program. Being located in a rural area, I was able to obtain my masters degree without a long commute to a local university or college. I also enjoyed the application of the course work to my "real world" experiences. I was able to use almost all of the projects I developed for the CTER program in the courses I was teaching at the high school level.

How I managed to fit the coursework into my hectic life:
I would usually pick on night or afternoon a week to dedicate time to work on projects and complete readings. My wife was very supportive of the program, which I feel is very important.

CTER OnLine has impacted my professional career in the following ways:
I decided to continue my education and work on my PhD in Curriculum Studies at Purdue University.

Have you had any major life changes you'd like to share? (marriages, births, new jobs, etc.) I went from teaching high school technology education courses to teaching an introductory education course for pre-service teachers.

My most memorable experience in the CTER OnLine program:
Working in the EDPS 313 course. I enjoyed the different projects completed and the online lectures by Prof. Burbules.
