Teaching is my passion and I have thoroughly enjoyed introducing my students to the IT field using these courses. In the Unit 2 of the Principles of IT course activity, they are asked to create a website using Google Sites. My students loved this activity. In fact, my students were so excited about creating their own websites that they asked if they could share their websites with one another. My students had a blast sharing their websites and were so encouraging to one another. I have had students tell me how much they love my class and they regularly thank me for teaching them. This is what makes my job so rewarding.

Having a system that is easy to work with and can adapt to the specific needs of a class is invaluable. I work with a number of students who have learning disabilities and special needs. I worked with our Parish online program director, our eDynamic Learning representative, and special education teachers to formulate a plan to accommodate those students so that we could facilitate their learning while setting them up for success. We worked on a plan to modify assignments and oriented observers that could assist the students. This has resulted in faster evaluation of work submitted and better communication between the instructor, observers, and students. The success rate of the students has increased significantly since this collaboration.

As a teacher and parent, I love to see each step we make toward teaching and learning in the 21st Century (we’ve been in it for 21 years) and I love to see the exciting opportunities all our students, including my son, have that I didn’t have in high school. eDynamic Learning does so much to challenge teachers, ignite learning, and prepare students for a future that doesn’t exist. I’m grateful that Kodiak High School offers the nexus of high quality, passionate teachers and the most up to date and engaging content eDynamic Learning has to offer. It’s incredible to see where it is happening and now the door is opening to move this forward in more classrooms.

eDynamic Learning courses are entertaining and well-designed. They encourage students to explore facets of their interests that they may otherwise not be able to explore; this allows students to learn something that tracks with what they may intend to do in the future. I use my eDynamic Learning courses to enhance the growth mindset of my students. The content is fascinating for the students, and I can help them create practical, modern-day connections between the content and their interests. In addition, because the content is sound and student-friendly to navigate, I can focus my energy on teaching students analysis, communication, and life skills.
