This morning I came across a graphic created by Sylvia Duckworth that was created from a blog post written by Eric Shenigner. It caught me eye because I'm concerned about what I will remember as I grow older. I also wonder what the students will remember as they complete this course and move out into their final placement before they graduate. This graphic is a visual reminder of the importance of the challenging tasks and hard work. As students in this course complete their digital story productions, they can enjoy the celebration and personal satisfaction of creating something unique and meaningful. Their work over the past several weeks would fall into that top category and hopefully they'll remember 90% of what they have created for this course. Writing and producing a digital story is a complex task. Learning to teach is a complex task. Each involves creating something unique that is shared with others. It's a process and a product where reflection is a critical element to ensure improvement. Successful completion of both can leave you feeling euphoric. We will remember this!
