Always Learning- Nov.2013

Just like everyone else I continue to learn, explore and spread my wings. Working on the Adobe Generation Professional course Digital Creativity in the Classroom has brought more opportunity to explore, play, rejoice, and reflect. Being able to learn along side peers and colleagues from around the globe sharing ideas, techniques, successes and failures is part of what learning and growing looks like in today's world.
I hope the young people I teach continue to stretch their belief in themselves and find that each struggle that may seem like failure is really just the opening of a new adventure. I look forward to sharing many with both my students and others alike.
This was a bit challenging- creating the book trailer. Many challenges and finally some success with a variety of computer and video equipment. Most important was that I learned from the challenge.
