Where am I in the project?

I have been regretting that I registered for EDIT 7500. This is not a difficult course, but I just don’t have a clear understanding of classroom teaching because I don’t have any practical experience. I am taking this course to learn to help teachers with technology in case I become a technology coordinator, but the ride has not been smooth in the class. I am afraid that I may not be the right fit for K-12 learning environment. Maybe I should consider working for higher education instead of K-12 school environment. I am a little nervous after looking at the three examples in WebCT.

I am only half way done with my lesson planning but I am even more worried about implementing the project. I don’t know any teachers here in Atlanta. Most importantly, I don’t know what students learn in each grade.

It is a shame that I didn’t plan this early in the semester...

In the next two weeks, I will have to find a way to implement my lesson.

Don't get discouraged, Erin! You are doing great, and you're not far from the finish line! What grade level did you do your preplan on? Maybe somebody in class knows of someone who would love to have you as a guest in their room!

I agree with Gretchen! You're so close to being finished! I also think that there are plenty of teachers that would love to have you implement your lesson in the room. Maybe you could call around to some media specialists in your area and see if anyone is interested. You can do it!
