With only an elementary level background--I like ELA, (Reading/Writing. I have recently become more comfortable with elementary (5th/6th) Math over the years (lol). But as far as PASSION for topics in educfation field, I am concerned about academic achievement of minority students, character education, classroom management, and high expectations for students. I am currently working on my doctoral research on subsitute teacher training and its effect on student discipline.

Therefore, I am not sure as well as academic content area wise if I have a specific expertise?? I was thinking of going for an additional certification in Middle School extension--but I am not a Science and Math person! I mostly like ELA. Please help!! Any suggestions or advice??

I came across your profile and I must say I am extremely impressed with your qualifications and background experiences in education!! I am just a few years into my teaching, but I too aspire to achieve such great things as you have already accomplished! I am becoming more interested in teaching in the higher education field. What do you suggest I can do to get started? Also, it obviously seems that instuctional technology and web-based education is the wave of the future ( I am attending Nova southeastern Univ for my EdD which is a long distance learning program). But I feel it will always involve those educators who have a basic grasp and are comfortable with computers to really push technology education for our future generation of students to come.

You can share Web Page URLs on Wiziq two ways, in the Chat window or embedded in the ppt. The Chat window turns the URL active.

If there is anything else I can do to help or if you have other questions please let me know?

Sincerely,

Mark Cruthers

With your work in Online (Blended) Learning, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.

I will take a look at the website when I have a chance to give it the proper attention. May I continue to bounce ideas off of you in the future and possibly add you as a friend?

At 12:41pm on September 22, 2008, Carlo A. Conte said…: Dr. Fisher,

Let me first start by commending you on your distinguished career. It is obvious that you are passionate about education and the proper preparation of educators.

I am an assistant principal at a middle school in Nassau County. I have been working diligently over the past few years to integrate technology in the classroom. We have implemented the use of smartboards, elmos and are in the second year of project lead the way. My concern is a common one, how do I encourage the use of these types of technologies with veteran/reluctant staff members? In particular, teachers of mathematics.

Looking forward to the dialogue!

At 10:56am on March 3, 2008, Tina M. Falsitta said…: So far, so good with the online courses. Northcentral courses are individualized and don't have the group work component that many of the other online universities have which works out great for me. I passed COMPS in January, am finishing my research courses and hope to be ABD and start my dissertation by the fall. Did you complete your Ed.D. at Walden? How does facilitating courses at Walden and Argosy differ? Good luck with SL this week, are you attending a face to face training?
