It's MOOC time

It's Friday here and the beginning of another round of blogs for educational purposes. This blog was initially set up a couple of years ago for the purposes of my graduate studies in curriculum and instruction. It was a then and it is now a wonderful way to document my learning experiences. I've sporadically used it to continue gathering all things in the field of educational technology. I've linked the other sties I use to do this as well. And from time to time, I have used it to let off some steam. Today's post will be brief, answering the following questions: Where are you from? I am first generation American. My parents are from Colombia. I was born in New York, NY but spent many years in the San Francisco Bay Area. I currently live in Albuquerque, NM. What's your background? What is your native language? What others do you speak? My native language is Spanish, though I am fluent in both Spanish and English. What language(s) do you teach? I teach Spanish at the high school level. Where do you teach? I teach at an independent school, Sandia Preparatory School, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. What do you hope to get out of LTMOOC? I'm looking to experience the MOOC as a student and evaluate its potential at the secondary level. What hobbies or activities do you like to do? I enjoy travelling as well as working in our garden. My background is in History, Secondary Education, Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on technology. Looking forward to this adventure!
