What I have learned the past weeks, when life gives you lemons make lemonade. I know it is cliche, but it is so true. It is important to find the silver lining in the day. This post has nothing to do with instructional design, but life in general. Life is hard right now. I am fortunate that both my husband and I are still employed and that I am able to work from home and home school my children. OK, I am not really grateful to be homeschooling my children, but there is no real alternative. I finally get to see what they are learning, because usually they tell me “stuff and junk”. I am been able to help their teachers navigate Canvas, as they do not use it frequently and are now forced to house all their curriculum on it. It is important to watch out for each other right now, because you never know when they might need a hand.
OK, now on to school. I have been working on finishing up content creation and putting my portfolio together. I knew I had to put a portfolio together, but this is probably something I should have been working on throughout my entire time in this program and not just the last weeks. I have learned that I should have probably put more effort and care into my blog posts, as they probably would have helped me out with my portfolio creation. I have learned, that I can do this, I will finish, and we will all survive.
