Final Thoughts
“Be true to your work, you word, and your
friend.”
Henry David Thoreau
Over the last five semesters, I have gained
valuable skills that have made me a better
learner and a better educator. At one point I
jokingly told a professor that I could now change
the world with PowerPoint. As overstated as my
claim was, I have learned many strategies and
tools that I can use with students and share with
colleagues as a result of my studies in the
Instructional Technology program. From a
personal perspective, I have done my best to
produce quality work; I have remained constant
in my desire and commitment to learn; I have
made a number of new friends...not a bad way
to spend the last two years.
