Welcome to my blog. This blog will contain post from my Emergent Technologies course which is part of my master course Educational Media Design and Technology at Fullsail University. So during the day I am teaching high school Life Skills special education, and at night I am working on my masters at age 54 and singing barbershop music at night.
I chose Fullsails online masters program because it allowed me to continue to teach full time, sing barbershop and work on my masters. Wow almost a perfect world! Has it kept me busy? YES. Have I enjoyed it so far? YES. This masters program is hard, intense, and full of new and exciting things to learn. I have been able to use some great new webtools like:
Wordle
Popplet
Animoto
iMovie
Edugblog
My days are filled with teaching as many functional daily life skills as I can, giving my special needs students the tools they need to become successful adults as they leave the high school setting. Let's face it I need to have some "me time, so my other passion in life is Barbershop Music. I have a hobby that is one of the four original art forms and I love to sing! That is a picture of my quartet 2nd Opinion, we have been together since 2005 and have finished as one of the top 10 quartets in the state of Illinois.
I hope to share a little of both worlds through this blog.

I love the suits for your barbershop! I would love for you to post a video of y'all singing! My husband sang in a men's barbershop. He loved it! I love barbershop, too!
