Learning Essentials

The other day, I received my certificate of completion for Teaching and Learning Essentials Class from Mercy College.

During this two night class, we learned how to create our very own e-portfolio which included our teaching philosophy. We learned the basics of Instructional Design for lesson planning.

We also covered different types of interactive learning activities, which I will be using some of them in my classes throughout the new semester.

Since my major was not education, I am really glad that Mercy College offers these teaching incentives for adjunct professors.

I have found that one’s education is all about what you make of it. Sometimes things, like learning new skills, can be a daunting task.

However, I know that nothing in this world is impossible for our God! Even if means for me, to develop more successful ways to teach others.

We only need to tell God our problem that is puzzling us. We must ensure to include Him in the equation.

You can rest assured that Jesus will give you godly wisdom and knowledge to find the right answer to solve it.

STEM Teaching

Wow, I am officially part of SUNY Ulster adjunct faculty staff and in their STEM department on behalf of Hudson Link for Higher Education, The abbreviation of STEM stands for the subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEM learning objectives include intellectual curiosity, problem-solving, and communication.

Thanks to my Dad, I was always curious how computers worked. He often took us to work to see the latest computer technology from punch card machines, magnetic tape recorders, large data centers, to super mainframes. It is no wonder, that later on our family opened and operated a computer repair & consulting business that served the tri-state area for over 25 years.

I am confident that my many years of computer experience and web knowledge that I gained through education has prepared me for this moment in time. My goal is to guide college students to gain the necessary business computer skills to successfully use today’s technology and application software, as well as, possibly become part of the creating tomorrow’s innovation.

If you can’t tell, I am super excited for next week’s Spring 2019 semester to start.
