Welcome

Choosing an area of study for my master’s work should have been easy–right?  After all, as a teacher the natural path would have been to get an advanced degree in literacy or curriculum.  It would have been easier if I  followed the path of my colleagues.   They wanted to earn top dollars as teachers with a masters degree.  So, for the most part they paid a lot of money to National University and recieved a MA in some field. By now they’ve forgotton what it was about-but heck they are making more money and that’s what counts–right?

Money didn’t drive my decision to pursue an MA.  My husband and I managed our household and children on the money we made.   I wanted my next degree to be something completely exciting and challenging and something that I could savor and love for a long, long time.

I knew that it would take me double the time to finish my program because of my responsibilites at home with my children and with my students.   I didn’t want to rush through the program-I wanted to take it slow and savor each class and the experiences of the learning community.  So, on the day that I became part of the EDTEC community at San Diego State, I knew I had made the right choice.  I know the best things in life aren’t about money.
