Intro to E-Learning!

This week I started the fourth course in the Educational Technology Masters Degree Program at Louisiana State University. This program has been a great addition to my life as I work towards developing an early literacy preschool curriculum named "The Jolivet Maze: a cheerful path." This semester I am enrolled in Design & Development of Multimedia Instructional Units ELRC 7505 with Dr. Monroe. I am excited to learn e-learning fundamentals and to create tangible e-learning units to use with a preschool curriculum.

How I Will Incorporate Future Artifacts From ELRC 7505 into The Jolivet Maze:

While taking courses at LSU we encouraged to develop artifacts/scenarios based on current projects from our real lives. This has been a great benefit to me as I often use the preschool curriculum and I am simultaneously building a business around as a Lafayette, Louisiana entrepreneur. I am excited for the tangible products I will have upon completion of this course. As well as the knowledge and resources I will use to create more e-learning modules for The Jolivet Maze curriculum.

What You Can Expect In The Coming Weeks:

Over the next seven weeks you can look forward to weekly blog post displaying multimedia artifacts and educational products. I will include comments and analysis regarding how these products support an early literacy preschool curriculum.
