New Year--Fresh Start

Year one is in the books, and we're ready to start a new year. There are many changes with the coming of the second year of Game Design at Tygarts Valley. It's been a challenging, but exciting, journey. I have been through the entire spectrum of emotions in teaching this class from utter frustration to extreme joy, but I have survived to live and teach another year. And, from what the "old timers' have told me, next year will be easier, much easier. I am looking forward to this.

I hope I can remember what I learned from the past year. I am going to be a mentor and so the pressure is on. I have to help the new teachers so they will not be so overwhelmed and frustrated. Maybe it's just the nature of the beast. But, what you have learned, you can share with others, and it can be helpful. I still feel unprepared, so I will try again to do my best to teach the class. There will may never be a time when I feel confident with the content. And, I might as well get used to that. I will learn and facilitate and be content with that.

To all Globaloria educators new and experienced, I wish you great success in your classrooms!
