I have been a kindergarten teacher for 16 years. I now have children of my own and see on a daily basis how they use technology. I decided it was time to return to school myself. I am a currently a graduate student at Full Sail University working towards a Master's Degree in Education Media Design and Technology.

My CBR project focused on kindergarten students and their abilities to complete writing on the computer. My current class of students is not ready to undertake something like this. They lack the basic fine motor skills needed before I am able to allow them to begin writing online.
I have never done anything like this before, so I am a little hesitant as to how it will play out. I do have faith that FSO has done this before and I am sure that I will have plenty of help and assistance along the way. I, of course, have so far...
