Pursuing a second M. Ed in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on early childhood education aligns with my belief that providing a strong educational foundation during a child’s formative years is crucial for their future success. My choice stems from a passionate desire to improve the quality of early childhood education as well as contributing to the development of innovative programs, best practices, and effective teaching methodologies for young learners.

I had worked as a Pre-K and Kindergarten teacher for close to ten years before I recently took a break out of the classroom to explore homeschooling. I believe that play is the work of childhood and the highest expression of human development, so my students usually spend a major part of the day playing outside.

''Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.'' - John Dewey

The above quote by John Dewey resonates deeply with my personal philosophy as an early childhood educator. I believe that every moment in the classroom is an opportunity for children to be curious, experience, explore, and engage with the world around them. By creating a nurturing and stimulating learning environment, I strive to foster in children, a love for learning that is blended with the joys, discoveries and challenges of everyday life. My goal therefore is to help young children develop the skills, curiosity, and confidence they need to thrive, not just in the future .but right here and now.

In this course, I have learned about and explored the use of range of websites and web-based software commonly referred to as web 2.0 tools and resources. I have learned to use these tools to create instructional and educational contents. These include creating a google form to gather my students information, using Coggle to create a Mindmap for planning my lesson, using Screenpal to create a Screencast where I reviewed a website that is beneficial to my students and above all creating an e-Portfolio with Padlet.

Before I started this course, I was nervous and not sure if I would enjoy the class because I am not so vast when it comes to technology skills (a major reason why I enrolled in the class). I was really worried that I would struggle but I had to challenge my self by enrolling in the class as an opportunity to upskill.

By the first module, I was already impressed with the method of instruction and resources available to support students. There and then, The initial nervousness was replaced with confidence that this course would really be a plus for me. The available resources, samples and tutorial videos helped me to navigate each module and assignment successfully.

I have learned a lot in this course and gained so much knowledge of the new online tools that are very effective in changing the trajectory of my instructional methods within such a short time frame. This course has totally changed my understanding of using new tools for creating online educational materials. I enjoyed the most, the processes of creating my Screencast and e-Portfolio. I am so proud of myself and thankful to the instructors for making this course worth it. I am definitely recommending this course for all students in every field because the knowledge and skills gained in this course is useful for every sphere of endeavor.
