Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:44:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kate http://www.teachersatrisk.com/2008/03/02/510/comment-page-1/#comment-30197 Kate Fri, 01 Aug 2008 17:19:43 +0000 http://www.teachersatrisk.com/2008/03/02/510/#comment-30197 Due to circumstances beyond my control I am a networked teacher in yet another way. I rushed to send in my paperwork for teacher recertification just before the due date. Sadly, I received notice that I didn’t have as many credits as I thought. I frantically scoured the internet trying to find quick, inexpensive courses accepted by my state, Georgia. I happened across KDS (Knowledge Delivery Systems.) I was able to get the credits I needed from the comfort of my own home for only $60 a course. I watched an online video, took a quiz and proceeded on to the next lesson. At the end of the course I sent in a “final” exam and was awarded the credit for that course. I was able to get the credits needed for my recertification in the short amount of time I had. Check it out at www.kdsi.org. Due to circumstances beyond my control I am a networked teacher in yet another way.

And if you turn to the networks of people out there, who are so incredibly generous with time and advice, then you will be on the path that you seem to want to be on. Thanks for the video -- I had not seen that one before, I don't think. Have a great day Kevin I think patience and experimentation and openness to new ideas is the key here.

I adore my personal learning network and learn so much from it everyday. It's also pleasure to pay it forward and help others too. You're so right when you say that teachers are lifelong learners - and I don't think I'd want to be anything else right now! So glad that you are no longer feeling like a newly-landed immigrant.
