Continued learning:
 Just as I want my students to be life-long learners, I also make sure that I am continually learning. I took a Blackboard training course this summer. This fall I completed the adjunct certification course at Lone Star: Kingwood. I am presenting at several conferences in the spring and am looking forward to learning from the other presenters at those conferences. And I have been doing focused reading on multimodal classes and the newest research in medieval literature, focusing on Judith. In addition, I am writing a paper for publication on Gulliver’s Travels and am learning quite a bit through that as well.
Learning is a responsibility, a privilege, and a great deal of fun. I want my students to realize that and have experienced it in my classroom. Â
