| Claudette and Dr. Kirkland, Very Proud! |
First, I would like to congratulate Claudette Williams on completing Microsoft's "Digital Literacy" curriculum and obtaining a certificate of achievement.
Claudette started with me at the beginning of this short summer semester, my first ever as a teacher. Claudette is a retired school teacher of 28 years. She taught Early Childhood Education. She bravely undertook the Cybersecurity program even though it is outside her level of comfort. In fact she has very little, if nothing, in her background to prepare her for this class. So, if anyone thinks that they cannot change careers and do so successfully; Think again. Claudette entered the program with an open mind, a desire to learn, and a willingness to work hard. And she is succeeding.
But aside from celebrating Claudette's victory, I want to tell you about how we as a class worked together to make this happen.
We used tools like class discussions and interactive whiteboard activities to have the more experienced/advanced students explain the concepts. In doing so, they have just as much to be proud of as I do. And in the process they reinforced their understanding of the subject. Being able to teach others is a true indicator of comprehension.
Go Team! We have all succeeded.
