Welcome to my blog! As I embark on my
final year of my masters’ degree in Instructional Design and Technology, I
invite you to journey with me through this Project Management course. So
far, in week one, I have discovered that project management (PM) is very
similar to instructional design (ID). I have also discovered that one
person may be expected to wear the hat of both the ID and the PM when working
on a design/project.
These courses so far have all been relevant
to my work as a pre-k teacher in a school and it has been exciting to apply
what I have learned to my educational setting. I plan to work in this
setting after receiving my degree and am interested to find out how a project
manager best practices in this setting. Lockit (2000) tells us 'projects
undertaken in education and training environments differ from those undertaken
in business and industry, partly because of the amount of dedicated project
time available' (p.8).
