I want a job that lets me combine a few things that I love: Social Studies, technology, photography, graphic design and lesson design. Most of these things are already part of my job (maybe because I find a way to make them fit), but I could sit all day and do this.
I want to make lessons and activities that look cool - lessons that will challenge kids - lessons that they'll want to do because it doesn't look like a boring worksheet. Ideally these would be Social Studies lessons, but if I had uninhibited access to willing content expert, I'd do this for anyone.
I want to make peoples' presentations make sense and look good. Every time I see someone presenting I'm secretly judging and critiquing their presentation. Are the colors complimentary? Is everything aligned appropriately? Is it balanced? Is there a cohesive theme, and are they sticking with it? Paying attention to those meticulous little things is fun to me.
People need and want posters and flyers to promote things going on at their campus. I want to make them. I want to research the latest trends in graphic design design and teach myself how to do what professionals do.
Does this job exist in the education world?? Maybe bits and pieces here and there. But for now, this gig is pretty awesome, and there's not a whole lot that I would want to change about it. I feel like I'm living the dream.
