When I became the official CAPS Digital Design teacher, I had a flurry of mixed emotions. Excitement for new possibilities. Hopeful for student engagement. Fear that I wouldn't be a good fit. Discomfort in not knowing what to expect.
We are now seven weeks into our first CAPS semester, and I really couldn't be more proud of my students. They continue to impress me everyday. They are enthusiastic about working on authentic client projects. They work hard to do their best. They openly communicate with me on a number of levels. They work beautifully with each other.
Of all these things, I take pride in the great learning community that has been built here at Shutterfly. I can count on every student to support one another when needed, and that makes me so proud to be here.
