My first plan is to take some time off and spend it with my understanding neglected family. In September, as a continuation of my lifelong learning journey, I will begin taking a statistics course to help with my researching skills.  I found that I was very weak in this area and feel the need to better educate myself with research tools.

Also, I plan to work on gaining more awareness in terms of student barriers. I found that MDDE course concepts activities that surrounded student demographics, accessibility and other common barriers in DE is an area that I would like to explore further.  Whether it is within my community or on a larger scale I recognize the need for a clearer understanding in this area by society as a whole. 

In addition, I plan to review existing online classes with my new found knowledge regarding course design and learning theories.
