Introduction- Luke Wiggs

Hey everyone I'm excited about getting going this semester! I look forward to working with each one of you and having a successful semester.

A little background info....

I grew up in Peachtree City, GA for most of my life. After graduating from high school I took my gridiron skills to Belhaven College in Jackson, Mississippi where I played quarterback. After realizing I would not get paid on Sundays I decided to transfer to Auburn University where I received my B.S. in Rehabilitation and Special Education in May of 2007. In August of 2007 I started teaching at Woodland High School where I am presently still employed. At Woodland I teach resource mathematics classes, I am a department co-chair of Special Education and in charge of Assistive Technology. In addition to my teaching duties I am the quarterbacks coach of the varsity football team and the head boys golf coach. I also make and edit all of our films for the football program.

Throughout this course I hope to further my knowledge about Multimedia Technologies. I hope to use this knowledge to improve my day to day instruction as a teacher. I also hope to improve my video editing skills as well as find new innovative ways to market our students athletes at Woodland High School. I would also hope that the skills I acquire during the semester will make me more marketable as a professional.

Once again, I'm looking forward to the semester!

P.S. War Eagle!!! 2010 National Champs.

  1. What a nice way to introduce yourself--through pictures! This is similar to one of the assignments you'll have in this course--the digital story. --Diane

  2. Great idea on posting the video of images! Looks like a beautiful golf course- I love playing and I'm fortunate enough to teach a few classes for the community college. I just love working with beginners and giving them a great foundation!

    I look forward to learning with you this semester.

  3. WAAAAAAAAAR EAGLE!!!! What a year!! I made a preemptive apology to all my Facebook friends for all the bragging that would be happening over the next year. After all, when you win a title once every 57 years, you gotta take full advantage of it ;-)

    Very nice job on your introduction. I love playing golf, but I have not been able to nearly as much since my kids were born. Whoever called golf a relaxing sport obviously never played. I get so frustrated but I love it!

  4. Great... Apparently we have not one, but two Auburn fans. This could be a long semester. ;)

    Video editing is one of the things I've been trying - without much success - to learn on my own. Were you talking about video editing skills you already have or ones you're hoping to learn. I'm on a PC and I'm honestly not even sure what software is good to use... Any tips?
