What does it mean to "Go West" at the University of West Georgia?
For Jonathan Stroud, going west is about taking big leaps.
I started out by teaching high school journalism in Georgia.
Then I decided to broaden my horizons, that lead me to teaching in the United Arab Emirates.
I'm the first person in my family to even have a passport so this was huge!
Then this summer, after three years in Abu Dhabi, I got an email from a school in Alaska.
One very long distance phone call later my wife and kids and I were packing our bags to move to a 900 person village in the Alaskan bush.
Part of what made this possible is my master's degree in Instructional Technology from West Georgia
and the media specialist certification I'm finishing now.
Thank goodness for online learning! Its been an adventure and we're loving every minute of it.
