3) & just like no one can just pick up paint brush & be a master artist... Without that teacher/artist to teach us, how can we truly learn?
Just as everyone misquotes Aristotle's "Those that know, do... those that understand, teach," I'm sure people will continue to try to dismiss teachers, forever.

2) "No more teachers, just videos of the best lectures forever!" Every single time, invariably, this new thing means that we can get rid of teachers. I always wonder, what fundamental point are we all missing where we think that teachers can just be canceled like that?

1) So during my graduate program, we did a deep dive on the history of media in education. This "phenomenon" happens every single time a new technology comes around. The invention of the radio = "We'll record the best teachers and then we won't need them anymore!" The invention of the TV... 2-->

Reason 4. For networking opportunities it would provide/has provided. Part of being an expert at something is knowing that you don't know everything. Being able to connect with people all over the world doing similar research is an amazing thing, & the doc has connected me more.

Non-reason 3. To teach at university. Sorry, no desire to ever work at university. I predict that if future-me ever teaches @ a uni it will be for some extraordinary reason, because now-me (& past-me) can't imagine it. I still miss my middle schoolers. But I ❤️ my high schoolers.

Reason 3. The program. I'd been looking for a doctorate for awhile, but I hadn't seen anything that was good for me & my life then. But I found the @UF_COE's #edtech Ed.D. at @UF & it was a perfect fit. Check it out if you're considering: https://education.ufl.edu/educational-technology/ed-d-online/
Online Ed.D.

Non-reason 2. "So you want to be an administrator?!" Absolutely not. I have NO desire, ever. However, if you are in education, that is what everyone will assume when you start a doc. You must want to advance your career in that way, not because you want to improve your practice.

Reason 2. Part J. looking at starting would be an even better idea. If I got a degree with the word "tech" literally in it, maybe it would help. I have since learned that it only helps with some people, but that's another story; this is just a list of why I began the degree.
