Okay SO, my son has finally decided what he will do after graduation. He will be serving our country. So guess what, that means I will have an incredible amount of ME time on my hands. Time that I need to use wisely; After all I am no Spring chicken. I have to get busy and reach the goal that I was supposed to achieve 7 years ago: a PhD.
After a lot of research and soul searching I have decided on ODU's PhD program in Education, Occupation and Technical Studies. This is a MAJOR milestone for me; Miss wishy washy when it comes to the school and the concentration....WOO HOO!
The ODU University Department of STEM Education and Professional Studies

What will be new in 2010?
2009 has passed and what can I say other than “sigh” and at the same time give a sly grin. The year started off with me basically not moving forward and staying that way the entire year even though there were numerous charlatan attempts to do so. The year ended with me not being pleased at all. However, at the same time I am thankful for opportunities that were presented just in time; even though they didn’t match up with my ultimate goals.
Don’t get me wrong; the last half of 2009, I was truly blessed. I had a heavy load taken away from me as a result of hard work. At the same time, even though I obtained opportunities previously not presented, I still remained basically in the same place.
So here I am in 2010 and I ask what will I do to move forward? Stay tuned…
SN - In 2009 I did finally move forward in the vehicle department...

LinkedIn for Networking and Knowledge
A few years ago one of my former co-workers sent me an invite to join her LinkedIn network. I skeptically accepted the invitation. I am not a big fan of social networking sites such as Myspace or the other one that I cant think of the name right now...that's another topic for a different blog. Anyway, I joined, filled out my profile and then sent some invites to some people that I knew. Before I knew it I had a modest size network of friends, college buddies, coworkers and former coworkers. It was interesting to watch as others built their networks and the types of professions that were within their networks. I then discovered LinkedIn groups and was definitely hooked. I have learned so much from the people and resources that are in those groups. As a result, I find myself using LinkedIn as one of my main self development tools.... Thanks Nakiesha.
Great Resource
I discovered this via one of my groups on LinkedIn. This is a great resource on the latest thats going on with k-20 education. On top of that, the subscription to the hard copy of the magazine is free. Check it out.
