Hi, everyone and welcome to my blog! I guess I need to post a little something about myself. I have worn many hats in my professional career from interior design, travel and massage therapy. Somewhere along the line, due mainly to raising two children, I started working in dentistry, a great part time profession while raising a family. With all that behind me, I am now reinventing myself, and along for the ride is my trusty canine companion, Sir Walter Raleigh. You will probably be hearing about him alot, we are waiting to begin therapy dog certification training as Raleigh wants to be a library dog. So, we both are in school together and will have rewarding library careers ahead!If you would are interested in dogs in the library check out http://www.librarydogs.com.
My background in technology is close to "0". A year ago, I knew how to send emails and surf around the internet, I always had my son as my go to man. And I still do, thanks to Skype! Now I find myself deep in a language that is competely foreign to me! I feel like I'm on a bike going up a mountain! That's why I'm in this class. I was a bit overwhelmed when I looked at the class syllabus, and I will be asking alot of questions, so I hope all of you dont mind! I try to remember to focus on one thing at a time and build on that! Everyday I learn something new, so its a good day!

I agree with you about the uphill climb on the bike. A lot of this is greek to me but I am willing to learn. Is that what this profession is all about? Seems we are always learning new stuff.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I am in a 90 degree turn, not what I expected but exciting because there is so much to learn!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about finding yourself deep in a language that seems foreign! I am relatively tech savy as far as the basics (the very basic basics) go! I am hoping that some of the info from the articles starts to come together as we go along. I am looking forward to following your blog. I, too, have reinvented myself a few times, from working in the medical field to managing a construction office to accounting to now teaching! And I still don't know what I want to do when I "grow up"! I am hoping to be able to put some of what I learn to use in my math classroom, though!
ReplyDeleteHi! That is so great that you want to train Sir Walter Raleigh as a therapy dog! When I worked as a children's specialist last year, we had a Summer Reading Program that included a visit with two therapy dogs. It was a great experience!
ReplyDeleteAre you in the Atlanta area?? I would love to see someone in action.
ReplyDeleteI do not have much experience in the area of blogging or using the RSS feeds. Actually when it comes to RSS feed I am totally lost because I am at 0 as well. I hope this class gets easy as we go because if not I might start losing my hair.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the idea of pooches in the library, what a brilliant idea!
