Educating the Technologically Challenged
I have been officially accepted into the Instructional Design Master's Degree program at Utah State University. This is a great example of how my life can be so ironic. This degree...which I will eventually use to work as a technology consultant to increase productivity in the business world...will be earned by someone that only a year ago started using a cell phone - after years of dragging my feet amongst pressure from family and friends. I have always considered myself technologically challenged...slow...and altogether behind-the-times. So why earn a degree in technology??? Well, ironically, it turns out that even though I'm slow on the uptake, I'm apparently good at it and I like it. (I was advised to look into this program by my current boss...who sees more in me than I do, I guess.) After studying what the program is about, I believe that I will love using technology to teach and help others to reach their full potential. Sign me up!! I just think it will be odd to have someone ask me for technological advice and then actually know the answer. Soon, I'll have to reposition my outlook on life...one from being technologically challenged to the savvy...this could be scary!

My dear, refer back to most of my posts and the responses. Fear is the enemy. Dream the Dream.
And my post. You can always change. Never stop learning and changing.
