Sometimes it takes a while to get dreams started. I knew for a long time that I had big and evolving dreams, but it wasn't until recently that a friend helped me to put my dreams into words. What I yearn for every day of my life, past - present - and future, is to help people. I want to make a difference especially in the lives of children. That is my passion! It is what drives me to do more.
I graduated with high honors from high school (1974), cum laude from college BS El Ed (1977), 4.0 from grad school with M. Ed. T&C and Reading Specialist (1991) but still I wanted more. I started a doctorate at PSU (2004) and an instructional coaching certificate (2008) at Wilkes, but my path finally solidified in the doctoral program (Ed D) through Drexel, in a cutting-edge blended program. I am just now begining the second quarter of the program, and I am immersed in my passion as I discover the new realities of this exciting time of innovation and rapid change in education. This is an exhilarating time to be an educator! I find myself wishing I could turn my biological clock back twenty years so I could realize more of these changes in my lifetime!
In any case, on with the journey. I will add posts as I continue this journey. Please join me.

Dreams
I started this blog today for two reasons. First, I want to document my learning journey toward my doctorate. Secondly, I would like to learn more about the potential of social networking tools such as blogging, wikis, moodles, podcasts, etc. I hope you will visit my blog from time to time to add your own thoughts as well as to add any progress you are making toward your own dreams.
