Thank you, Alan G, for sending links to your blog. It looks interesting, and
I plan to read through later this evening. I also hit the send button
prematurely - forgetting to identify myself yesterday in a post to this

I have reactivated a blog that I started as a grad school assignment

entries from people with fresh ideas for drop out recovery programs
especially - but all ideas related to teaching and technology can be
entertained.
The social networking that is so important to success for youth is also
important for me - but I find I have to push myself to get started.
I do not fit the blogger stereotype you so aptly describe - I am a single
working mother from a hill tribe village and the only member of my family to
attend college (so far). My blog:
