I have both your blog and Michele's on my igoogle next to my e-mail, so it is convenient for me to see what you are blogging about.<BR/><BR/>One thing I like about both your blog and Michele's is that you blog about a wide variety of topics, some of which I would never have thought of but really interest me (like the one on the new nano-chip).V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513616792028141844.post-80921300026780295362008-12-10T03:32:00.000-05:002008-12-10T03:32:00.000-05:00Kia ora Virginia!It's been great to share our expe...Kia ora Virginia!<BR/><BR/>It's been great to share our experiences across the globe! We must make a resolution to keep this up in 2009, as Michele suggests (thanks Michele!)<BR/><BR/>The wonderful thing for me is, though we don't always agree, me you and Michele, that we can have a lot of fun discussing and sharing our opinions - AND HOW RICH IS THAT!<BR/><BR/>Haere rā<BR/>from Middle-earthBlogger In Middle-earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722634477041121797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513616792028141844.post-41086210414225786572008-12-09T16:35:00.000-05:002008-12-09T16:35:00.000-05:00Michelle, yes, it has been useful for me to go bac...Michelle, yes, it has been useful for me to go back to that part of my work. I have always been a researcher and analyst at heart. I strongly believe in a person's gut instinct, followed up with a more formal search. Unfortunately, academia does not always allow you to do that or give an instructor credit for the "gut".<BR/><BR/>Anne Marie, <A HREF="http://brandon-hall.com/janetclarey/" REL="nofollow">Janet Clarey</A> and <A>Karyn Romeis</A> have also integrated their struggles of work, family, and advanced degrees on their blog. I am lucky that I live in an area with many universities where I could find a program that would let me do what I wanted. Unfortunately, this also means that to find a full time job teaching in higher ed, you need those three little letters behind your name!V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513616792028141844.post-26900346698810370922008-12-09T14:11:00.000-05:002008-12-09T14:11:00.000-05:00Hello again VirginiaI've been thinking a lot about...Hello again Virginia<BR/><BR/>I've been thinking a lot about the differences between the two kinds of research you describe. I've been wondering about registering for a PhD but wonder how I would cope.... I think I could follow your example:)<BR/><BR/>I hope to read more from you about this. I wonder if others feel this tension.<BR/><BR/>PS Generally great post:)Anne Marie Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289974924032448531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513616792028141844.post-90144765730397785912008-12-09T12:44:00.000-05:002008-12-09T12:44:00.000-05:00Virginia, I'm glad that you've shared so many of y...Virginia, I'm glad that you've shared so many of your real-life experiences and observations from the classroom. To me that's a very rich source of learning, a form of experimentation that's very necessary at this stage. I hope it's something that you continue to do in 2009!Lovekandinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971255476487539791noreply@blogger.com
