We’ve read numerous times about how distance learning has helped students all over the world achieve their dreams. But what happens if you are an instructor who is deployed overseas? Well, if you are Cheryl J. Wachenheim, you make it work. This online instructor from North Dakota was deployed to Iraq and didn’t miss a beat. After buying the communications infrastructure to make it happen, she continued to teach economics classes. Read the story here.
I also recently found an article that applies to me. School is replacing the workplace for many people in this economy. I’ve always thought that the only two constants in a down economy is an uptick in the crime rate and more people going back to school. I am not sure about the former, but the latter is certainly happening now. I am certain that with distance education making leaps and bounds over the past five or ten years is contributing to that. I am happy to see so many people investing in themselves. Read the story here.
On the job front, I am still looking. I have a phone interview this week with a company that I would really love to join! They are on the cutting edge of digital publishing and would be a great field to get into. Pretty soon I want to outline the thought processes of someone who is out of work and going to school at the same time. Finding a job is hard. School is actually less interesting than in the past. At the same time, I know I need to do the right thing. More on that later.
