Well, I did it. I started Cycle 1 of my AR on November 14, and did the second part of Cycle 1 on November 26. Everything went so well that I am up to my ears in video and data to crunch before getting my results tallied. However, I just wanted to share the cutest video with everyone from my Part 1of Cycle 1, which I completed on November 14. I was pleased to get a little boy and his mom to use my e-book The Adventures of Little Boat. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the result was nothing short of amazing and just beyond my greatest hopes for a successful 'first run' of my e-book! Watch the fun video below:

EDE-Month 5 Was A Busy Month!
Phew. I've really missed blogging on this site. I finally finished my first draft of my Literature Review tonight, and I realize how much work and editing I still need to do on it. Probably not this go-round though! Yikes. I really need to concentrate on my AR Cycle 1, which commences for me on the day after Thanksgiving...yes, that is really coming up fast, wow!
I'm just thankful to have EDE month behind me, it was a real brain drain for sure! I found this great cartoon by Benjamin in my collection of his academic comics. I like it because it reminds us of how we really need to report our data honestly for our AR's, regardless of the outcome! This one is just so funny, and really very appropriate for going into my Cycle 1!

A Terrific Day For AR References!
Just on the off chance that I might get a reply, I sent an email to a Dr. Michael Bentley http://web.utk.edu/~mbentle1, a super educator and author of subjects environmental for children. I figured "what the heck" and just blasted off an email asking for any other relevant articles he may have written that I could use as support for my AR Lit Review and AR in general. I was planning to use at least one or two of his articles pertaining to Nature Deficit Disorder (NDD) as he calls it...where children don't seem to go out into nature very often these days, and are missing out! Well, I about fell off my chair when I received a reply from the esteemed PhD! Not only did I receive a reply which gave me more information, but Dr. Bentley closed his email with this message:
"Your thesis project sounds interesting and I would love to see it when it is
finished. Good luck with finishing it up."
"Your thesis project sounds interesting and I would love to see it when it is

I feel great to have that validation of my project so early on in the process. It is really inspirational to receive this kind of positive input!
My Photo/Design Work Featured On Blog

This was a neat thing to wake up and find today! With being this busy at FSO, I rarely have time to upload much of my photo composite work anymore! So, it's nice when someone sees my work and 'says something' about it in their blog. Thanks so much to Juli, the blog author, for recognizing me this week!
