My name is Glenn Shelton and I am a eighteen year veteran teacher. Most teachers retire after thirty years of service so I am a "Mid-Life Teacher". Society and education are in a process of transformation in part to the invention of Web 2.0 tools. Many teachers at eighteen years have a tendency to turn a blind eye to the changes around them and continue doing what they have always done. Not me! Follow me as I document the changes I am going through in my career.

Week 1 Post 4
The one thing I took from the Wimba session is the Leadership Project assignment. I knew the CBR project was coming to a head with it being Month 11. However, I didn't know about the Leadership Project and I am apprehensively looking forward to it. The idea of preparing myself for publication or presenting at a regional conference is exciting but daunting at the same time. I look forward to the challenge.
The other thing I am amazed by is the fact that I am in Month 11. After various medical problems and seeing several classmates having to take leaves of absences, I didn't think I would make it on time either. I knew I was working in a limited in window as my oldest has started college and my other two children will start with two years. Financially and age wise, I knew it was now or never. I am glad I chose now!
