Great - We start (Week 1)

Here we go!! I haven't read all the articles yet, but after following your comments on Nicenet, I thought to start with introducing you to my "bulb" and the reasons I am so excited to be on this course. 


I am a happily married (most of the time :) ) for about twenty years and a mother of three gifted children. Two of them are also gifted with ADHD (I wonder where did they get if from?! :) ) and other learning difficulties.


In the course of the years I have found that technology is a great help in coping with gifts such as the above. As I mostly teach students/pupils with learning difficulties I try to encourage them to embrace technology for their benefit. Unfortunately, I do not have enough expertise and the resources our school have for technology is rather poor. Most of the pupils, however, do have computers a home.


As I find it easier to learn and concentrate in front of the computer too, I hope to be able to apply the ideas and techniques I will be learning here.


Good luck to all of you and - Robert, thank you very much for your patience help and persistance.
