That was great, Barb!

If you are reading this, you have successfully made it through the first attempt I have ever made at teaching professional development. I wonder how it went? Were you fascinated? Did it revive your joy of learning? Are you silently mocking me as you read this? Oh, to see the future.

Anyway, the purpose of this blog is to allow you to have the information that has surely already fallen from your brain at your fingertips. (And I mean the information is at your fingertips, not your brain is at your fingertips.) So I will outline what we should have gone over and I will give you the necessary links to find these research portals.

The obvious difficulty is that with a blog, the most recent information is at the top and the oldest posts are nearly impossible to get to. Which means the very words I am typing now - my first of this venture - will be virtually smothered by the stuff I will write later. If I can technologically change the order of the posting, than I will. (And so if this appears at the beginning of the blog, you should be very impressed right now!) If not, I will make a final post with live links to each and every post so that your navigation will be easier.

And so, we are off on the adventure of research in the humanities... (insert old fashioned science fiction movie music here)
