Before the Dawn Before the Dawn by Dean Hughes


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a story of personal and spiritual growth and the role of the Relief Society, set in the early years of the Depression in the Uintah valley of Utah. This is a good read and I highly recommend it. It's good to be reminded, at this point in time, of how much more difficult life was during the Great Depression. It's always good to be reminded that we can all change and improve, that we should not judge people, and the value of working together.

Networked Teacher Diagram - Update

Here's an interesting diagram for the networked teacher. It seems overwhelming and yet, we have people doing all of this. I wonder:
How much we can split ourselves up before we lose ourselves?
How much can we contribute before it's all repetition and drivel?
How much can be linked in before we are burned out?
In our efforts to stay on top of everything, are we beating ourselves down?
