So what an I thankful for? I finally defended my doctoral dissertation this month!! When the next person yells out in a restaurant, "Is there a doctor in the house?" I can reply, "Sort of?" A number of "real doctors" have told me my kind of doctorate i recently earned is harder to get than their degree which is quite a compliment, but honestly, I think I'd rather have their salary than the compliment.
At any rate, in keeping with the open source mentality that inspired the development of this blog almost three years ago, I will be posting my doctoral dissertation in the coming week for anyone who might be interested in learning from my research in order to take this whole mobile technology thing to the next level. I hope my research continues to encourage people around the world to conduct action research and full blown empirical studies to identify best practices in the use of technology in education settings. The conversation and collaboration have been rich. I hope they will continue. Stay tuned for a posting letting you know where you can find my dissertation.
So now that I have my doctorate, what an I going to do when I grow up? That's a good question. Still trying to figure out if I even want to grow up...
