I'm proud to say I've gotten a "second wind"! After getting bogged down in summer "school stuff", I've finally had time the past few days to work on adding some of the ideas I gathered while in New York into my fall courses. I am SO excited! Just this morning, I created a Jeopardy game using a PowerPoint template (Walter, I found one through a Google search that a Wake Forest math teacher designed and allows others to modify from hers - YEA!!!) It looks SO cool, and I'm even working on making up one for another one course. AND, I (hope) I have found some software from Google called Sketchup (at www.sketchup.com, if anyone's interested) that will, at least, get me started on my idea of the 3D house students can use to assess their home health patient. This was my "idea" for one of our first assignments, and I posted about it in, I think, my very first BLOG. Maybe I won't need so much help from those computer geeks after all (or am I becoming one!!?? :)
Well, I must get back off to work since I seem to be on a roll!! Hang in there, guys!

About Me
- Cathy OT
- I have been married to my high school sweetheart for over 22 years, and we have (had) 3 beautiful children. Our first, Weston, was only with us for a short 18 months before we lost him to a heart defect; our daughter, Ali, is 12, and ours son, Cole, is 9. They keep us very busy with all of their school and sports related activities. We live in the country outside our small hometown of Union Springs, Alabama, and enjoy God's wonderful nature on our farm where our "critter" family ranges from cats and dogs to horses, donkeys, chickens and rabbits.

Hey! I like you being on a roll! I saw your comment on otility.com and I was tickled that you are my long-winded soulmate. You seem to have some really innovative ideas, I am impressed. Now you just need to get technologically savvy enough to carry them out. Keep up the good work, I'm going to add you to my blog sidebar when I get home tonight.

Hey Cathy
How have your plans for developing the course gone? You've not added to your blog - but perhaps you're overwhelmed with teaching? This is just a quick note to say hi and to encourage you to keep going!
Hello!
I wasn't able to locate your email so I thought I'd leave a comment. Given the ever growing need for Occupational Therapists, I put together an article with a list of financial aid options for those hoping to enter the field. If you wouldn’t mind, could you share my article with your readers?
Here's the post:

Many thanks!
