Back to College at Age 49 ... I'm an FSU Student!!!

Hi Everyone!

I've decided to go back to school at age 49!!!  Can you believe it?  I want to earn a Master of Science in Information Technology.  To get acclimated to online classes, I've enrolled in EME2400 - Introduction to Educational Technology.  I've wanted to go back to college for a LONG time to pursue a Master of SOMETHING!  I've let my fear of dealing with ADHD hold me back but now it's full steam ahead!

 I come from a family of educators but I do not have formal teaching experience.    My entire IT career has revolved around educational entities.  I'd like to put my IT experience and knowledge to use working with children and/or the elderly.   People ask me for help with computer stuff all of the time.    I've run a computer lab that was grant funded in the past (located in a local housing project).  I work at FSU - Northwest Regional Data Center, which is a part of Information Technology Services.

I hope to learn how to teach children and elderly people with technological tools.  One day, my goal is to write grants and provide a space for encouraging children and the elderly that have learning challenges to embrace computing as a means for mastering their interests.

Thanks for following along on my journey!!!
