The Art of Having it All- Christy Whitman

THE ART OF HAVING IT ALL: A Woman’s Guide To Unlimited Abundance by Christy Whitman is a book that Christy wrote based on her personal experience.

Through the seven chapters in the book Christy guides one through defining what it means to have it all on a personal basis to manifesting it out until you achieve it.

It’s all in your mind. If you dare to dream it you will be able to conceptualize it and make it come true. One has just to work on your idea and it is possible for it to become a reality.

To be able to move from the drawing board to creating a blueprint to work, on one must have a clear idea of where she is currently in life and the place she would like to be at. Self reflection is necessary to be able to know what we truly want in our life.

By mediating on where we are currently in life we get to understand ourselves better and know what we actually need vs what we want.

We re calibrate ourselves to accept changes and open ourselves up to more possibilities which are obtainable.

My Thoughts

I found Christy’s book a refreshing read. It made me reflect on where I personally am currently in my life and whether I am heading in the direction which I want to and whether I do HAVE IT ALL.

It is possible to have it all and also be at peace with oneself. We need to know exactly what we want so we can achieve it.

Do pick up a copy of THE ART OF HAVING IT ALL: A Woman’s Guide To Unlimited Abundance by Christy Whitman if you are seeking to HAVE IT ALL.

Cybertraps for Educators

Cybertraps for Educators

Cybertraps for Educators by Frederick S.Lane is a must read for all educators who want to know more about the dangers of the use of modern technology. The internet is a large part of our lifestyle nowadays. We use it in both our work and home for many different purposes and should be well aware of the traps and perils of it’s usage.

The twenty three chapters in the book comprises of case studies and problems that educators faced during their career relating to the use of the internet inside and outside the workplace.

Cyberloafing, Cyberporn, cyberstalking, cyberbullying and sexting are topics that are covered in detail. All these have serious repercussions for the individuals who are involved in these illegal activities. An educators career is at stake if he/she is caught guilty or implicated in of any of the crimes mentioned above.

It is one thing to be social and another thing to have your live out your life under the microscope being a “celebrity” due to the wrong reasons. Once you fall into such a trap it is certainly very hard to escape from it.

My thoughts

Technology and it’s accessibility can be a double edge sword for educators. It can be use for as a means to source for additional teaching material. It can enhance the learning experience for the students through the use of various online programs or apps.

It is used for stimulating interaction between students and enhancing their ability to understand certain concepts that were being taught.

All these are good and beneficial however there is a fine line between using it for good and being harmed by it’s usage.

Educators need to know where that LINE is and the need to keep certain information private and away from the prying eyes of colleagues and students.

Whatever we put out in the WWW has to be seriously scrutinized before we press the button publish.

I found this book a thought provoking read and it really shows the dark side to using online social media and having a public online profile as an educator.

If you are interested in reading in detail about the various Cybertraps do grab a copy of Cybertraps for Educators from Amazon.
