Last year I wrote that my dream job would be outdoors in Hawaii possibly on a catamaran. I would have 3 classes a day. We would take our water proofed Ipads out work on curriculums laugh have a few "liquid beverages" and somehow change the world in the process. Of course these would be adults, of course we would be collaborative, six sigma experienced project managing real world educators/trainers/life coaches and subject matter experts working on making a difference in the education arena from the middle up and down. I think that is the only way it can be done. And of course I would be the head SME and lead facilitator.
"I am really not joking. This to me would be fantastic."
Those were my exact words.After some retrospect I find that my most exciting job would have to be continuing to work social media technology educating adults. I enjoy finding new tidbits of information, tools and trends and helping adult population learn to use and adapt these tools for themselves particularly when it comes to social media technology and adaptability. I have especially become interested in adaptability for learners covered by the American Disability Amendment Act 2008, although other legislation has been passed with more coverage for this population. The opportunity for more workers with disabilities are out there for "meaningful" employment.
I met a young man with cerebral palsy who writes gaming code. I also met a ward nurse who happened to be paraplegic. Someone had to teach them to intercept the world they live in with the world they work in and I think that is pretty cool.
Now for that catamaran, it will have to wait for my vacations, sabbaticals and times for deep reflection. Otherwise, I will be working with those SME's, working on training or curriculums for corporate, there probably won't be any beverages but triple expresso late with whipped cream, but we will still work to change the world that someone will live in without being limited.
