Accolades to Education.com--Part of Something Extraordinary

Have you ever begun a project or gotten a gig thinking it will be good to pay some of the bills, but without thinking about the far-reaching effects it might have? Well, I'm lucky enough to be part of the beta-launch of the site Education.com as an ongoing writer. I didn't know the potential of the site when I began writing for them. Today there's a wonderfully positive write-up in the Wall Street Journal and Education.com recently won the coveted DEMOGod award at the DEMO technology conference, alongside such giants as LeapFrog Enterprises.

For me, not only has this been an ongoing gig that helps to pay a few of the bills but a chance to write quality articles about important topics, such as single fatherhood, bibliotherapy, school refusal, school crisis plans and so much more. It's great to feel as though I'm doing good work that has the potential to help parents and educators. I'm so pleased to see the site gaining momentum and recognition and to be part of something extraordinary as it's happening!
