The good news: I’ve accepted a great position at Franklin Pierce University, as a full-time learning specialist. The not so good news is that this will prevent me from teaching my Thinking and Writing course, A Blog of One’s Own, in Fall 2008.

I’m excited to have an opportunity to serve academia and get benefits, an office, and a regular salary. Of course, it’s bittersweet not to get to teach the blog class or Women’s Studies–they’re both exciting and challenging courses.

At Franklin Pierce, I hope to continue to incorporate social media into my work, but am not sure yet how I’ll do that or on what platform I’ll maintain my online presence–I start the new job next week and will see then what’s in use at the school.  If they don’t have academic tech I might use Netvibes  or Pageflakes.

There’s a possibility I’ll be able to teach at Keene State in the spring or summer–we’ll see how it goes. I love the classes I get to teach at Keene.
