My recent op-ed article, published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, has helped.  It’s drummed up some activity on the job search front, and I’ve gathered some more.  I’m really hoping to buckle down these next two weeks before school systems start gearing up and setting my mind to finding a position.

I have also been thinking and I believe it would be easy for me to create some sample audio files.  You may have heard of these files referred to as podcasts.  These files would serve as examples of multimedia study materials I would make available to my students regularly.  I will have more on this in the next few days, I hope.

There is another podcast from this show that relates to personal finance and I will dig that one up for a future post.  Enjoy!  I’d love to hear some feedback.
