Emerging Technologies


Hello Dr. C. & Classmates,

My name is Gracesinda Duran and this is my first blog.  Honestly I was nervous about doing this but here goes. 

I am going to tell you a little bit about myself.  Well first of all I live in the Dominican Republic and have lived here for almost 5 years. Yes, it is very different than living in the US and it has been very challenging for me.  My husband of 32 years and I decided to retire here after losing everything due to the market crash.  We have two beautiful children, our daughter Stephany who is a Paralegal and lives in Tampa, Florida and our son Luis Miguel who is married and has a beautiful wife and son.  He as well lives in the Dominican Republic.  He works and is studying to be an architect.

After living here for 2 years bored out of my mind I decided to further my education.  I have a BS in Business Administration (1999) from Florida Metropolitan University and a Master in Business Management (2015) from Walden University and now going for my second Masters in Adult Education.  My dream is to open up my own English School here in the Dominican Republic and to make a change in a least one person’s live.  Education has always been important to me and I believe that no matter what your age is, it is never too late to learn. 

I started this blog because it was required of us for this 1st week’s second discussion.  The object of this blog is to post weekly about emerging technology trends we learn about and how they can be used with our adult learners currently or in the future. 

I am nervous and stressing already about this course.  I am looking forward to working and learning for each of you. 

Thanks,                     

Gracesinda
