Yes, I think we all need more opportunities to find it in our lives by tapping into our creative sides. I found digital storytelling to be just that process for me, and I hope some of you will decide to construct a digital story in lieu of an end-of-program essay. If you don't get to Bud Deihl's class, we'll help you learn the skills during the capstone course. Hi, Ed,

I must get involved with the next offering from the CTE. Csikszentmihalyi must be the same person who authored "Finding Flow", which I read in Adult Development in your program. It is a wonderful book and provides a bit of a road map to helping individuals find flow in their lives. I have 'found' flow a few times at work, but not often enough. Typically flow comes to me when I'm in the garage doing restoration work on an old car. I've 'come up for air' many times in the garage only to realize it's the wee hours of the morning and I've got to get to bed so that I can get up a few hours later. Flow is a wonderful state of mind! It seems to come to me more often when I'm working on the right / creative side of my mind. Thanks for sharing! Dr. Carter,

I am looking forward to introducing digital storytelling to our learners in the Adult Learning program so they can experiment with this in lieu of a final, end-of-program reflective essay. Not only do I think it will be engaging, but distilling two or two and a half years of learning into a 300 word story means that they will be capturing the most important aspects of their learning experience in a very personal way. I'll let you know how it goes:-) Terry Thanks, Britt.

The line I liked best - "Did you learn as much from me as I did from you?" I tend to think that about all of my classes! Nicely done – thanks for sharing!

Thanks for these comments on the digital story. I do hope you'll join one of Bud's workshops; I think you would enjoy it immensely. I think we all want as much flow in our lives as possible these days! tjc Hello, Erica,
