This post marks the end of one leg of my journey to get a doctorate in education.

Why am I pursuing this degree in a broken field when I could be doing so many other things that would likely make my life easier?

Play is one of those things like love. It's easy to spot and when we're in the midst of it, we know it, but it's not so easy to define.

This past week I have discovered some new game-changing tools that have made the task of research much more enjoyable for me.

What I like most about this process is that failure is built into the steps.
