My Talk for Delta Kappa Gamma, 1/14/16

Last April, I spoke at the Delta Kappa Gamma state convention in Olive Branch, Mississippi, which you can read about (HERE).    In attendance was Stacy who then invited me to speak at a meeting for her Sigma Chapter of DKG, which is a professional society of women educators.   I was honored to have been asked.

Remember when I talked about the challenges of working with technology?  Specifically, I mentioned how my projector and PA system like to take turns causing me the most grief.  Well, it was my laptop's turn this time.  Last week, it became infected with viruses and malware.  Yes, a mere week prior to  the state convention of Delta Kappa Gamma.  Thank goodness my awesome, talented mama works on computers for a living.  She is totally self taught and can fix everything.  My parents have always been my heroes.

Mama was able to have it cleaned up by Thursday, T-1.5 days until I was scheduled to speak.  And then after I got it back, I discovered that my slides.....just..... weren't.......right.   Thank goodness for Google Drive and Mama's extra laptop!  The files themselves weren't corrupted, so I was able to access my presentation on the other computer......and it functioned!  Hallelujah!   My laptop is more than likely going to have to be reloaded to get everything back the way it was.
