My last D was in QBA!

March 18, 2025 By Tamera Alexander

The last D I made was in college in QBA—Quantitative Business Analysis, and even then I think my Harding University professor (Dr. Priest) had mercy on me after so many hours of private tutoring. Math and I have never been fast friends. Which makes it so funny that our son Kurt majored in Mathematics (with minors in Chemistry and Christian Ethics) and loves trig and calculus. Shoot me now. He … [Read more...]

AI and Managing Time

October 24, 2024 By Cara Putman

The other day I was on LinkedIn and saw a friend who teaches at Indiana Wesleyan University post about asking ChatGPT to tell her who she was.

My Very First Book Trailer!

March 16, 2022 By D'Ann Mateer

I consider myself fairly tech savvy. But when it comes to social media and promoting my books? Not so much.  Recently I watched a webinar on some of the more advanced things you can do on Canva. I’ve been using Canva for awhile and love it. It’s easy to make graphics for social media and my website. But I’d hadn’t ventured beyond that.  Until now.  Being with my husband on … [Read more...]
