I enjoyed doing the various 23 exercises and learning about so many different information gathering and communication options. I especially enjoyed Youtube.
It has opened my eyes to the interesting ways a person can learn and communicate.
I like the way you can personalize a blog and communicate with people from different backgrounds.

Audiobooks
I checked out Project Gutenberg.
I would enjoy listening to the books while driving or working in the yard.
I think this is an excellent way to create interest for reading among young people and a way to stimulate the elderly who have failing eyesight. Another good thing about these books has to do with using an alternative method to learn about things of interest or new things which are applicable to a person's work or hobbies.

Podcast

I added a RSS feed for a sports podcast to my Bloglines account. The use of podcasts gives a person a tool to access portable information about a variety of subjects and hard to find items.

I like the variety of music videos. I chose this site because it blends two of my favorite types of music performed by two of my favorite performers from each genre, George Jones and Vestal Goodman.

I created an account on Zoho Writer and published the document on my blog. The Zoho writer gives you access to office related tools without using costly software.

I explored travel on the Web 2.0 Awards List. Farecast allows the user to compare rates and overall cost of a trip. It provides more information and useful tools.

George Todd's recent energy management inspection of the central office gives strong indication of what each of us can do differently to help save money.

2008-03-16T11:08:00.000-07:00

This assignment was fun. I thought the picture was humorous so I showed my son who promptly told me he had seen it many times and was aware of blog generators. I should have known that!

I want to go on record as saying, " Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!"

There ought to be a law......

Week 1- Learning Contract

This learning contract is an efficient way to become more effective in aspects of life.

Hardest: To balance work and play because of the responsibilities of the position.
Easiest: To begin with an end in mind because of the importance of setting goals and attaining them.
