eLearning & LMS Implementation Mentor Needed
Driving for 3 days at 8 hours at a shot gave me lots of time to think, ponder, and worry more and more about the LMS implementation that is a few weeks away. I reach out to my peers quite often through this and am so grateful for all the help I continue to receive. […]
Clark Aldrich was the last 2 questions on my mid-term last night.
I wrote (or clicked) my way through a mid-term last night for a Online Technology course, and yes I passed with flying colours Mom. I was pleasantly surprised for 2 reasons. I was interesting to work through a multiple choice test that actually covered everything taught so far, and was challenging at the same time. […]
Blog Action Day – Poverty (Tsunamika Dolls)
My friend at work that volunteered in India this past summer and the summer before brought me back a precious little gift. A Tsunamika doll. A symbol of living hope. “This project is conceived and executed by Upasana Design Studio of Auroville in the seaside villages of Auroville’s bioregion. Nearly 480 fisherwomen from 6 villages […]
Simple Clean Learning Example on BBC News

LMS Name & Logo Created, If I Could Just Get the LMS to Look as Nice
I think I’ve got it. With a little more brainstorming with a different colleague we decided we liked SOL. So we added an S on the end and now have SOLS, the Southlake Online Learning System.

I was just brainstorming with a friend from our Corp. Communications on a name for our LMS. I’ve been looking into this for a bit, but it slipped my mind and now I need to come up with something. So we threw around the words “university”, “college”, “academy”, “elearning“, “online”, “intranet”. Finally we came up […]
Dear Boss: Let me tell you what I really think….whoops

Getting addicted to Tweets? Maybe.
Last year at the Annual Gathering someone asked if I was hooked into Twitter that they would send me a message that way about where to meet up later during the event. I wasn’t but quickly did to give it a try and check it out. It did take me a little getting use to […]
Internet and Email Use at Work – Study Findings
PEW Internet and American Life Project have a great paper out right now with some interesting stats on use of the internet and email and how it effects workers. It is from September 24, 2008 and the data seems to have been collected earlier in the year. It caught my attention in relation to the […]
Starting to be a Collector (comment from Work Literacy Ning)
Susan Neva commented today, after seeing a graph (What People are Doing) that I shared, that they would like to become more of a collector and wants to learn how to accomplish this task starting with RSS feeds. I responded (and decided to share here) with a comment. Week 4 of Work Literacy seems to […]
