If you don’t want to do it virtually…how about see through
I’ve always wondered with technology the way it is, why are students still dissecting animals for biology classes. Why not use a computer program that’s been around for 15+ years and just do it virtually? No more sad little screams of “YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT TO THE FROG?!?!” Well Japanese scientists have come […]
Microsoft Surface Makes Guest Appearance on CSI Miami
Well to my delight the new season of fall shows has begun. Thank goodness for satellite so that I can watch one show, pvr another and then catch another one during a different timezone showing. Last night I was catching up on all the new episodes of CSIs; Miami, New York, Las Vegas, NCSI. During […]
Developing an e-Learning Strategy and Architecture – Lance Dublin (Elluminate Webinar)
Developing an e-Learning Strategy and Architecture – Lance Dublin This was my first Elluminate webinar and it was quite neat to see a different format then I have seen before.

I need my […]

Learning in an Instant
The thing I love about the internet is how quickly I can learn about virtually anything. Elearning doesn’t have to be a full on college course. It doesn’t have to take weeks to occur. It doesn’t have to be towards a certificate or degree. I wonder about something, anything and moments later….I read, listen, observe […]

Loud, Ear Ringing, Rocking Time – Not elearning related
Okay this has nothing to do with elearning at the moment, but maybe I can tie it back to technology at least. Last night I saw Aerosmith put on one heck of an amazing, rocking, ear ringing, guitar blazing performance. The 5th last show of thier 2007 World Tour was phenomenal. I saw them last […]
