Looking at Blogs to Share About Blogs (which do you use?)
I’m currently preparing for a presentation on learning how to blog and learning from other’s blogs and so that is exactly what I’m doing. I’m surfing around looking at blogs that I’ve only been reading in the past to dive a little deeper into some of the tools/widgets that seem most common. Looking to see […]
Back to the grind stone, almost!
Well my first day back from vacation did not disappoint. I tried extremely hard while away to never think of work; I think I succeeded about 98% of the trip. I had planned to come back and even had blocked off 3 solid days to just click through every single screen of my LMS. I’m […]
Vacation time and I’m still drawn to looking at this screen
I’m happily on vacation. Loving the warm air. Falling head over heels in the waves. Seen puffer fish, 2 eels, a sea snake, urchins, coral, tons of fish, pelicans feeding, an iguana, seagulls (why are they everywhere!?!), I think I might have had a minor sting by a jelly-fish, 3 sting rays, and far too […]
Potential Questions to Ask When Having an LMS Demo’d
I’ve been having other LMS vendors contact me wanting me to see demonstrations of their systems several times over the last year. A situation arose recently that made my department seriously question the system we had in place and should we switch to another vendor. I made arrangements to visit a colleague at another hospital […]
Does it have to be timely to be relevant?
I saw a very interesting online conference come across my email the other day. It’s for “Stepping into Virtual Worlds” which happens January 30th, completely virtually through Second Life. How incredibly neat is that? I did see this posted last year, but I was too late to attend at when I found the conference. So […]

Try a Different Thought Pattern, It Just Might Change Your Life
A dear friend of mine has been on a journey for quite a long time now going out there and inspiring the best in others, getting people to find the humour in their daily lives, and just overall lightening up. It’s no wonder then that Jacquie Hermans has called her company Light’N UP (…Laugh and […]
Extra Learning Through the Web – Photography Lessons
Well exactly as I wanted, I learned something new tonight just by reading my feeds and looking deeper into various bits of content. I came across Joe McNally’s blog and a few of his video posts on YouTube about how to be a better photographer. (Joe McNally shoots assignments for magazines, ad agencies, & graphic […]
2.009 – The Start of Another Great Year
I’m off to a great start for this new year. By now you’ve seen that this year for me has started on January 5th (Monday – back to work day). So far I’ve already blown the “getting up at 5:00am with hubby and start working out first thing,” instead I opted for sleeping in 10 […]
