Learning * Education * Technology

I am currently taking a Best Practices Course  for Teachers at Virtual High School – http://www.govhs.org – take a look if you want – called Web 2.0. I love studying and teaching online. I can’t wait for the U.S. to catch up with much of the rest of the world and let technology soak into the bones of this society; money, at least for access to technology, being no object, or not being the point of it AT ALL. I believe the reason we continue to fall further behind in broadband access, equiupment, etc. is that purveyors are throttling progress down, fearing that they haven’t developed a scheme to really maximize profits.

We have a small class that, except for the instructor, actually work on the same campus in a small town in Southwestern New Hampshire. The principle focus of week 2 in our course was to set up our blog and crank it up. I did everything but write about it in our course, so I’m writing now. 

I am lucky that I am an ‘empty-nester’ with an induglent and loving wife, so I can work and learn without being fussed at for being something of a workaholic. Studying and setting up the blog as an independent entity has been really fun. I have blogs on my Website but no traffic (except now, for my instructor). I have added some plugins and customized the blogs appearance.

How did you find your way to my page?
