Health and Wellness

Well, first off, don't forget to count this week's Learn 2.1 lesson towards your HealthyYou Iniative participation points to earn Wellness hours. Check out the Health Initiative section on the Orange Peel.

So, I figured that since I earned an MP3 player for Learn 2.0 - I ought to actually open it and learn how to use it.

Went to yogadownload.com and downloaded a free 25 minute Prenatal yoga class, with a printable poses guide. Had a little difficulty. For some reason the pdf file refuses to print. Got the class downloaded to my computer, but can't get it to move over to the MP3 player. Guess I'll figure it out this week.

Once I get it figured out, I'm sure it'll be easy.
Then I'll play with music.

Learn 2.1 - Still here

Howdy. One year later, and still here. Back to Learn 2.1. Back to blogging. You know, I've been amazed at how many job postings there are for people to get paid to blog. Fascinating. I wonder how much money those people actually generate for themselves.

The End...

Stealing a title from dear ol' Lemony. I enjoy Online learning. This has been a great experience. I have not worked for any other employer who values staff education at such a high level. The dedication by management to insure we all recognize new trends and technologies is wonderful. It's been nice hearing staff who were terrified of this and against the whole thing are now so excited about new services we can offer to the public.

Well, I was just looking at the Discussion Board, and the discussion starting about Copyright looks like it will be a very interesting discussion to watch.

I started a new discussion as well. About personal blogs invading the workplace environment. See what you think.

Week 10!

Well, I have big plans for my MP3 player. I joined LAFitness at the Health Fair, so I will be using my MP3 player for music and audiobooks to use at the gym. Mostly music, I suppose. I listen to so many Audiobooks in my car, that it's overwhelming. Can't wait to play with it, I've never used one before.

I can't believe that I forgot to write my comments about this movie. Too funny! There were a few more in the library done by these people. A really long computer start up noise. I really liked the spontaneous musical in the lecture hall as well. I think I'd be addicted to YouTube if I had a faster Internet connection at home and no little kids.

Week 9 - Widgets

Wow. That advanced assignment was pretty easy. I added a Widget, found on Yourminis. I added the Yahoo word of the day. Very cool.

I really like those music maps. Very different results for artists. Gonna have to look and see if we have any CD Music by some of these people. I searched for Richard Shindell and Morrissey.

Not sure where I stand on Digital Rights Management. I believe the debate should be settled by the music artists themselves. It's their property, their financial status.

Week 8 - 'Bout time I get caught up

Just in time for next week's posting.

Gotta make sure I get all this done. Just joined the gym - see previous post, and I can see use of that new MP3 player, as I don't have one.

Need to try one of those playaways now, after I buy some earbuds.

OK - Week 8. I'm being a loner with this course. I enjoy web-based learning. The self-paced aspect is great - especially since we all have certain times of day where we absorb learning better. I have discussed the course with other staff members during the course of my training weeks in other departments, but I haven't actually helped anyone with it up to this point. Many discussions regarding blogs and privacy in general, but we haven't worked on the actual coursework together. It would've been fun as a team, but my schedule at this point in time really doesn't allow for it. Maybe the next round, when my schedule is more evened out.

On to week 9...tomorrow!
