Learning Log

Hi Catherine,
Our class during the summer of 2007 was a brief introduction in to the world of Blogging. There is so much information to be learned, explored, and shared and my only regret was the limited class time and not enough hours of the day to devote to this subject. I am so impressed by the talents of my course mates and how each of them have been able to create an extraordinary Blog linking valuable research and information. I look forward to visiting each Blog for daily updates and thoroughly enjoy reading my course mate's comments. Most of my time was devoted to visiting every one's Blog, intrigued by the information which they presented, rather than devoted to my own project. I was impressed and fascinated by the amount of work, detail, and incorporation of technology that went in to every Blog.
The personal connection that many course mates shared was evident by their comments of utmost support, kindness, caring, and friendships for one another. Personalities and individual interests were evident and I enjoyed getting to know everyone. I enjoyed visiting each Blog site viewing shared interest and over lapping themes, in addition to the exploration of topics including information on diamonds, wedding planning, and children's imagination which added a non medical dimension.
Many of us were personally touched by Chris and how she dealt with her husband's diagnosis. Chris is an amazing women and I am so inspired by her strength and directed energy which she used to educate others in the prevention and treatment of melanoma. Although the course was short, I feel that the Blogging exercise brought people closer together and I am grateful for the experience.
Catherine, it must be rewarding to witness tremendous student interest, productivity, and growth in the field of technology. Thank you for continually adding new sites for us to explore, develop, and to incorporate in to our Blogs. I hope to continue and share my blogging experiences beyond the summer of 2007. Thank you again for inviting me in to the world of Blogging.

YouTube - monster pillow fight

The woman in the video is my sister, Frannie, who is having a pillow fight with her children, nieces and nephews while on vacation in Dennis, Cape Cod last week. This was probably not the best idea right before bed time, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. My 14 year old niece filmed the video which was relevant to our class project.

Strategies for healthy eating in the work place.

Eating Healthy at Work

As I explore ideas to create an "Extraordinary Work Place", food as a source of good health and social venue come to mind. It is difficult to concentrate on work activities when one is focused on their next meal. Hunger in the work place is a distraction from productivity and aimed at overall poor health. Additionally, sometimes we are too consumed with activities and dead lines, only to skip meals or make poor health choices.

Information, Research, and Technology

I would like to thank my coursemates (Chris, Eileen, Jen, Jo Ann, Joceyln, Lin, Linda, Mary Lou, Shannon, and Tahia) for an enjoyable and successful 2007 summer program at MEEI. Special thanks to our professor, Catherine Seo, for her intuitiveness, flexibility and adding a new technological dimension in to our lives. I hope to see you all again some time soon.
