Experiences #17-18-19
Theme "the computer"
#17- create a blog:
Well I'm well under way with this one. Starting the blog was simple enough. Goggle has blogspot that offers various styles to choose from. I chose the flying birds of course. I chose a blog as opposed to a face book page as this needs no invitations and memberships to check in. What I put up is open to anyone who wishes to find it. I will continue reporting on my events 'till the end of the year.

#18-e-learning:
As part of learning to scuba-dive, I am expected to learn on line about the theories related to atmospheric pressures, gas, and the affects on the human body. I am most impressed with the planning it takes to create such a site. The learning sessions incorporate videos, written materials, schematics, and printable charts and tables. All went well until I got stuck on a test question, that I could not find a solution for. Now I have to call a rep from the dive store to help me out. I guess e-learning has it's limitations...

#19- research:
I don't do computer work. I am a novice at best. But I know I cannot avoid this creature as it is infiltrating even my massage practise. So with all the events planned for this year, many come from exploring the web. Finding information, booking on-line, getting permits, printing off maps, finding the score for my solo, even getting ideas for the "bucket list", I am getting more comfortable with using the blasted beast and maybe we can come to respect one another.
