Blog transfer from http://toniitec830.blogspot.com/

I am having trouble checking up on Ilearn. I guess we are not using it as much.
I would like to view others blogs but am having trouble logging on. I think I have password and site name correct. I may have to check again with someone.

I really appreciated everyone's presentations the other week. If I could only put my stuff online- Dave's wiki had just about everything. Today I will be investivating forums and php. Tomorrow I will try to fully mockup what I plan.
I'll have to dredge up some of my minimal Flash knowledge. I hope to at least have a mock up of what I am creating.
I won't feel so bad about not having a product yet as that is what I'm doing for the pool is creating this website so I will see it realized eventually. What has been great is learning about all the possibilities with web 2.0. This is the interactive communication that the company needs. I have the surveys to prove it. Its the proprietory issue that concerns me. Will I have a lot to maintain? I have decided Moodle is not appropriate for that reason.
My other big hold up was getting the video tutorials compressed for an intranet site. Hopefully, I will be able to put it together now. I am hoping the new Imovie 08 with its codecs for compression for the web will solve my problem.

I will try to redo my Second Life Power Point into a Quicktime so I can post it on my blog. Unless anyone has a faster idea.
At the moment I think I will have to redo it in Keynote as I know it has an export to quicktime option. Maybe I should investigate ppt. more. I also heard that Google docs presentation loads nicely into Blogger. So I will have to investigate that as well. So much technology and so little time.

Second Life

I could have posted a lot on this one. I think Second Life is interesting in a creative geeky kind of way.
I had so many problems with orientation. It didn't help that I have practically no gaming experience or Multiuser online
gibberish experience. I can see that their is a great creative force involved in this and that is about the only thing that kept me from quitting. Oh that and a grade.
I will have to abandon my avatar and create a new account to learn some of the things I missed. I still have the official users guide I bought from B&N at a dear price. I still recomend it for oldie/newbies like me.

Wrong blog

I've got two blogs out there and I am posting to both accidentally. I will try to transfer some stuff now.

Project Management

I very much enjoyed the speaker on project management. It's quite a dance he does and I can see the inevitable challenges but the beauty in it as well. When I was in production management in the jewelry industry, it was much the same only the projects were orders and they never stopped coming and were always the same. Education, however, is much more meaningful and interesting.
My project with the swim school has the potential to allow me to learn just about everything in instructional design. I have made the instructional video and I am now designing and implementing professional development 1:1 with the teachers, next I hope to be creating the employee intranet website and now I hear I will be creating instruction for their office and computer based applications which will require a different style of instruction and learning new software. It's a gold mine of experience if I can manage the micro-managing family politics that a fast growing family business can have.
The intranet employee website I am undertaking has all sorts of web 2.0 potential if I can only learn it fast enough.
