I heard a bit on NPR today about the use of technology in education. The guest was talking to Diane Reem about the widening gap between the use of technology in Fortune 500 companies and in public classrooms. She asked him, "How do you use technology?" He responded by saying that getting online was the first thing he did when he got up in the morning and the last thing he did before he went to bed, that instead of reading the paper, he got his news online. Instead of watching TV or listening to the radio, he downloads shows and podcasts. And frighteningly, he admitted on the air that he knew more about his co-workers through their blogs that from personal interaction. These are people that he actually works with every day.

I don't want this! ....So let me tell you about the great blog post I read from a total stranger! Ha! Ha!

No, really, check it out!

What a great article. Everyone reconsiders at the start of the year, it's true (and my gym was full all day). I'm thinking about revamping my site as well. It's all about balance, I guess!

My aerobics class was packed! I reminded my friend that it was the first session of the new year. Half these people will be gone by next month! :)
