The Cowpokes pull out another one. They could be 3-0 if not for a last second field goal by the G-Men yet everyone is calling for their demise, seriously what are people watching? They are not that bad! I guess they are bored without TO to pick on in Dallas. Romo has always been overrated why are they just catching on now? Speaking of overrated what has happened to Jake Delhomme?

So Red Sux vs. Angels and Yankees vs. AL Central (Tigers or Twins, one will win that division at some point).

The NL is looking a little more exciting, no one is taking charge in that League at all.

Do you think it burns inside Tiger Woods to see Mickelson win a tournament that Tiger should have won?

NBA camps get underway today, this is another league that doesnt get interesting until the playoffs, bunch of whinny millionaires always talking about their individual stats. boring

Well another class is just about over and i have once again spent a lot of time working on different sites to develop ways to teach online or atleast punch up boring instruction with technology to gain student interest. Its amazing how much you can learn on the internet, if i had the internet when i was in school i would have done a lot better.

Articulate is a great teaching tool. Very easy to use and understand and provides a great deal of variety to teaching subjects, while hitting audio and visual learners.

Played with www.articulate.com and it is a fun program to work with. Not great hearing my own voice in a recording but i will manage. It is an easy tool to use and has a great many purposes with which to be used. But with all others it has its down sides, again it can be controlled somewhat in order for it to serve as an educational tool. Visual and audio learning for those type learning styles. Excellent really!

As I continue on in my pursuit of a MA in Teaching and Learning with Technology, I am once again trying new forms of instruction using the internet as a backdrop with several types of software packages. It would seem to be a place where there is overstimulation. There is so much out there that can be used as a teaching/training tool. Its hard to just settle into one you like as there just different options that can be used for different events, so how do you keep up with them all? Does the over abundance translate to overstimulation of the student? If we give them too much too fast will they be able to keep up or be interested? That seems to be the challenge.
