Developing Knowledge Skillz

According to the Learning Outcomes for this class I should learn new knowledge skills. Therefore this will just be a short post while I go off and develop some. This weekend I am going with BYU's GEO club to Blanding Utah to work on some engineering projects for people of the Navajo Nation. In that time I will take advantage of several opportunities to develop some of my knowledge skill.

Where in the world?

Today as I looked around the Reinventing Knowledge class blog, and read Dr. B's great post on self-directed learning, I came to wonder what my good friend Shuan is getting from our class. (This arranged seating puts her outside of my in-class whispering range.) So I went and looked up her most recent post, found here.  Shuan did a great job on the post, but I liked best what Jake had to say about the Silk Road and the internet. Therefore below I'm going to share how to find who is looking at your posts/blog and where in the world are they from. (Because this is generally awesome!) I may also share some thoughts about the Silk road and the internet. (But you'll have to read it to find out!)

FYI: Evernote

In a comment responding to this post. Dr. B asked if I would share about sharing Evernote folders. First, I need to answer the question running through your mind right now, "What, in the name of Sam Houston, is Evernote?"

Evernote a great website that lets you take and store notes in the cloud so you can access them anywhere, anytime. (Provided you have access to the internet, or they are on you computer)

I especially enjoy it for this class because of the variety of actions I can use to manipulate the notes I take.

FYI: Sharing Your Posts

For all of the learning and thinking going in this group, how important is it if it never leaves this group? 

Knowledge is all about sharing. In this new age of exciting organisations such as Facebook and Twitter, sharing comes at speeds faster than ever. The key is to get your knowledge out there so people can see it! 

Dinner Via the WWW

Hungry?? Why not turn to the internet???


Say huh? She's nuts! I think her time in Digital Civilization has melted her brain! 


No! Really, I'm alright! I just found a really cool site to help me to combine two of my new favorite activites: social networking and cooking!
