Tuesday, June 19, 2007 Using FaceBook Im trying to expand my horizons a bit these days and have been taking a closer look at a whole bunch of tools out there, including SecondLife and FaceBook. There was a great NYTimes article a few weeks ago about a mom signing up for a FaceBook account, completely appalling her teenage daughter.

Im struck by why I find this topic so interesting. I was pointed in the direction of a good article on learning styles from Harold Stolovich via Guy Wallace. The author cited two learning styles tests which came in at.60 And on that note, I think Im pretty much done now with my learning styles assignment. For the moment.

That said, Im a little concerned that the gamer mentality is sometimes presented as important to corporate culture and that as a result women should get into gaming. Im a bit of an über a-hole when it comes to stereotypical representations - the giggly "girl" (which is the name of this episode) just lights my match. Which is correct?

UdutuTeach This application allows you to import courses from myUdutu (authoring tool).
