BPBPBPEvernotePhotPeachSlideShow!!!!Essay on Overload!!
I am BP'd out! My mind has nothing to offer good or bad regarding Evernote, PhotoPeach - Eat a Peach! Now there is one of rock n' rolls great albums by The Alman Brothers! SlideShare? I need to work on slide show presentations as effective means of communication. Currently, slide show (read powerPoint) have become the lazy minded professor's way to include visuals in their worn out lectures. I need more time to research these 2.0 tool. In the meantime, I need to spend most of my 2.0 research with the leapfrog org website and with Open Carbon (read those essays if you have the time). They are both great "FSO -AHA!" discoveries for my current projects.

I think WatchKnow fits nicely with out Leapfrogs to Laptops Project. The ability to match visuals with words should help to increase the English learning skills of both the child and the parent. I imagine the parent and child sounding out the word with the guidance of the teacher. As this point, I need to simply log in and play with the program. Perhaps I'll do so with my grandson Gavin.
BP#7 Essay
The application of WIKI for our nonprofit organization and our Leapfrogs to Laptops Project should help our team pull together and become more organized and focused on the challenges presented by this project. I need to further research the benefits of a grass roots nonprofit WIKI. Social Networking is the key skill in doing grass roots nonprofit work. One aspect on networking is establishing strong private (for profit) partners. One WIKI objective might be to include a private partner in the development of our WIKI. At this point, I am at the point of mindful overload. The brain needs time to incubate new idea, new concepts, new technology - Well, perhaps only my old brain needs this incubation period in order to hatch a new idea! I need to envision what connects and what does not. What needs to left on the cutting room floor. There needs to be fluency as to how the technology works in delivering the information to the learner. Will the WIKI help to turn that information into knowledge? Will it play a critical role in taking the knowledge and transforming it into to know-How (Innovation)?
