Tonight: Playing with PollDaddy (why the silly name?) , an online tool that allows you to create polls/surveys and place them on your website, MySpace, Friendster, and a lot of other places!

Observations: Really easy to do...did not spend too much time on it...Most of my time was used up by trying to think up a question for the poll (obviously need to spend more time thinking in this area!)

Celebrating Columbus Day in PR

I had the opportunity to celebrate Columbus Day this year in Puerto Rico (by the way, this is not my life normally...I usually celebrate this day by catching up on all my soap operas!)

Anyway, how gorgeous is this picture you see to the left? Taken from my camera just minutes before the wedding I came to San Juan for. Amazing wedding, amazing couple (Congratulations, Liz and David!)

So what does this post have to do with TEAM, you ask? Well, technology, of course! It NEVER ceases to amaze me how technology has made our lives unbelievably easy....For the first time in my life, I had the easiest journey through JFK because of a miracle called "Online Check-In"...What an ingenious idea! And there were computers placed in the lobby of the hotel that let me print out my boarding pass as I was leaving PR....So smart...Saved so much time and several headaches.

I was sad to see, however, that in a certain part of Old San Juan, there were even laptops attached to the lounge chairs women were sitting in to get their pedicures. Here's my thought: Do we need to be online ALL the time? Can we not allow ourselves the luxury of peace and quiet? More thoughts on this later...

Finally---A Thought!

So I think I'm finally feeling a little better about being a part of TEAM (hence my long-awaited 'web presence' on this blog)..By no means am I a tech-geek (as I am referred to by one of my students....Wait until he realizes how little I know!)

My current thought (as of Oct 1, 2007): I have A LOT to learn...but I'm ready to take the challenge! :-)
