]]> Comment on Why I am in Love with Collaborative Learning? by Lui http://ppalme.wordpress.com/2008/09/01/why-i-am-in-love-with-collaborative-learning/#comment-372 Lui Sun, 25 Oct 2009 13:15:21 +0000 http://ppalme.wordpress.com/?p=123#comment-372 Adding up to what you have perfectly pictured in your articicle, I guess you will enjoy reading about Mirror Neurons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron). I had the chance to meet one of the scientists who was determinant for this discovery (Prof. Giacomo RIzzolatti) and it is amazing how we are now getting scientific demonstrations for something that has been intuitive for many of us. Learning by doing and learning by watching others do are almost as effective. Therefore you've got to choose carefully who you are learning from! Implications are indefinite, and much is still to come. Our brain is an unknown territory. One aspect I would like to stress here is that social networks are amazing as far as you can expose youself to valuable ideas, experiences and datas. On the other hand some of them (such as fb) become, sometimes, a plethora of not-so-smart content (just to be politically correct) which is ok when it comes to time-killers (or better time-wasters) but they tend to draw all the attention and deistract from more important matters (IMHO).

]]> Comment on Webinars – magic or a waste of time ? by Anita Santiago http://ppalme.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/webinars-magic-or-a-waste-of-time/#comment-367 Anita Santiago Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:59:34 +0000 http://ppalme.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/webinars-magic-or-a-waste-of-time/#comment-367 A lack of planning and a monotone speaker can be brutal on a webinar. In the government arena, many agencies are using webinars to reduce the cost of travel associated with training. I think the best webinars are ones where the needs of the audience are the driving force. Good planning, a solid agenda and a person comfortable with the webinar format helps a lot.

]]> Comment on My New Work-Life Balance With iGoogle – Series 1 by KRCraft http://ppalme.wordpress.com/2008/03/14/my-new-work-life-balance-with-igoogle-series-1/#comment-361 KRCraft Mon, 28 Sep 2009 07:24:09 +0000 http://ppalme.wordpress.com/2008/03/14/my-new-work-life-balance-with-igoogle-series-1/#comment-361 Great advice. I also rely very heavily upon iGoogle as my central info source each day. In addition to the usual reader and feeds on my home tab, I added Wiki search, plus a link to my local news station. I have also created many tabs for specific types of content such as Innovation, Social Media, News - each home to favourite blog feeds & Google news search alerts, and direct links to news outlet feeds. I also have tabs for Apps & Utilities, which link to Flickr, You-Tube, Website Analytics trackers, Maps, etc. Yet another tab is for Fun Stuff which displays the Top You Tube videos, Flickr's interesting photos of the day, California Academy of Science picture feed, Strange Things in Goggle Maps. The best tip I learned was to have a tab called 'To Be Filed' which is my first tab on the left. When I sign up to a new rss blog feed and assign it to iGoogle, it will be added to this tab which reminds me to move it to the correct tab next time I am in iGoogle, otherwise new feeds will delete to you home tab and make a mess of the perfect layout you have.
