I can’t wait to head to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs with some people who I can already tell are going to be awesome to work with and to build positive relationships with. One of them just graduated from Keller yesterday and I feel very blessed to be meeting her soon. I am sure that we will all work well as a team and will enhance each others’ lives as we work to be the face of the DriVen Class.

Anyway, this is my first blog entry using just the iPad and a new app I just installed today. I am really enjoying learning how to use technology to reach out and communicate with others. I am also in the process of learning how to schedule and budget my time so that I am not feeling like because my devices are always with me that I have to always be using them to “work!”

Look out world, here I come!

Geeks to the rescue!  I love it!

Lessons…

Yes, real help will come to real people, but something else to be learned from this is that because of the terrible tragedies that spark events like this, technology will be advanced.  ”At a RHoK hackathon, new technologies are born, existing platforms are built upon, and innovative new ideas attract attention and support.” -Kamran Abdi

According to Daniel Pink, “We think that the only reason people do productive things is to snag a carrot or avoid a stick.  But that’s just not true.  Our third drive – our intrinsic motivation – can be even more powerful.” (Wired Magazine, June 2010, “The Great Cognitive Surplus,” p. 131).
