I am Tracie, I am currently enrolled in the Educational Technology Masters Degree program here at UCM. I have enjoyed all of the information I have learned so far in the program which has widened my perspective of education and the use of technology in the classroom.
I really enjoy learning and finding out how technology is intertwined in our lives. I truly believe that our mission in education technology is to teach others how to incorporate technology in their daily lives making their activities not only easier but, more fulfilling!
I would like to touch on something that most "savvy" users are familiar with, Winzip. There are times in our daily activities when we have to communicate large amounts of information. When this happens it can be extremely frustrating to not be able to send or receive important data because of the size of the attachment.
So, we have a tool to compress data called "winzip". The below link has the specifics of the "how to's" when using and operating winzip. (You can also download the evaluation version at this site as well.)

I like having different ways to digest information and youtube is a wonderful resource for those of us who are visual learners. I hope you enjoy the information!
Just a tip... I would subscribe to: ehowtech on youtube, they have great information!
Book
Well, I believe the last book I read was The Life you were Born to Live. I really enjoyed looking up the information and seeing what path I am currently on and what personality traits are associated with being on my "life path". I find direction in information. Information is the key to everything in life! I hope you take the time to read and decipher your section in the book it is well worth it!
I will talk to you soon... Until chose to make everyday great!
