Hot Potatoes!

I have been working on my HotPotato exercises which are due next week and I am loving this new technology. I love this technology because it is so easy to use and very beneficial in creating practice activities for the classroom. I am definitely going to make this one of the resources listed in my webliography. I haven't been able to work on my webliography much because of projects due in my other class. I just recently completed a technology integration paper that utilizes project management. I realize it may be differing a bit from the technical aspects of elearning but it is a very important subject matter when it comes to working with technology. Reviewing project management really made me take a broader look at the perspectives outside of the elearning classroom. I have been faced with such questions as how would I be able to present the benefits of my elearning course to administrative officials if the need arises. I have also asked myself the question how will I manage any other aspects of the course such as potential problems and their solutions. Getting back to the technical side of this entry I also learned how to create a gantt chart using Excel. I think that being able to use the technology in this way allowed me to use an "old horse" in a new fashion. I am curious about the other possibilities of using Excel. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to share via a comment.
