Resourceful or INFOwhelmed?

I've learned not to say "I'm 'playing' on the computer."  Yet, the internet is my playground...so much stuff to read, see, hear, do! It is my FUN time.  However, not everyone sees it as fun or play.  Am I learning?  Am I having fun? Do I share and get along well with others?  YES...learning about many topics, and I love that.  I've started a blog, following other bloggers, and trying my best not to "lurk" but actually participate. So, call me RESOURCEFUL! And, if you are infowhelmed, just ask me...I would love to play and find your answer.

"We live in a 24/7 InfoWhelm world. We have access to more information than we will ever need. This video will tell you just how much information there is out there. It requires a different set of skills than the ones we leave school with today."

My Blog - just say WOW!

Okay, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and dabbling with blogging.  Why not?  I find so many neat resources, learn great things from my amazing friends (both online, at home, and at school), and my brain is on overload.  My sister, Jennifer, says if she is forced to save one more thing in her brain, something else is going to have to leave.  AH-HA!  Thus, the reason for blogging, 'cause I just can't store much more in this brain either.  Think I'll try this and share the wealth.
