Class Presentations 10/29/07

Sue Roger's websites on sign language and translation sites would make a great center activity.
Shana's random article on the Gazette about going to Harvard for free, if you make less than $40,000 a year. Beth goes on to say taht Ivy Leagues like diversity. If you have the grades, they like crazy thinking and interesting hobbies. She also menntioned an article about getting out of going to highschool and right on to college. Facebook is good for school academic stuff and myspace good to keep in contact woth others.

Beth shared an excerpt on innovation and the curve on how it gets adopted. I would consider myself a late majority. I think that is due to the fact that I do not stay current with ongoing communication. I think that will change because I don't want to be in that category. I really want to be an early majority innovator as I like everyone to try things out before I invest in anything. I actually just sit back and let my husband be the early adopter but I think that in time I want to be on top of that too.

I agree with you Tara...I tend to put myself in the late majority too, at least as far as technology is concerned. I would like to be more of an early majority person, but I think in my case it will take a while. I still feel uncomfortable trying out new things (you should have seen me with Excel - I was nuts!) But hey, at least we're not laggards!

That is very interesting Tara (and Kelly) - that you would like that to change - being in that late majority. I hope to give you some tools so that does change. The neat thing is that we are given the opportunity to stay open to growth at different times. Maybe it is your time to grow in this area!
