Why a Blog?

Blogs are friendly and available to everyone. One of my major reasons for doing a blog is that it's inspires me to write about what's happening and create content that can be used for other purposes. It also encourages me to try new tech skills. Let me know what you think.

Welcome to Marti's Learning Place

If you are here, you are probably involved with Alvernia College in Reading, PA, in some way. Should you read more? Maybe.

  • Do new learning technologies excite you? Distress you? Make your head hurt?
  • Are you looking for a career related to books, computers, and people?
  • Do you have to teach, learn, or both using a blog, a wiki, a learning management system, PowerPoint, or websites?
  • Do you need to get into Alvernia's resources off campus?
  • Are you required to produce an electronic portfolio?
  • Do you know how to search databases to find peer-reviewed articles in your field?
  • Are you curious about why an older lady would be interested in learning and computers?
  • Are you related to me?

If any of these apply to you, then stick around. Welcome.
