eLearning Objectives
http://www.resourcebridge.net/Articles/eLearn_Objectives.html ~Ramona Broomer I really think this web site is a great resource for any educator or trainer wanting to implement technology in their teachings. I really like the quick and easy “Top Ten Tips for Painless Integration”. They are easy to use and can really start you off in the right direction. There is a lot more to it, but I like the simplicity to it. Again it’s a great place to begin. http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/tech/tech039.shtml ~ Jen Raup ~
 * Top Ten Tips for Technology Integration**

http://www.commoncraft.com/ After watching the video Dr. Nicholson posted for Wikis, I investigated this site a little more and found it to be great for people who are not the most versed in tech-jargon. The tutorials on this site are easy, fun and presented in a way that allows for all types of learners (and ability levels) to take something away. Anyone and everyone should visit this page to get started on some of the new (and old) technology out there. - Jess Konigsbauer -

As trainers, and educators who are implementing technology into the classrom, I think it's important to understand technophobia a bit better. Below is an interesting site on technophobia, how to spot it and how to adapt to those within organizations who suffer from it. //Student Affairs Online - "Technophobia is Conquerable!"// http://www.studentaffairs.com/ejournal/Winter_2001/technophobia.html - Jess Konigsbauer -

A friend of mine works at a Pittsburgh News Station and she does a beat called Plugged In, which can be viewed at YouTube, along with on the Pittsburgh News Station website. She's a technology buff who enjoys reporting and blogging about the latest Web sites, new media and tech gadgets. I thought this was "great stuff" because her site is updated daily with new gadgets and great information regarding technology. Here is her website which gives you all of her podcasts about technology. http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/pluggedin/index.html - Alanna Ramin
