The Things I’ve learned: blog:
I am a note taker. I will often go to presentations at the library and takes notes on a presentation. This has provided the additional benefit that I can often post my notes on some of my blogs such as Rock Soup. Well this month at work we received some ‘advance your career’ training. I was reminded that my company hosts a lot of educational material. I thought I would start taking some of these courses and take notes. So thus I’m creating this page: What I’ve learned today, to share with you my notes and thus it become a win-win situation where we both learn something new.
Enjoy my entries and hopefully by posting my notes, It’ll motivate me to continue in learning new things and taking more notes. I take notes to remember the information I learned and it provides an opportunity for me to access it later.
Enjoy:
