I’m a technical writer, technical trainer, U.S. Navy veteran, former public school music teacher, social media enthusiast, and lifelong learner. I’m interested in personal learning environments, social learning networks, and innovative ideas for using social software to enhance learning.

&lt;p&gt;“This short film is an introduction to the rather abstract but powerful idea emerging regarding using social media tools (web 2.0) to build personal learning networks. In this film I focus on how I use my personal learning network for teacher professional development but the same strategy could be applied to any form of learning. Teachers could have their students create their own personal learning networks for research projects and professionals can create their own for learning about their field or networking.”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://akipta.tumblr.com/post/123911356</link><guid>http://akipta.tumblr.com/post/123911356</guid><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2009 07:54:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Walk Tall (featuring Paul Simon) from the album Family Time by...</title><description>&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://akipta.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/123669104/BU2lBcoAIoq1s2h4tdBTOJFE&amp;color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Walk Tall (featuring Paul Simon) from the album Family Time by Ziggy Marley, a free mp3 download from Amazon.com.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://akipta.tumblr.com/post/123669104</link><guid>http://akipta.tumblr.com/post/123669104</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:24:45 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Testing video direct upload from desktop to Tumblr.
