Chicago

I am at a week-long training session in Chicago for my new job. Here is a list of the tools I have used from finding the job, going through interviews (5 of them), and now attending training:

LinkedIn.com (my account, upgraded to premium level, general job search, applied to the job through this tool, investigated the company)
Indeed.com (general job search)
Skype (interviews)
Zoom (interviews)
Gmail.com
Box.com
MyNGConnect (textbook publisher's online materials)
YouTube (company information, legal training)
Inflection (HR, accounting)
AMTRAV ticket verification
AA.com (flight info/text updates, boarding pass)
Amerigoeducation.com
Uber
Lyft

    I LOVE Chicago! I hope you have the best week exploring and learning!

    Wow, you've worked with a lot of tools thus far. Don't forget to add all those technical tools to your resume in conjunction with this professional experience. Future employers will be impressed you can use Skype, Zoom, Inflection and other industry tech platforms.

After reading and listening to the various materials in this module, I see that I was not and am not coming close to using the full capabilities of Web 2.0. My excuse is that I do not have time to learn them well enough to employ them in class, but that is a poor excuse. I am an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) instructor currently teaching three Continuing Education courses: Business English (high-level students, 2 hours a week), Evening ESOL (intermediate level students, 6 hours a week), and Saturday ESOL (high-intermediate level students, 4 hours a week). I consider myself to be somewhat tech-savvy in that, when I was the administrator and an instructor in our intensive program for university preparation (the past 6 years), I used tools such as electronic flashcards, online quizzes, online games, and discussion boards with my students. I integrated current, relevant media from various sites and podcasts into my classes rather than relying solely on what our books pro

When it rains during a festival, whether it is while I'm painting or overnight between painting days, I am not so excited about the temporal nature of chalk on pavement. However, on the Monday after the festival weekend, I have no problem with cars, bikes, and pedestrians, human and animal, passing over my paintings.

I have met some very interesting beings: tourists from overseas, local immigrants who are happy to find a Spanish-speaker to answer their questions, children, and lots of dogs. I love dogs!

I made this infographic on easel.ly to visualize the number of tools that I have used since arriving here on Monday. It's pretty mind-boggling...especially when you consider the number of usernames and passwords I need to remember. For some of these, I can use my new work account; for others, I use Google whenever possible. I have two more days...more apps to come!
