Thing 2 finally done

Wow, this one took a while.  I started this Thing about 3 weeks ago, but only spent about 90 minutes on it.  The articles to read were a little dense.  Also I found myself following links to other sites since I'm sort of an educational theory geek.  Also, I'm only a little bit older than Generation Y.  In my job, I teach people from all sorts of different generation.  So I feel I need to be at least conversational, if not fluent, in various teaching modalities and strategies.  That's my big motivation in doing the 8 Things.  I feel I vaguely understand a lot of the concepts but I don't truly get the nuts and bolts of them.  

I spend a lot of time on the internet.  I haven't gotten myself so addicted that I need to pay a ton of money to get in on my phone yet...I think it's kind of nice to be "off the radar" every once in a while.  But whenever I'm on my personal or work computer, I'm online.  I do most of my job-related information hunting on the internet.  I "google" much more often than I crack a journal or, heaven forbid, a textbook.  Some think it's blasphemy.  But often when I need information, I know the reputable sites.  Or the answer is at the tip of my tongue.  All I need to do is see it and I'll recognize it as correct.  So what if it's on Wikipedia.

On to Thing 3...
