Learning On The Job

Over at Intrepid Teacher, Jabiz is having a blazing conversation on the need for balance. Cristina pointed me to the following video that I had never seen before, which is an ad for a mobile phone company in Thailand. According to a commenter on YouTube, the narrator at the end says:

Stay offline some time to embrace your surroundings. Use the phone just as necessary

Be sure to add your voice over at Intrepid Teacher if you haven’t done so already.

I’m not normally an internet meme kinda guy. But I like the idea of spreading a little love and knowledge…

Thanks to Maggie at Tech Transformations for the recommendation as a blog to keep an eye on. Actually, I believe the term she used is “Vale a pena ficar de olho nesse blog,” an initiative to highlight, well, blogs to keep an eye on!

Learning on the Job is an attempt by me to document my thoughts and experiences as I work my way through my new position. It is becoming my de facto portfolio, one that I would happily point any prospective employer towards as it is equal parts reflective and celebratory. It also serves as a sounding board for my thoughts and ideas; just taking the time to write them down help clarify things for me.

Of course, I don’t work or live in a vacuum and I am constantly inspired, motivated and encouraged by my blogging colleagues around the world. Here are 10 of them, presented without commentary:
