2nd Reflection Post! - Stunning the masses and learning about inappropriate search terms!

So, I must admit this has not been in a great week for learning! Hence it's Monday and here I am working on last week's work!  Just so busy! I really enjoy the things I am learning and feel excited to take the time to learn these things.

Today at work, I found myself telling several Brock University employees that "did they know" they can can set up an RSS Feed for all the blogs or news sites we read and the info will come to you? And boy o' boy by definition I have stunned the masses! Really seriously, they were shocked!

stunned past participle, past tense of stun (Verb)

Verb Knock unconscious or into a dazed or semiconscious state. Astonish or shock (someone) so that they are temporarily unable to react.

With that being said, most interesting things in my life I learn from my kids, I think I shocked them when this week thanks to my new reader subscription I learned  Justin Beiber was writing a love song, now I can already say that this course is teaching so much more then I expected! I am on the cusp of becoming a Mother to a teenage girl, hence I have been trying to learn about teenage girls.

I learned this week trying to put "teenage girl" into google is quite upsetting.  I did find a few interesting blogs about this topic, some from professionals and some from from people I am pretty sure have never had a child. This week I took the time to take this scary topic to the net and see what others had to say.  I found a few useful sites for modern topics, like the recent Lance Armstrong issue and explaining this to our teenage kids.  I have found it useful to read what others have to say, makes you not feel so crazy. I like that my PLE is expanding, I am adding in many new things that didn't exist and really makes me feel like I am learning something new and exciting.  It's exciting to think that in one week I learned how to stun the masses, learn about a 18 year teenage hartthrob's musical talents and find a way to talk to my Daughter about important issues, who knew!
