Posting... But Not On Blogger

I've been so busy over the last few months that I haven't posted anything new here. When I started this blog and two others, my goal was to post at least twice a month. However, as you can tell by the dates on my post this hasn't happened. In fact, I'm behind on another blog I write titled, Parenting the Gamer Generation at http://www.kidsgotgame.blogspot.com/.

What happened? you may ask. This is what happened: life, kids, new house, more volunteer work, coaching upward soccer, joined the Holmberg Art Leadership Institute, started working at my father's driving range again and other things I can't remember now. There is also my job. It takes my time too.

In addition to these activities I do try to keep up with web 2.0 tools. I do this mostly through my iPhone. After leaving the Art Institute meeting I stopped for lunch. While I waited for lunch, I posted to Twitter and Facebook about community projects that I hoped would be taken up by Chattanooga State students.

I'd love to see the social media class use Foursquares to document the public art sculptures around town. I would be thrilled to read an article by a Chattanooga State Communicator reporter on the Hart Gallery and the art lessons they line up for the homeless.

The social media or broadcasting class could invite the CreateHere non-profit to speak in class on how they use social media to post videos on Chattanooga residents. Have you seen the work they post on YouTube? Before I sign off here, I want to encourage my readers to go online and google Chattanooga. See what I've been researching. Type Chattanooga + YouTube, Google, Facebook, Foursquares and Twitter.

I bet you didn't know half of what you see.
