A lot of PROS and a little CONS

I am so glad that we do Elluminate Live. The thoughts of working all day Tuesday and then jumping in a car and driving an hour and a half to go sit in a class for two and a half hours and then drive back home an hour and a half just sounds exhausting. Not to mention, how grumpy I would be Wednesday. I love that I get to learn and be a part of a group, but yet I still get to be at my house and eat dinner with my wife and kids. In being a technology minded person, the class has not been a struggle for me at all. Logging on, using my mic, saving the whiteboard, chatting have been second nature to me. And then to bring in my ADHD, it's nice to be able to stand up or lay down or just walk around while class is going on and not disturb anybody. On the negative side, there is a neat dynamic that exists when we are all in one room together. As much as I love computers, sometimes you have to have the human side of things. As I mentioned, I did not have any problems with the technology, but I know a lot that did. I can't imagine how frustrating that would be to sit there and look at your laptop and go, "Why aren't you working?"

  1. Hi, Dwayne - this technology is right up your alley, given your expertise and travel distance. And I imagine some of our responses to a blank screen are somewhat more forceful than your scenario! Thanks for sharing.
