Thing 3

Well, educational blogs are quite interesting.  I think it is amazing the numbers of ideas that people have, and fascinating that they can all be shared so simply.  You can find just about anything if you are willing to look for it.  I posted on a blog about bullying and think I might follow that blog as it is certainly something I am interested in.

I'm Back

Well, I didn't finish this the last time around, so I am continuing now.  It is amazing how fast the summer goes, but I hope to get done with this before the deadline.  A conference in Chicago and being up in northern CT where internet access shared with my husband has not been conducive to getting back to this.  Here I go, I am ready for Thing 3

Things 1 and 2

I have complelted things 1 and 2.  I was somewhat surprised at how simple it was.  As I was reading the information about Web 2.0 I discovered that I could develop a shared spreadsheet.  I have been trying to find a way to allow my nurses to enter the Influenza Like Illness data directly so that I didn't have to look for faxes and email.  Eureka!  I was able to develop forms to place on my blog for them to fill out.  Now all I have to do is to go to google docs and get my information.  What a wonderful thing.  I think they may be happier about it also. 

It was fun creating my avatar.  Although, it was there on my blog and seems to have disappeared.  I guess I must be on vacation.  Hopefully I will report back soon.

I hope to eventually use my blog to communicate with my nurses and who knows where things will go from there.

Daily ILI Tacking Form

I have added the ILI Tracking Form below the surveillance form.  Let me know if you have any problems.

I am doing a professional development activity called 23 Things. One of the "things" is blogging. This is my first attempt at writing a blog.
