3rd U-Blog

Its been a very busy and hectic week. I'm starting to get busy in classes now, and close on my new house. Friday, I finally close and move in. Once this weekend is over, I should be able to focus more time to school and work. I enjoyed listening to Mr. Nalley on open source and Fedora. I think he did an excellent job at promoting the Fedora Project and certainly made me interested in trying it out.

I was somewhat bummed that our group did not get our first pick for our training project, but I was flattered that Dr. Keane thought we were the better group for leading the Intermediate Training System at Lowman Homes. I feel that being able to go out of the classroom to do a real world project is pretty sweet. Not to mention it adds more value to our experiences as a working individual. I look forward to working with the people at Lowman Homes.

This week we discussed what a training system was and went further into where they are used. We also began discussion on our group projects for the coming year and what all it entailed. We will be choosing what kind of training system to use in the community where we are assigned. I enjoy being able to do out of the classroom assignments that involve real world situations; especially when they are used to help others. This project will not only be fun, but challenging. Hopefully I will learn some valuable information as well as our audience.

This week we went over our class schedule and had an introduction to training systems. Training systems are organized systems that help train an person with a certain field they want to explore more of. These types of systems can be anything that needs preparation or learning. Many companies offer training systems for new hires. Setting up a training system, though, takes weeks, even months, to do. I expect we'll get into doing just that later on this semester.
