Readings for 11/9

Believe it or not I'm starting to feel comfortable with blogging.  I've just finished reading several blogs and I am truly surprised at how much I enjoyed reading everyones blogs.  They are full of great ideas and it's a great way of socializing online. 

I just read the article on Ohio and its strategies on addressing the needs of attracting students for the 21st century.  It was interesting how Ohio was able to identify its weaknesses & able to formulate a strategy to address the challenges of enrolling more students especially adults from the age of 25 to 49 years old.  I guess educational institutions also must utilize marketing strategies to remain competitive and financially solvent in today's economy.

It was also interesting to me how the article states that buildings become physically obsolete after forty years.  Ohio like other states will be facing a budgetary crisis in renovating and replacing old and obsolete facilities.     

The other readings were just as interesting although I was not able to get printouts and had to read the material from my computer monitor.  I have to get used to reading straight from a computer monitor since this is a "paper less" class.  It was frustrating, however, not to be able to get a reading that was assigned.
