Johnson Smithwood replied to David Spafford's discussion Learning Management Systems"David,
As a long time medic and current IT developer, I think the question lies in how much time/resources you are willing to invest in a LMS. The advantage to something like Centrelearn is canned content, a turn key system and most things you…"

Teaching
I am currently teaching my first EMT refresher and am loving every minute of it. I have no idea why I waited this long to do this. It really helps when you have students that respect what you are doing and seem to be getting something from the information I am delivering.

- yeah but you have other needs in your life besides being just warm. One needs respect from one another and in TN you get that.

- well if one wants to live for themselves, make money and just enjoy the weather, that's a great place for one to be, but on the other hand when someone wants to be a part of a community, where people come together to help one another and put aside ALL their differences, then that's where that person shall be. My life investment is not in financial gain, it's of humanity. The idea of life is not to make a living, make a life and then after you do that, your living will follow. Besides, people actually wave to you with all five fingers up here instead of one down there. When someone is in need, the whole community comes together to help that person. When people say, life should be that way, well life is that way here.
