I have already used some of the information presented. I used Vox Proxy, which is a software that was mentioned in this book. It helped me though my "Personalization" project. It was a free trial download. That chapter, in fact, is one that I'll refer to frequently. It offered many websites, online tools, and ideas for designing with little or not cost, which is something I need!

Chapters 10 and 11 will help me one day, I'm sure. But it involves having a budget, which I don't right now. So I read it, noted what she had to say, and then tucked it away for another day in the future when I might actually have a budget!

She offered a few great charts to help in deciding what solution was best for the situation. These included technology assessments, brain learning styles, advantages of email games, and choosing vendors, to name a few. I will re-visit these often, no doubt.

This book also included a plethora of sample online lessons, and pointed out the pros and cons of each, depending on needs. What I liked also, was that she says that we should mix it up and offer a variety of types of lessons to appeal to the senses and learning styles of the learners. I will refer to these regularly as I am designing my own course.
