		<title>Global Potential Project- Twitter Overview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone, In our group presentation we discussed using social media to connect Global Potential&#8217;s audience to their storytelling contest. Twitter was the medium I chose to extrapolate on. Twitter is a great way for any company or organization to not only establish a voice/online personality, but also to communicate on a personal, one-on-one basis [...]]]></description>

		<title>Final Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to take a second to post my overall thoughts on virtual learning environments (the concept, not the class).

		<description><![CDATA[Hey all- Here&#8217;s the media from our project with Global Kids &#8211; Let&#8217;s Talk Sustainability! This was such a great experience!  While I was familiar with Second Life and had done a project prior for an employer, I never got to this level of exploration within an environment.  I&#8217;m really fascinated how I correlate our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a course!  I truly appreciate not only the knowledge I&#8217;ve gained via our instructor, the readings, working in the sites, etc. but also from my fellow students.  This has certainly been the most interactive and engaging online class I&#8217;ve taken, and that interactivity has paid off. Andrew and/or I will include the files from [...]]]></description>
