Networked Learning Project or How I Plan to Prepare for the Women's PGA Tour

   In my many roles in life, I get the chance to be a teacher, but I also have many opportunities to be a student. Besides what I've learned through my formal education, some of the things I've learned are how to cook, to balance schedules in a family of eight, to operate the snow blower, and thanks to my daughters, what NOT to wear. I've always believed that we all need to be lifetime learners, so I'm looking forward to the opportunity to use the Internet to teach me something. After raising six kids, I finally have some free time on my hands. I've decided that what I really want to learn is how to play golf (since it is considered a "leisure" sport after all.)
     I've played golf a few times but I'm so terrible that it's embarrassing. The worst part for me is driving the ball off the tee. If it was supposed to stay on the ground or go into a pond, I'd be pretty good. However, I'm told that's not how it works. Any one of the bad golf shots in the following video could be mine:





I'm looking forward to developing a drive that is straight, long, and more importantly, airborne. If I'm successful, and if I can really use the Internet to learn to golf, who knows what's next? The Women's PGA Tour? Let's set the bar high!
