Survey Results
What did you like most?
We could all make comments when it fit into our own personal schedule. It made it very easy to participate.
I have never used a blog before, so it was interesting to see what it is all about. I really liked how we were all able to stay in touch remotely.
Communication through e-mails can sometimes be overwhelming. This form of communicating doesn't seem as intense.
I liked to read someone's take on the information. It helped me see the information in a new lights I liked the opportunity to share things/ points of interest with others on non-critical topics in a non-critical approach.

Survey Results
What did you like least?
I think that while this form of communication is effective when used, I also think that without the discipline to utilize it, it may slip away. Also the topics were a little bit off of our general interest.
I cannot really think of anything I disliked. The only challenge I experienced was in posting the link for my article.
Nothing.... it really was fun.

Survey Results
Would you like the blog to continue?
Yes – 2No – 2
If yes, what other topics should we cover? If we continue to do this in the future I would like to see us focus
on topics that will help us to enhance our performance skills - leadership/ time management/ communication skills/ computer skills, etc.
Trainer Best Practices. Could also have ties to Personal Excellence Workshop.

Survey Results
What else can blogs be used for in training/the workplace?
It is a great way to chat about policy or things like that after we've read the actual policy - blog about how it affects the unit members. Also great as a way for managers to connect with their people.
I think they are a great way for administration members to share best practices and contribute their ideas to large masses of people!
It may be a great tool for our Skills Coaches. Could be used to channel best practices or provide feedback on different learning activities they may need to complete.
Would be a great tool to use before and after a training event. A great way for the participants to get to know each other and the facilitator.
