EDC 668 - Week 10 Blog - posting #101!

What types of influence do I have in my current local and global communities? How can I expand that influence?

This question reminds me of a leadership assignment I just completed where I was asked to describe the future of my leadership (on all levels). While it was similar, I did not expand my leadership to the global communities, of which I will try and do here.

Current Local Community: In my local community, I have a great deal of influence as I am a classroom teacher with many connections to students and adults (their parents). I also work in a school district of 22,000 students and many employees. I am a voter in a community of approximately 63,000 people and have connections to many people because of the city-suburbian culture in which I live. Online, I have even more community which I consider to be local as well (just a click away) but moreso global because what I read/reflect can be read worldwide and impact essentially anyone who stumbles upon what I have written.

Global Community: Within the global community, I am an avid Internet user who contributes to the Internet through blogs, wikis, discussion postings, and by creating 2 websites of which are open to the public. I have contributed to multiple types of blogs (some closed, some open) and to websites like wikipedia of which are open-source and available to all who contribute and attain knowledge.

How can I expand that influence? I can expand my influence by learning from others but also contributing my learning/reflections on the Internet. I can also expand my influence by informing and educating the students I teach, their parents, my fellow colleagues and administrators about technology and sharing their knowledge.

Ahoy
I used this excellent prog DRM-removal and used it for removing drm from itunes protected audios a years ago, it did the job well, btw. Then I bought mp3 player and it could't play my wma files so I decided to [url=http://drm-removal.com]convert wma to mp3[/url] with drm-removal. It works like a charm! Just some clicks, you only need to click "Add" button and choose the folder of wma files. They will convert all the tracks at once at a really high speed. If you have the same question and need to convert wma to mp3, you should try drm-removal!
I am big fan of audiobooks and actually wonder, if it legal. I bought a book (now its mine!) from napster, but may be its drm and I can't copy it to my MP3 player!! Thats dick!! I can remove drm - but what about legacy?

thanks in advance!
