Share and Voice: A Green Greenhouse



Hey Everyone!

I have always been interested in identifying different types of plants. I think I have acquired that knowledge because my ma happens to be a floral designer so I suppose it makes sense. Now I'm not the one to really further my education into becoming a plant taxonomist because its really just a small side hobby for me. It's really just nice to have this green piece of life by you which also happens to be beneficial by reducing CO2. Well I guess the main point of this post is that while I was sitting at my desk with my bonsai ficus tree (I encourage everyone to get one) and jade plant perched on the window sill, I was wondering if there "green homes" for them. By green homes (I'm sure you guessed it!) I mean green greenhouses. I'm not sure how many of you also own a couple different plant but this greenhouse I found would be a cool little home to make sure your plants get the right amount of sunlight. I found this miniature green house made entirely out of recycled plastic so you get to support the environment in two ways. The greenhouse was created by Daniel Schipper and is posted on his blog. Check it out --> Folding Greenhouse.

Enjoy!

Advocacy Project: Health IT Puzzle

Hi Webgroup!

So I had a little bit of trouble trying to find an interactive game that would spark your interest in Health Care Information Technology but didn't have to much luck finding anything...I then just decided to make a crossword search, guessing that a few college students may still do these so it would seem like the best alternative idea with a topic that is a bit difficult to develop an interactive game.

This will be just like any other crossword puzzle but you will first need to read a couple articles to help you in completing this activity. After reading it you simply have to answers each question to figure out what word you must fill in.

Articles to boost you Health IT Knowledge:

Interoperabilty: The Key to the Future Health Care Systems
Defining and Delivering Interoperable Health Information Technology - Sections on Adoption, Health IT 101 and Social Benefits
Health Information Technology

Click HERE to start the puzzle.

Best of luck!
