From NMSU Hotline: NM online learning policies and practices ranks nationally

Great news from VSS, but forgot to report here. NMSU Hotline for today reminded me:

New Mexico’s eLearning support system, IDEAL-NM (www.ideal-nm.org), has been ranked number six in the country for online learning policies and practices by The Center for Digital Education. IDEAL-NM provides eLearning services in partnership with K-12, higher education and state agencies.

Two programs administered through NMSU, NM Learning Network Program (www.nmln.org ) and RETA (reta.nmsu.edu), have been integral to the success of IDEAL-NM.

For a more qualitative look at perspectives on the economy, you can try Twist to graph trending topics in Twitter (here's one of 'economy', 'dow,' and 'stocks').

I do fancy visualizations of various things via the internet. In doing so I happened upon




and




both of which are interesting ways to look at graphs of the economy.

I hope this was helpful if you happen to be searching for those terms. May your journeys through the interwebs be prosperous.
