First Day of Internship and Web 2.0

Day 1 of Internship:
Well as I mentioned in my previous blogs, I made it to Salt Lake on Saturday. Today was my first day on the job for the LDS Church. The building that you see here is where I am working. I am on the 27th floor and the view is spectacular. After getting all of my security, and parking passes taken care of I was put right to work on my first project. The project is designed to send text messages to members of our church to give them an inspirational uplift during the day. Members can then give feedback and post comments to others. The project involves a lot of research on the best types of software to use, the feedback that needs to be obtained from the users (including polling results), costs etc. I will be working with the curriculum department (can you say instructional design) on this project. After this gets done, I will be assigned to other projects within the company.

As I am working in the Audio Visual department, I must say that technology here is impressive. They have every type of gadget and gizmo that you can imagine. It is like a techno-geeks paradise.

The church is very much into Web 2.0 and they have both a Facebook page and a Twitter feed, among other technologies. I will keep you updated on my work here and how it fits into the Web 2.0 landscape.
