Applications...even outside the classroom

I feel like I'm not the traditional student for this course since I don't currently work in the K-12 classroom.  I am an inspector in the local Fire Marshal's office.  That being said, there are a multitude of applications in my field for the various technology tools covered in this course.  Blogs, podcasts, wikis, Flickr, Twitter...the whole shooting match could be utilized in one fashion or another on a daily basis.  Collaboration with other fire inspectors, building officials, code developers and interaction with various public groups which also includes public and private schools.  My office comes in contact with a lot of people on a daily basis and after completing this course I feel like I can help our office be more "techno" savvy.
