Online casino bluebook

Every now and then, we get advertisement placed in our site. A recent one we got lately is from the online casino bluebook. The site is a guide to popular online casinos and poker rooms.

The site ranks online casinos by bonus size, payout percentage, customer service, game features, number of games, software graphics, and ease of use. It will be interesting to know how many of these sites are actually hosted in the Philippines where registration is allowed in some of our economic zones.

It can't be denied that despite legal impediments in some countries, online casinos and gambling are still growing since they first started going online in the late 90s. The site reported that there are nearly 800 online casinos on the Internet today.

I wish I have known of this site much earlier. I had an inquiry this year about doing a market research on online casinos operating in some countries. This site has done its research and even listed online casino sites that requires no deposit.

It includes a listing of bingo hall, poker rooms, and even sportsbook where it marked those allowing horse betting as well.

Serious players and prospective entrepreneurs could consider joining its newsletter also as a $1000 monthly giveaway is raffled every month.

Cheaper and faster bandwidth makes Internet video e-learning possible

The other day, I found out that I'm one of the speakers in the recent Y4iT event to talk about E-Learning. As I'm taking a break in Adelaide, I had to develop a video tutorial within the day that can be played in the said event.



Yesterday, the feedback that I got was positive and felt a great relief. I guess with cheaper and faster bandwidth, it is much easier nowadays to develop online video e-learning programs and disseminate it to anyone interested, regardless of where they are in the world.

Perhaps initiatives such as the Mindanao eLearning Space (MeLS) which was launched last August 26, 2005 would perform better. MeLS is an electronic online learning program for Department of Education's teachers and principals in Region 11, 12 and the Autonomous Region for Moslem Mindanao (ARMM), to improve their competencies in teaching and school management. The program was allocated at least P4 million a year from 2005 until 2008 funded by the Australian Government's Basic Education Assistance for Mindanao (BEAM) with a 10% counterpart funding from the Department of Education. It was jointly developed by DepEd, BEAM and the University of Southeastern Philippines.

Participants were given CD-ROMS and learners guide for the program, and in the e-learning space, assignments, exams, presentations and discussions get disseminated. Visiting
Mindanao eLearning Space does not give indication on how much has been achieved since it started.
