What is Bluebeam?

As a construction project manager at Idaho State University, I use Bluebeam regularly, and I’ve come to realize that it’s more than just a PDF markup tool. It’s actually a powerful learning resource. I mentioned this software program in my last blog, not even thinking some people might not know what this software is. Bluebeam is a software program designed for working with construction documents. It allows users to view, mark up, measure, and organize digital drawings and PDFs. Instead of printing plans and making handwritten notes, everything can be done digitally and shared with others instantly.

What makes Bluebeam stand out is how interactive it is. Users can add comments, symbols, measurements, and even custom tool sets that match industry standards. This turns static drawings into something much more engaging and educational. There are different price plans for Bluebeam, allowing it to be a full function project management software and the less expensive PDF tool software.

 From this week's video, I find PLNs a little overwhelming. I do not know if it is because of my age, but thinking about how individual PLNs are formed feels like a lot. After a lot of thinking, I realize I am constantly building an individual PLN. I do feel my "accidental" PLN is already in place. I have worked in the field of project management for over 15 years, with experience in construction for nearly 30 years. I have many colleagues, social bookmarks, content development already under my belt. I realize I video conference nearly daily in regards to my professional career. What might seem a daily tasks, are just notches in my PLN development.

 Welcome to my first blog post! I am very new to this process, and I feel like I am going to learn a lot using a new technology. I feel like blog posts are old for some people, but I have never used one. I am hoping to use this technology to introduce other students to new types of technology, especially in the field of project management. Best of luck to everyone this semester.

First off the bat, I noticed the best blogs are easier to read. I already applied a new template to my blog to make it easier on the eyes. The next thing I noticed, is short stories or paragraphs help organize information. For example, the EdTech Blog is organized so someone could pick a topic and see the according information easily. I would also include providing value would be an important part of a blog post. Hopefully I can use some of these as examples of how to incorporate a good blog post.
