It felt really good to get such positive feedback on my instructional design.  AND, I have an interview this week where they asked to see some of my manuals/design work. I can quickly change all the “Customers” to “Members” and tote that along with me.  None of my stuff is terribly professional in presentation – [...]

I loved that project!  I really could do that for a living and it wouldn’t be like work.  If I had started earlier, I would have spent a lot more time going back over details.  Truth is that I wanted to start on that design the first week of the semester.  It sounded like such [...]

So, my love/hate relationship with feedback has reared its head!  I love feedback because it makes me better.  It makes me better at what I do and how I do it.  I am a downright feedback junkie.  I hate feedback because I want to argue with what people tell me.  I want to point out [...]

I am a crazy HUGE fan of training objectives!  I hang them on my wall like a poster every chance I get!  They give direction and meaning to everything done in the classroom.  But, I really hate writing them…  They have covered my assets in a corporate setting…

I think I am intrigued because I have always wanted to be more “artistic” or even just be able to draw…  The drawing classes have always [...]

First, I have had a great week so far.  For some reason, I have been really kind of blue for the past few weeks.  No job, grandmother’s accident, being sick, taxes (I owe WAY more than I had anticipated), and the honeymoon is over with the new house.  This week, it all slipped to the [...]

Oh, there are so many more choices now with the way we’re looking at doing the individual demonstrations.  I would love to present on Graphic Facilitation and/or using flip charts and white boards better.  It is something that I would like to learn more about.    I could also fall back on some of the financial [...]

I used to get really frustrated when it was time to learn a new model for instructional design.  I never felt like I was in a place to really implement a “model” of design.  At work, someone comes to me and says something like: “We need a class, by the end of this week, to [...]
