In the December 10, 2007 edition of The eLearning Guilds Learning Solutions magazine, Reuben Tozman (President and founder of edCetra Training ) gets into this topic in The Next Generation of Instructional Designers. But Im not sure I can get people to hold their answers back. Sorry Tony, but Im going to jump into the conversation now.

Monday, November 05, 2007 Instructional Design Inspiration As I mentioned last week , Im in the midst of designing my first custom eLearning course in quite awhile. Now that Ive been actually doing some writing, Im having to put it all to work. Ideally, Im trying to figure out how to make this a bit interactive.
Wednesday, June 17, 2009 The Scrambled Egg Mind of a Beginner Apparently, when Tom Kuhlman links to your blog, crazy things happen. Im in that beginner-mind zone. Although Ive been doing this work for 15ish years, the ground beneath me is shaky and I feel like Im in new waters, navigating new people, new processes, new tools.
Wednesday, January 14, 2009 Interviews on Instructional Design Last night, Dr. John Curry interviewed me for his Introduction to Instructional Design class.

Im excited to go to as many sessions as I can. Im excited to pick peoples brains. And Im wondering if Im missing something really cool.
Im no Facebook super-user and I havent experienced a huge time suck from it, but I suppose its possible. Cammy, Im just a "lite" Facebook user, but I have seen profile pages that list their workplaces with commentary about how horrible their company is, or how much they hate their job. And Im in complete agreement.
So, what do I do if Im not doing that? Solution Design: Design from a functional perspective, not the look and feel. Im not such an anal person, so this isnt my favorite thing in the world. And Im really excited about the project Im working on. Havent written a course script in a long time here. The website copy.
Monday, June 25, 2007 Getting Pysched for FaceBook Im definitely feeling out-of-my element in this whole FaceBook thing. Im trying to get into it and discover its potential professional uses. Im just scratching the surface, I suppose. Im feeling lonely and really nerdy. Id like to push this somehow, but Im not sure.
Im looking for some input: good examples of software product training. Im working on a pitch to a software company -- technical audience (think database guys). Im not looking to work with another vendor, Im just looking to see good examples of software training to make sure Im not behind the times!
Tuesday, March 25, 2008 Jott This Blog I havent had so much time lately to blog, as this project Im working on has been quite grueling. I find my best time for thinking up excellent blog entries is late at night when Im lying in bed. That is, of course, if Im even awake after the kids have finally fallen asleep.
For various reasons, Im not going to go back to school to get a Masters Degree in instructional design. But I firmly believe that this journey Im on is giving me the experience and educational equivalent (if not better) than a formal M.Ed. Even though Ive been doing this ("instructional design") for over ten years, Im starting over.

Friday, April 03, 2009 On Reflective Learning I clipped this a year ago, with the intention (I suppose) of writing more on the subject in order to become more engaged with the content and thus more capable.

Back to the Google Desktop -- Im playing around a bit with the searching capabilities and am seeing the light. Im struggling a bit with figuring out how to set the preferences so that it searches where I need it to search (I save most of my files to a shared network drive; not locally). So the search feature -- I get that and Im sold.
Im not a techie -- far from it. Im an instructional designer with an emphasis on writing and schmoozing. Google Alerts A nice adjunct to Google Reader; Im always discovering something new via my "instructional design" alert. Im #34 on the list. Google Reader All the news I need to know about e-Learning in one place.
" This adage works for me most of the time as Im designing eLearning courses. Right now, Im feeling like just getting to good would be an achievement. Right now, Im proofing a storyboard thats full of endless text bullets and boring software demos with no interactivity -- and theres really nothing I can do about it.
Im literally not a gamer. Im not sure how I got into games.but I think it had something to do with PONG. But Im so lost at sea for the most part in these environments. But Im no gamer. I dont do the online social games, so Im not a Gamer 4.0, but Im definitely a gamer. 12:21 PM Clive Shepherd said.
Im losing my steam, but trying to stay somewhat on target. So go ahead and "Email or IM another blogger in your niche to introduce yourself and your blog". I want to share as much as I can about projects Im working on. Im not sure Ill bother with that. Im not sure if it does much for a site with minimal traffic.
Im not talking about the quantity of my friends, but rather the breadth and depth. Im not sure if there was a specific tipping point for me, but I was certainly amused when one of my friends informed me that Im personally responsible for making her waste more time on Facebook than she ever thought possible. Think Uggs.
In fact, Ive had very little of interest to add to any conversation of late, mostly because Im much more focused on my personal life and the many transitions Im handling there. Hey Cammy--you know me, I think you can always apply the personal to the professional, so Im with Karl that you should blog about the Wii.
Thursday, February 08, 2007 Back to bloggin Im gonna try this again. And so now I feel compelled to enter the conversation, although Im not sure yet if I have anything to add. Im gonna try it.

Im not blogging for the money or the fame, but I am in it for the community, networking and learning opportunities. Im already behind.

Thursday, February 12, 2009 My Blogs Personality Type Well, it isnt very glamorous or creative sounding. Okay, Im stunned there are so many INTJs here since as a general rule, INTJs are only about 5% of population (Im guessing here). Im an INTJ and it says my blog is an ESTP.
