And I thought I was organized?!?

 Again, new at Pocket, but found this article about Using This Method Could Cut Your Email Time in Half. Here's a series of videos about it. There are 9 videos, each is under 15 minutes, most are 5-10 minutes.

Now, I'm thinking that some of you can identify with managing your inbox effectively, especially after your digital detox challenge. I saved it to my list, bookmarked it, emailed it to myself at work to share with colleagues, Tweeted it to #eme6414 - I think I'm getting the hang of this . . .

How this class has already changed my world.

Unlike a lot of you, I have experienced living in a world without the internet, the PC era, Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Web 2.5. and Web 3.0; looking forward to 4.0. Social networking occurred in person, a social networking site was the employee lounge, cafeteria, or the bar/restaurant around the corner, for some, the golf course. Your community was your neighborhood, your classmates, your workmates, your family. Opening a business in 1985, I knew that technology would save me time and money, provide better customer service, and allow me to expand. I embraced email to communicate with my clients, Lotus for accounting, WordPerfect for newsletters. If I remember correctly, I had a website within a couple of years. It had drop down menus that you could get information about the business, but you had to pick up a phone to have a conversation; Yelp did not exist. Networking before the internet involved phone calls, snail mail, and in person conversations. You had 3 choices. There are so many resource...

Cultural Considerations

This class has provided overwhelming options to engage and connect with learners; if these learners have access and know how to navigate in the Web 2.0 world. So many do not, so I wonder how we as designers can become proponents/advocates for moving all learners into the ICT world. Even in the US (during lockdown), we had children sitting in parking lots, on hot pavement, with school-issued shared laptops to connect to a school bus that served as a hotspot, just so that they could learn. How can we better prepare these learners in a F2F environment for the eventuality of an ICT environment as they are further their education or enter the workforce. I came across the ICT4E and ICT4D concepts in my EME 5601 class after reading an article by Heaster-Ekholm, Popular Instructional Design Models: Their Theoretical Roots and Cultural Considerations. What grabbed my attention was the cultural considerations piece. I knew about SCORM, but I had never heard about Information and Communication T...

Shameless Bragging, or was this a slow news week . . .

Back in 2012, when Trayvon Martin was shot by an auxiliary officer in Florida, we (FDLE Curriculum Staff) were in the process of updating the auxiliary law enforcement officer program to mirror the appropriate sections of the basic law enforcement program. There was nothing we could at the time to change the training, so we brainstormed what we could do with the next versions of the training programs to address social injustice. Frankly, if nothing came from the field, we weren’t going to do anything. However, across Florida, training center directors, instructors, and commanding officers began drafting white papers to bring officer-involved shootings to the forefront of conversations within the Commission. We put together a Community Safety Workgroup from across Florida in 2015 and by 2017 published Strengthening the Bonds of Trust between Law Enforcement and the Public. Four years and many hurricanes, workshops, and meetings later, we rolled out the results of this effort July 1, ...
