On Friday, I had the privilege of presenting at the eACH 2013 Conference in Toronto.  One of the topics I presented on was using PowerPoint as an Image Editing Tool.  Here are the notes for this presentation.  Hopefully this will still be of use to those that may not have been in attendance.

Unfortunately I had 2 webinars I wanted to attend at the same session.  Here are my notes from the first half of Julie’s session, which I was very much enjoying.

This was a fantastic session and if you get a chance to listen to Jane  over the coming months speak again on this topic, I highly recommend that you do. I don’t actually think my sketchnotes are improving in the fact that there are still so many words on the page and less images.  However, the format really appeals to ...

Recently I was tasked with finding a simple yet robust place that members of a particular learning program could access to communicate and share ideas with one another.  I’ve used several tools in the past and have been successful, but have found some challenges with them as well. I have found that Google Groups just seems to get very text ...

An interesting thing happened to me yesterday when I was visiting with my family, my father stunned me and ‘schooled’ me once again that generational differences don’t make much difference at all. The set up: My brother comes into the room to show me the latest tickets that him and my father will be using to attend a local concert. ...

No, seriously…I’m asking. I continue to struggle with my LMS as I’m sure many of you do with your selected systems.  However, I’m at a point where I feel I’m losing my mind.  I’m not sure how many times an end-user should have to test the functionality of an upgrade before it is implemented.  Even if the answer is one ...

I sat in on Roger Courville‘s presentation today called "From Complex to Simple: How to Make Hard Subjects Easy Through Story Based Learning".  Hosted by GoToTraining. I think I did better in using more images and less words this time. My step-daughter is really good at taking pencil sketches and using an app (and just her finger) to create digital ...

I’ve been plagued lately with an issue at work were I design a course and it functions correctly on my computer, but then I get complaints from staff that it freezes at certain points on them.  The issue further seemed to be muddled in mystery in that of the 9 computers I have daily access to; 5 worked and 4 ...

I was at my nephew’s soccer game last night and was thrilled to be able to watch the final game of the season.  I’ll note here that these are a bunch of 3-5 year-olds.  For the first 30 minutes of "practice" there were a few drills - maneuvering the ball through cones and kicking on the net.  The kids were ...

I just had a very interesting encounter in the washroom here at work. (Wow if that isn’t quite the opening line.) Where my office is at work the closest washroom is a public washroom and being on the main floor near the lobby it get a lot of traffic. I went in this morning to rinse my mug out and ...
