Okay, time to break out the old "memory" here, since this course happened in May of this year. I am incredibly lucky to work for an organization that values our professional development. So much so, that they allowed our entire content development team to travel to San Diego for the ATD International Conference (blog post forthcoming) and take Master courses prior to the event. I opted to take the Master Instructional Design course and I would HIGHLY recommend it!

It has been an absolutely crazy summer! I needed to get back into blogging, so here I am! I don't really have content for this particular post, but a few things you can expect in the future from me are:
My Fall Semester has started and I'm extremely excited to be taking a course on eLearning design! Expect more posts on those topics as the semester progresses as well. In other news, I'm a month into the process of moving from Pennsylvania back to Michigan (see: it's been a crazy summer). This is a long-time coming and we're absolutely thrilled to be back in our home state. Adventuring around the country has been fun, but house projects are what we're looking forward to now. I may start another blog around that (for me to eventually abandon, knowing me).
My project is complete! After a round of reviews and fighting with design tools, I have finished a pecha kucha-styled presentation about Archery! It didn't end up being quite what I started out designing, but I'm really happy with the result. Given the time restrictions, I had to drop the part about the history of archery, but for the purposes of the presentation I think that would have been filler anyway, so the formatting did end up leading me to a more concise presentation.
Next up on my projects list is a Pecha Kucha-style presentation around literally my favorite topic: Archery!
I have been challenged to tell a story in five photos, no explanation. Without further ado...
Today I watched two TedEx videos, Draw more, together and Why people believe they can't draw and how to prove they can, which talked about basic drawing skills and how everyone can communicate visually, whether or not they're an "artist." I've always considered myself a pretty artistic person, but I think what limits me sometimes is my tendency towards perfectionism. If I'm going to draw something, I want it to be good. I say all the time, I don't do things halfway. If I'm being creative these days, there is likely an audience attached to it and a certain level of "professionalism" that needs to accompany the creativity. So where does this drawing business fit in?
I set out on this blog post with the goal of reviewing an infographic for principles of CARP, which has been very fun, but my biggest challenge was choosing just one! I've been a big fan of infographics for some time now, and I have a ton saved on my various Pinterest boards. It's even a category of documents my team creates on our project request form! So, narrowing it down to just ONE infographic took me longer than I care to admit. Anyway, on to my review!
