Never Stop Learning
I woke up hours late today and totally out of it. I’m not sick sick, but something was weighing on me heavily enough to convince myself: time for a mental health day. As soon as I made that decision, I felt lighter! I don’t have plans for today, apart from reading, walking Cheyenne, and maybe […]

Last Summer
Last summer I was still working in higher education as an “eLearning Specialist,” doing zero eLearning and doing too much “teaching people how to Zoom for the 700th time.” I was very bored. Be careful what you wish for…because a few months later, I left that job, and I haven’t been bored since! But I […]

Connections > Content
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, and I was finally inspired to take a break from doom-posting (intermixed with exuberant joy-posting, because that’s just my style) on Twitter to write a lil’ post about why we struggle with design vs. delivery. 🧵 embed below. If the Design is Good, Why Do We Miss in […]

The Problem with Envelope Stuffers
Here’s a post I’ve drafted in my head for a while and spoken to a few friends and colleagues about. It’s about a math problem. My answer: need more information. We can’t assume that all workers are equally skilled at envelope stuffing, have the same mental and physical capabilities to do that task in exactly […]

En route to Westcliffe
That was neat! I hope that captions (auto and ability to edit before publishing) are coming soon. #a11y Westcliffe is a dark sky community, with rules about light/screens at night. It’s a scenic, quaint mountain town. We found a pet friendly little motel, and a Cheyenne is being a good girl in the back seat. […]

Learning Styles Clickbait, Part 2
It’s late and I want to use today’s post to celebrate one of my favorite blocks — image compare. You want your colleagues to learn how to tie their shoes. How would you design the best learning experience for visual vs. auditory learners? Flip between the images below to see what I’d choose for visual […]
