The best moment just happened...

My friend snapped me a video of her seven year old daughter searching YouTube to learn how to work a new toy. I'm pretty sure this is a prime example of how younger children (and many adults) are learning these days. 

They are pulling in visual information from social media to enhance their knowledge. 

YouTube is great for tutorials, and it's my go to to see how to do anything: Cooking, putting together furniture, and while I'm not big into make up or doing hair I still find it interesting to watch. 

Enjoy this video of a little girl "playing" with make-up. She's using her creativity to transform from a consumer to a producer. 


What kind of how-to videos would you make and post? What are you great at doing that you'd like to share with others?

Have you ever just been so overwhelmed with stuff? Like it's literally everywhere and won't stop piling up? That's how I initially felt when I entered my first Twitter chat today. I was just there to observe and see how it works but my goodness!! I felt like I needed to have my phone updating the feed, then have two or three desktop windows open to click on other hashtags, look at profiles, post, and another window to find GIFS because apparently that's a thing on Twitter chats... who knew? But with all things in life, I just went with the flow. I stopped worrying about EVERY post and started reading the repetitive tweeters, I'd stop at random spots to slowly scroll when the feed became too much, and of course anything that the host posted I took notice of.  While this may not be the best tactic as a chat host, because you really should be paying attention to more than a few people, it worked for me as an observer with zero experience. Eventually, I

This week is closing to an end and I'm thinking how can I get ahead of all the responsibilities I have to complete for my summer classes?!? When will I research this, write this, or submit this?... hello time management! At work, I had this feeling of "there's never enough time" especially when Thursday rolled around. But that comes naturally when dealing with multiple project and task deadlines, right? To be honest, all I could think about throughout the week was spending time with my family to celebrate birthdays and the 4th of July. I was looking forward to waking up each morning with a beach view, a cup of coffee in hand, and the struggle of the day is what bathing suit I'd wear. Well, TODAY IS THE DAY! We made it to the island! For the next week I will relinquish all work responsibility and focus on being a student and soaking up the sun. I envision my next week being similar to working at home? Have any of you worked from home as an instructional des

The time has come the walrus said... to dive into the world of Web 2.0, collaboration, social media, and social networking. From now until August, my sources of inspiration will focus on what I'm learning in my Instructional Systems and Learning Technology class at Florida State University- EME6414: Web 2.0-based Learning and Performance. I've been eager to start this class and am looking forward to posting about what I'm learning, reflecting on how it'll affect my design and development processes, and what I can do with my new found wisdom to influence how people learn, work, and use tools that foster inquiry and collaboration. Let the adventure begin and Go Noles!
