Get up close and personal with #Google #Draw. This brief intro video is on the application itself with subsequent videos focused on creating #Diagrams and Simple #Drawings in Google Draw. Great #Collaborative #Educational tool. #EdToolDesign @Google

Interesting article on how a "Strange, Broken, Font" can help you learn. It lends credence to the idea that deep learning can happen when a student is challenged.

Does anyone know of a good "Learning Paths" design tool? I need to consolidate the Udemy courses into learning paths for our employees and would like to have a nice visual representation. #EdToolDesign

A lot of times, the technical training involves complex concepts. These can be hard to describe; however, lately, I have been using Coggle https://t.co/gr99Kv3xJy as a way to visually share complex information. You should check it out!

My favorite reading on Instructional Design is the book Design for How People Learn by Julie Dirksen -- it is a fun and easy read with lots of insight. You can find the book on Amazon, but here is a link to a PodCast with Julie Dirksen: https://t.co/5nGUUSrGC8

Ever wonder what the difference is between an object or a class when programming in Java? This fun little video is clear, easy to follow and is relevant https://t.co/b1tfUnMYjz. There is also a great summary on web-based usability design https://t.co/M1z0o8mS7B #EdToolDesign

Great podcast from CBC Day 6 on how the “internet of things” makes it almost impossible to hide online. Perfect timing as this is one of the topics for our group discussion
