Designing instruction at Soomo Learning. Fascinated by the intersection of enduring truth and this moment.

The most impactful change I’ve made recently:

Starting a Story Log

Here’s what it is (and how it can help you too):

Big data will tell you what happens, when it’s happening, and maybe where it’s happening. But it won’t tell you why it’s happening, or even how. You need to talk to people for that. - from panel on Strategies for Sharing Insights that Ignite Action. #uxpa2019 ⁦@UXPA_Int⁩

I’m always proud of our webtext production team. If there were awards for copyediting, language usage, or attention to detail — they’d win. Until then, we congratulate these three on a perfect night at the Literacy Council Spelling Bee.

[Soomo Learning @SoomoLearning]

Congrats to our production editors on their @LitCouncil spelling bee win last night. Their winning word was taaffeite, which is a very rare gem—just like them. Good job guys!

I never regret reading Clark’s “Inside Design” newsletter from @InVisionApp. Worth subscribing just to get puns of this quality in my inbox: “UX is smart, UX is kind, UX is important” #thehelp #ux #designthinking

I maintain that being able to joke about theory is a sign of fluency with it and a desirable teaching goal: if you can't play with it, then it's not a tool—it's a burden.

Great Quote "(Instructional Designers) you are not alone, we're all figuring out how to do this job that no one knows how to tell us to do" ~ @tjoosten #OLCInnovate #olcsquadgoals

Generously sharing what people have learned is a big part of what makes #OLCInnovate so valuable. Thanks to @mgoudz, @tfwosborne, and @lolomc and the entire audience. #edtech https://t.co/5qyBDkA0c9

Great comment from yesterday's #DLNchat responding to the question "What’s been your biggest failure in experimenting with new products? What did you learn?" https://t.co/igtC1l1cAG

[Dr. Jenae Cohn (@[email protected]) @Jenae_Cohn]

#Q4 My biggest failures with testing new tech always emerge out of trying out a solution before I've thought through its full learning potential. Tools never work well when the learning need is not aligned. #DLNchat

@SpotifyCares That helped. Thanks!

[David Lindrum @lindrum]

@SpotifyCares I get this report from half a dozen people. And it fails for me in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari (but only in private window)

[David Lindrum @lindrum]

@SpotifyCares when I share a link using https://t.co/p5ADvJQrBM others get a 500 server error. Example: https://t.co/eloFTbZn4M

Analytics help indicate which students need help. But the data show us far less than the whole person. #learninganalytics https://t.co/AjmfJzJm7T

Huh? Traveling to a conference on a Sunday & away from fam for Valentine's Day? How I must love the, #ELI2017.

@whitneykilgore @UFTawnya Thanks Whitney. IronChef was an amazing reminder for me of how questions open doors. Frame a challenge, and look.
