Kenneth Fee's book was a timely read for me in 2009! fine line continued my reading in 2009 around design, not specifically learning design in this case. The Designful Company. | STICKY LEARNING AUGUST 12, 2009 The Powerpoint Dozen I use Powerpoint in some of the workshops I run, not all, but when it suits the audience, venue and most importantly learning objectives. have, on the other hand, been a participant where slides have been the 'star'! Slides that contained too much text in colours and sizes that were too hard to read and more bullets than Ned Kelly's last stand! That said, Powerpoint can have its place. So I've put together a list of 10(+1) tips for using Powerpoint more effectively. Plan your workshop. Ask yourself what is the best way to get the message/learning across. Story before slides. How much text? | | | | | |
| STICKY LEARNING OCTOBER 25, 2009 Twitter for learning Why wouldn't you use Twitter?! I've only been actively participating on Twitter for 4-5 months now. tweet (as @stickylearning ) mainly about learning related topics and follow people who also have learning as their main focus. I'm also interested in how design thinking impacts upon learning and the use of visuals to communicate ideas and knowledge. In the few months that I've been active on Twitter I have been exposed to more ideas from more sources than in whole years previously. Twitter keeps me current. could attend workshops, but they take time and cost money. on Twitter. rnarchana. c4lpt. | STICKY LEARNING DECEMBER 14, 2009  Online social networks, learning and viral expansion loops It's just about Christmas time and now is the time of end of year catch ups and Christmas parties. The most common question at these is, 'so what have you been up to lately?" I respond, 'well I'm becoming more and more interested in the use of social media and microblogging for learning', I then get puzzled looks that say, "too much time on your hands", "what is he talking about?" Where are we at? | STICKY LEARNING NOVEMBER 16, 2009  Why do I write a blog? I've been blogging for a year now, time flies! But with one year down my mind has turned to the question I'd imagine many bloggers ask themselves "Why do I write a blog?". I've written on books I've read, webinars, design thinking, presentation skills, twitter, informal learning, personal learning spaces and more. Am I an expert on all these areas - the answer is simple, no, I am not! . think more. | STICKY LEARNING AUGUST 27, 2009  Everywhere - the future of knowledge and learning I watched a very interesting show on TV recently with Englishman Stephen Fry ( @stephenfry ) discussing the invention of the printing press and it's impact upon culture and knowledge. Throughout the program I was struck by the parallels between the impact of the printing press and the impact the internet is having upon culture and knowledge today! But things have changed!

STICKY LEARNING | WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2009  Anchors and Twists - making learning stick
It should come as no surprise to readers of my blog that I'm a fan of the book Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath - I mean where did I come up with my blog's name !? Today I was sent a link to a video from a friend in Texas (thank's Sue!) The video features Dan Heath speaking on the subject of 'Selling your Innovation". Unfortunately I'm unable to embed the video in my blog (well I could if I illegally copied it.) however just below is the link to the video. It's quite short, after watching it come back and read what I've got to say about it! MORE >> -
STICKY LEARNING | SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2009 Learning styles and fixed ideas
Where am I coming from? Over the last few months I've read a number of blog posts about learning styles (see references at end of post). So, do learning styles exist? for what it matters, I'm in the 'no they don't' camp) However, this post isn't so much about whether or not they exist, rather I'm more interested in why people believe so strongly that learning styles indicators do in fact provide a measure of how an individual learns best. Let's put aside our opinions for a moment! Just for the sake of it, put aside your personal view for a moment and join me. They say, "What do you mean? MORE >> -
STICKY LEARNING | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2009  Designing successful learning - walking 'a fine line'
Designing a way forward Designing - the first word of this post's title and the overall focus of this post! Over the last couple of months I've read and re-read Hartmut Esslingers book, ' a fine line '. It's rare that I re-read a book straight after reading it, however my mind was drawn back again and again to the book. Upon each re-visit I left the book ever more certain that the design lessons contained within it were essential for successful learning design. In a fine line, he provides stories and examples to illustrate his design approach (these alone are almost worth reading the book for). MORE >> -
STICKY LEARNING | TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2009 Personal learning environments, stickylearning and Alltop
This is just a short post to point you to another interesting tool for personal learning, it's called Alltop.I've ve been using Alltop for a couple of months now and I reckon it's a great way of keeping up with multiple blogs, way easier than trying to remember! You do need to create an account, but after that it's pretty easy to use! For those who don't know Alltop, it is a creation of the fertile mind of Guy Kawasak i. Guy describes Alltop as a new version of your magazine rack and it's not a bad description. I've focussed mainly on learning/business blogs - not surprisingly! MORE >> -
STICKY LEARNING | THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 2009 The Powerpoint 12 - the slideshow!
My last post was a list of tips for using Powerpoint/Keynote more effectively - The Powerpoint Dozen ! Here is part 2, the slideshow. The first installment provided the written tips, much like many slide presentations you are subjected to - heavy on text. Now, there's nothing wrong with text, it just doesn't belong in any quantity on Powerpoint or Keynote slides! Below you will find the slideshow of my powerpoint tips, The Powerpoint 12! In reality, an actual presentation on this would use these slides with the text from yesterday's post forming much of the basis for what I would be saying. MORE >>
