THE LEARNING CIRCUITS BLOG FEBRUARY 27, 2012  What's different about mobile learning? As the doors open to a new era of mobile learning and performance support, it's a good time to step back and think about the new mindset required when designing for mobile. Although a mobile pedagogy will continue to evolve, we already know quite a bit about how people use mobile devices and some of the advantages of mobile learning. That's an old-fashioned and highly collaborative approach. | JAY CROSS FEBRUARY 27, 2012  The Designer’s Toolbox Most of the three dozen people convened by the irrepressible Aaron Silvers for a recent retreat in Sedona, Arizona, would say they’re designers, but not instructional designers. We’re software nerds, change agents, standards developers, experience designers, game developers, and problem solvers. Sedona is a magic spot in the high desert, about two hours north of Phoenix.

RAPID INTAKE | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2012 5 Strategies for Rapid eLearning Development - Strategy #2 Invest in a Primary Toolkit
Last year, I learned to bake bread. Now I can throw together bread and dinner rolls that make the main course look like shoe leather. This year, I turn my attention to basic wood working. So, I sat down and made a list of the things I thought I needed. Wood, saw, nails, glue, measuring tape etc. Then I went to the "hardware wonderland" for several hours, and I was inundated with "tool messaging". This one, is a saw, sander, and router. This set of 8 different tools, uses the same battery. This gadget.that tool. Finally, I came out with the following thoughts. No tool can do everything. One saw? MORE >> -
THE LEARNING GENERALIST | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2012 Children are not childish - Education needs to give them credit
Yesterday Anvitha, a young schoolgirl and an avid birdwatcher reached out for help to rescue a black kite from what could have been a slow and painful death. I'll let you take a look at the two messages - one with her call for help and one with how she actually managed to gather people and eventually rescue the bird. First message Hi, just now while coming from school I saw a black Kite that was caught by a thread in a tree. What can be done to help it? The tree is quite high to climb and to cut the thread. Is there something I can do as my house is quite close to my school? doubt it. MORE >> -
DESIGNED FOR LEARNING | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2012 From a "Social Being" to "Being Social"
I have been thinking about this for a while and I see that I am not the only one pondering about this. The question on my mind: is social media making us anti-social? Is "being social" changing us from a "social being" to a not-so-social being? Social Social media is a new technology, a new platform to connect and communicate and requires new skills. But is it leading to the loss of some other critical MORE >> -
BOTTOM-LINE PERFORMANCE | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2012  10,000 Hours to Mastery: The Gladwell Effect on Learning Design
I just finished reading Malcom Gladwell’s latest book, Outliers. In one of its chapters, he explains the 10,000-hour rule. This rule states that people don’t become “masters” at complex things (programming, music, painting, free throws) until they have accrued 10,000-hours of practice. And…he dos a great job of illustrating that people who are commonly regarding as “masters” are really just people who hit the 10,000 hour mark very early in their lifetimes. Examples: Mozart and the Beatles in music; Bill Gates and Steve Wozniak sin programming). Who cares, you ask? or even rudimentary skill? MORE >> -
