We Wrote a Book on Microsoft Teams But Who’s It For?

This morning I put down some thoughts into Twitter about who may benefit from buying our book that we wrote at Adopt & Embrace on Microsoft Teams. I wanted to collect my tweets here before they got lost into the Twittersphere Never Miss a Blog – Subscribe to Receive a Monthly Email Email Address First […]

Doing A Booktube

I’ve written a lot in recent times about getting some of my time back to get my headspace out of thinking and talking about work all the time (at times it felt I was thinking about learning and development 24/7 and my mind had to take a break). The way I’ve been doing this is […]

Reading Books as Sense Making

Many of you already know about my return to fiction reading after becoming so frustrated with reading only what other people were reading in the area of Learning and Development, Marketing, Business and Entrepreneurship. I think I reached a saturation point with those because it was the same people talking about the same books, talking […]

The Lieutenant

Last year I became obsessed with learning all I could about how Australia was settled.  My interest in Australian history was inspired by an Australian author David Hunt who wrote Girt. I had gone to the publishing event of his second book True Girt at Black Inc in Hawthorn where the audience asked him questions […]

Work Book Clubs As Social Learning Experiences

Reading a book blindfolded

I’m putting it out there. I don’t understand people who say that they never read books – or even worse, “never have time to read a book”.  They may as well say that they don’t value their own growth and personal development. The easiest way to learn something new and incorporate it into our lives […]

Books, Books and More Books

http://activatelearning.com.au

Ever since I was a young girl, I loved to read.  My parents used to say that I carried a book  everywhere. This hasn’t changed but rather than carry a book, I carry a library. Having all your books on one device is both a blessing and a nightmare.  Confronted with so many choices to read, […]

Book Review: The Online Learning Idea Book by Patti Shank

For my May review, I thought I would look through my bookshelf and decide on a book that was relevant to the work that I am doing today.  As my project work ramps up with the company I am contracted to, delivering training to employees in two countries is going to be challenging so it […]

Book Review: Preparing Instructional Objectives: A Critical Tool in the Development of Effective Instruction by Robert Mager

Obviously I am taking my new year resolution to read all my reference books in my well-stocked library at home and write a review on each of them seriously. One of the most critical skills for an instructional developer to have is to write effective instructional objectives.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve lost count […]

Book Review: Analyzing Performance Problems or You Really Oughta Wanna, How to Figure Out Why People Aren’t Doing What They Should Be, and What To Do About It by Robert F. Mager and Peter Pipe

Long title I know but if the authors haven’t given you an idea that this book MUST be in your Instructional Design reference library than I don’t know what else I can do to alert you to this fact. Many years ago when I was a young Instructional Designer in the Royal Australian Navy, we […]
