#21 – We Got Your Buzz Words Right Here

Play

Judy talked and drank with Kris Rockwell and Reuben Tozman, and it was pretty much like this (thanks, Kris).

We talked about the parallel evolution of humans and technology, innovations in learning, HTML5, Tin Can, mlearning, gaming, gamification, and some of the new cliches of the learning world, including The Matrix and Captain Sully.

It was a conversation that could have gone on for hours (and particularly if we hadn’t kept getting interrupted by kid stuff), so we plan to record again soon with these guys.

The drinks

Judy drank Little Sumpin’ Wild from Lagunitas

Reuben drank Woodford Bourbon

Kris drank Johnny Walker Blue

#19 1/2 – Instructional Design Thinking

Play

Connie Malamed and Judy delved much more into design thinking and applying it to that voo-doo that we do…with sprinkles of Tin Can, knowing when you’re done, and egos.

The drinks

Judy drank water. (Back off… she’s on antibiotics.)

Oh, and a special announcement about DevLearn 2012. Pour yourself a drink and settle in.

Aaron wants to make sure it’s abundantly clear that his thoughts are his own, not ADL’s.

About Tin Can: They are taking an agile approach. They also want community feedback and involvement. It will be better if you get involved.
