So, expect to see regular reflections on good instructional design and delivery for any topic, but especially technology related.

The content is important, but it is only half of the instructional design task. Here’s some reflections: 1.) Small Group Composition: How you select people to put into small groups may or may not be important to a small group exercise. If you deliver training on webinar platforms, you need to understand how people learn.

I'm feeling good about the workshop because I feel that I'm finally closer to mastering differentiated instruction with social media and nonprofits. The first group wants to wrap their brains around it and gets overwhelmed quickly. This saved a lot of time during the report out on reflections and learning. Let me explain.

The key to success in social media is to leave room for reflection at the end of a project. Reflection gives you a chance to understand what worked and what didn't. The exercise is intended to help you slow down, be in the moment, and shift you into a reflective mindset or at least feel what it is like.
