You've got to try this!

Quick tip! 


I tried Piktochart for the first time this week, and it was amazing, easy, and free! Even a creatively-challenged person like me can make fun, eye-catching infographics. More to come later!

    Kayla, this looks interesting. I will have to try it. I am not very good with design, so this would help me with a few things. There are always documents, presentations, and other things I am having to work on. Thanks for sharing this tool, I am going to have to add it to my own list.

We're currently experiencing technical difficulties...

Let's face it-- as great a technology can be to assist with delivering training, it can be disastrous when the tech doesn't work. Picture this:  Your employer is sending you to a conference in another state. You’re scheduled to attend several important training sessions. You're eager and ready to learn, planning to take notes and report back to your teammates when you return to work in a few days. It’s your first session, and you make it to the conference room, find your seat, and it's time to start! The speaker makes their way to the podium, begins their introduction, turns on the projector, and…. Well, they’re trying again to turn on the projector, and…. They cannot get the projector on, but they’re calling for reinforcements. Meanwhile, you're tuning out. Half the room is checking e-mail, the other half is on Facebook. By the time the session starts, it's too late. The presenter has already lost the audience, and it's going to be an up...

Things are starting to get personal.

In the last few weeks, I've been reading up on Professional ( or Personal ) Learning Networks , or PLN s. Essentially, a PLN is your digital network of professional colleagues with whom you can share information. PLNs can be made of blogs, social media like Facebook and Twitter, chat rooms, or other digital communities. But, here's the best part… your PLN is personal . Your PLN can be whatever you want it to be. Love Twitter, but hate blogs? Start your PLN on Twitter. Love Instagram, but can't stand Twitter's restrictions? Go with Instagram. Prefer to send Snaps instead of e-mail? You can even start your PLN on Snapchat! You get to pick who you want to learn from, and equally importantly, those with whom you'll share your knowledge.  I understand that at first it sounds daunting. Go! Read! Build your PLN!  (Ok, Dr. Robin didn't exactly say it like that.)  But, really, it's not daunting at all. Read some blogs. Get some ideas. Hop on Facebook or Tw...

Three Easy Ways to Elevate Your Training

Image
If you're reading this, you already know a thing or two about tech, training, and HRD. Feeling ready to step up your game? Try these three tips to turn your current run-of-the-mill training into a standout session.  #1 A picture is worth a thousand words, literally. (Well, almost literally.) It's going to be hard, but it's time to let go of wordy PowerPoint presenations. You can still provide detailed handouts (or save a tree and go digital!), but if you're presenting on-screen, try replacing text with images, screenshots, infographics, charts, or videos. By making your presentation more graphic, your students will be more engaged, and more apt to pay attention to what you say.  You may have heard of the 1x6x6 rule; one idea per slide, comprised of six bullet points or less, with six words or less for each bullet point. While that rule may have worked in the past, it just doesn't cut it now. To start, try for three bullets per slide, but don't stop there....
