Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Tom Johnson has written another gem on his blog. What’s on my "bucket list" for the next year? Good question. I don’t think many of us really think about the way Tom has portrayed it here.  I know some of my "bucket list" items for this year weren’t done, but then again, I still gained some new but important experiences and skills that will help me in tech comm. I’m sure I’ll set some new goals for the next year with new skill sets and such, but it’s hard to say what specifically. Learn a new software app or package? Learn a new computer language (or at least how to read it)?  This is a great article to get one thinking about how to keep things moving in a career!

Thanks to Christopher Pappas for posting this on Google +. This is a great, clear infographic to explain Gagne’s Nine Events of Instructions. Fairly straightforward stuff, wouldn’t you say?

Thanks to Marc Schnau for posting this on Google+. This is important information for everyone–technical communicators, instructional designers, and web developers alike!

I saw this as a suggestion on Facebook as something to follow. This is a lot better than some of the other suggestions I’ve gotten from it! This looks like a great learning tool. It can help little ones learn the basics of coding, and can be used straight through adulthood to learn coding. I’m tempted to get one for my family! I think my son would think it’s too baby-ish, but I’d get it for me!  This looks like it could be a great geek toy. Too bad it’s not being sent out until the summer! Looks like it will have to be for next Christmas instead.
