Darin L. Hammond has done it yet again! This is a superb how-to for those who’d like to become professional bloggers. Some of the steps are pointers that Darin has made in the past that are worth repeating. I’m doing my best to follow many of these steps myself, and work towards making TechCommGeekMom a more professionally recognized blog that can lead to more independent opportunities. Someday! –techcommgeekmom

This is a good article, as it brings up some points I’ve heard before about making it searchable for people, not search engines. A quick read, but insightful. –techcommgeekmom

If you’ve been paying attention in the e-learning and m-learning world, these concepts are not new, and they’ve actually been pushed for the last couple of years. I think the trick is that we’re at a point where instead of being pioneering concepts just two to three years ago, these concepts mentioned in the article are what we should be focused on NOW. Yet, so many companies still fail to see that this is the way to go. Hopefully, much like my own 2014 predictions (see http://wp.me/p2hiSW-LH), I think this is the year that necessitates a strong push for implementation of these concepts.

The concept of "chunking" is not new, yet it can apply in tech comm as well as e-learning, but it’s especially important in e-learning. This article is a good refresher on some concepts of best practices on how to do it. If you want to have a better understanding of how chunking is especially important in mobile learning (or mobile in general), read about my whitepaper that discusses this topic (found at http://wp.me/p2hiSW-76).

I’ve done most of these already, so the few I haven’t I will probably look into. This is good advice whether you are on a job hunt or not! It’s good to keep information updated at all times. You never know what opportunities may come about!
