Here’s the last of the pre-STC Summit blog posts I’ve done for the STC Notebook.
A First Timer’s Summit: It’ll be “Gone With The Wind” Fabulous!.

“Experts” of the virtual classroom recommend limiting sessions to less than an hour. So what do you do if you have to make a four-week face-to-face (f2f) training program virtual? Is it possible? Definitely!
Thanks to Christopher Pappas (@cpappas) for finding another gem. As much as I like teach virtual classes, I have often thought about the suggestions in this article. Do you think these tips would work? I do!

The world’s oldest undeciphered writing system, which has so far defied attempts to uncover its 5,000-year-old secrets, could be about to be decoded by Oxford University academics.

With iWatch and Google Glass aiming to be in production in the near future, TechWhirl asks “will wearable computers change tech comm?” in this week’s poll.
Connie Giordano of TechWhirl writes an excellent article here about how wearable computing will possibly affect technical communications. I’ve been thinking of writing a similar article, but I think she’s beat me to it with this well-researched article.
I think it’s obvious that wearble devices will affect tech comm. We are still in the midst of getting technical communicators to fully understand how to write for mobile first with smartphones and tablets. Wearable items, such as Google Glass, makes it necessary that the strategy for writing for these devices is different than even writing for mobile devices of today. If someone is walking down the street, he or she can’t browse the web the same way as if he or she were scrolling through a mobile app on a smartphone. These wearable devices will have to be more intuitive, and thus the tech writing needed for that will be crucially different.
