Here’s my latest post for the STC Notebook, which has a Thanksgiving theme, but it could apply all year. Are you thankful for the technical communication field? I’m rather thankful, especially this past year, and I list several reasons why you should be, too.

Robert Gagne’s Instruction Design Model; “The Nine Events of Instructions”. Check both the 9 Events of Instruction Infographic and the Gagne’s PowerPoint Presentation.
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?

Reserve Bo & Yana! The robots that open a new world of play and learning for your child.
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.

In order for us to communicate effectively with each other, we need to have a shared terminology.
I saw that Val Swisher had posted this on LinkedIn. Excellent article that affects all technical communicators, not just the content managers. One of the reasons that I try to stay involved in social media is so that I know what the latest "lingo" of the trade is, and terminology of responsibilities, requirements, and even job titles gets confusing. Case in point: my brother is an architect. What kind? The kind that draws and creates buildings–physical structures like office buildings, houses, and airports. Because "architect" is used so much in the IT world now, he’s had to figure out how to change his job description because of "information architects" and the like. Not that IAs should change their titles, but the point is that as content changes, and the strategy and management of said content changes, terminology is going to change. Val talks about that in detail here very well, as she always does.
Definitely read this article.
