So this is what Google Glass is about?

Posted on May 14, 2013April 24, 2014 by TechCommGeekMom

I’ve been rather fascinated by Google Glass, to say the least. I could see it as a potential useful tool, especially if it could be attached to my current prescription glasses! I wonder about its usefulness, and how, as a technical writer, content would be developed for such a tool/device.

Evidently, comedian Fred Armisen of Saturday Night Live and Portlandia has thought about it. The first video below was sent to me from my husband. I’m pretty sure that many people think it probably works like this:

SNL’s Randall Meeks Reviews Google Glass on Weekend Update

Shortly after Fred did his bit on SNL, he went to check out a REAL pair and saw how it worked. It’s definitely still a work in progress!

You can read more about Fred’s adventure with the real Google Glass on Engadget.

Either way, it’ll be interesting to see how Google Glass develops in the next year. Will this be the next “it” device? Time will tell. I simply know I’m fascinated by it.

My last post was about Agile Learning Design, an iterative model of instructional design that focuses on collaboration and rapid prototyping. And it’s become quite a hot topic this past year.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Thanks to @drchuckd for finding this gem. Agile and ADDIE are the content strategy of e-learning, so why wouldn’t we use more than one way to achieve that goal?

At the Summit: Midnight Train [From] Georgia

Posted on May 10, 2013May 10, 2013 by TechCommGeekMom

All good things must come to an end, so must the STC Summit 2013. The last day of the conference was a half-day, but it was still packed with some great presentations and fun. It was time to go home (hence taking the Midnight Train FROM Georgia versus TO Georgia), but it was with the knowledge that so much had been gained in those few days.
