Learning Kearn(el)s

Description: I am continuing to build content pages, add links and files, and just the general work of building my training course. Feelings: I feel like maybe I'm not working fast enough or getting enough done. Maybe I'm just too busy in general.  Evaluation: This is definitely the worst part of course building. This little slump where I feel like I've done quite a bit yet not enough. Analysis: Just keep swimming... just keep swimming.... Conclusion: I will continue to complete content pages. I hope to have the Proctor portion completed in the next week or so... maybe. I am also working on some video/audio ideas to supplement the text.  Action Plan: I hate to admit this, because it is going to kill me.... But I need to plan better (OMG- did that come out of MY head?!). I struggle with planning. I really do. I'm a last-minute, just-out-it-down-and-get-it-done type person. I'm finally figuring out that this actually makes my life more difficult. (No ...

October 16-October 22, 2017 Description: This week I have continued to work on content pages. Feelings: Mostly that I want to get this done, but knowing that I will likely only finish the Proctor training portion. The Test Administrator portion will likely have to wait a bit. Evaluation: Mostly this is a good experience. I feel that I am just continuing to practice my craft. Analysis: I am just at the point in the semester where I usually hit a wall. I'm ready to be done, but know that I have quite a bit more work to do. Conclusion: I don't think there is anything I can do differently at this point. Just keep moving along. Action Plan: Continue to build content pages and design my training course.

October 9- October 15, 2017 Description: This week, I spent a lot of time uploading files. I also began creating content pages in Canvas. The file uploads were simply time-consuming, though necessary. The content pages are also time-consuming, but for a very different reason. I have created a splash page, but it needs some work. Feelings: I agonize over wording on the content pages. This makes the content pages a bit of a bear to create. I want them to be just right. This means my pages take longer than I really think they should to create. I am also struggling with the desire to be creative, and the fact that this training course can't have a lot of "froo-froo." I need everything to be neat and clean, and I want to add bells and whistles.   Evaluation: I'm glad I at least have the files uploaded. There were quite a few. I may have to add more later, but the bulk of them are done. I like that I am realizing the line that needs to be drawn between the extra...
