Disclosure – Vulnerable or Vindictive
Disclosure – Vulnerable or Vindictive. Focus on the chart above for a minute. Take in what it is asking you to do. Based on what you see in this decision process – which way do you anticipate you will decide to go? Will you say something or not? Is the disclosure (or non-disclosure)- vulnerable or vindictive? Now ask yourself one more question. Did you arrive at a pre-conceived conclusion that the answer to this diagram, based only on what you see, indicates you should choose to move to the left in your decision process? Maybe the red terminator button that is partially hidden on the right suggested to you that…
Instructional Technology & Learning Sciences- USU Alumni
I received this great email from my alumni today .. I just had to share a blast from the past. When I started out on my own educational journey, I was having, way to much fun. ITLS was the best degree experience ever. Because of this wonderful experience, I have even toyed around with the idea of continuing along those lines with a higher degree (EdD or PhD). Just for kicks and giggles! Please share! A letter from Andy Walker Hello, this is Andy Walker, Department Head of the ITLS Department at USU. I need your help (and it’s not even money!)

Coffee – Drink Up The Wicked Brew
Coffee – Drink Up The Wicked Brew. There are a lot of pros and cons about drinking coffee on the net. Once you start to dispell the myths and facts about those little coffee beans that brighten your morning and relieve your brain-fog – life can be good! Especially if you like coffee.

As well, the many flavors added to caffeine, and scrumptious desserts on the side, are only limited to one’s imagination. The Wicked Brew I love this sign on the side of an espresso drive-thru, located in…
Come to work as our favorite characters
Come to work as our favorite characters We each have that inner voice that calls to us, telling us how the state of our affairs is progressing. Sometimes that voice echoes of wisdom and sound planning. Other times we are gambling with just working the pencil sharpener. Each of us tends to be drawn to certain animated characters more than others in life. Occasionally those character traits leak out, and others are able to gain a glimpse into our secret worlds. We all have character traits that seem odd and puzzling to others, yet to ourselves, they seem quite normal. I have a friend whose character traits of Darth Vader…
Bring on the Fall – Moab Utah Style!
Fall is always a favorite time of year for me. I like the mildly cool mornings and warm afternoons. Sunshine is generally in abundance in this part of Utah, Moab. Autumn leaves occur normally on the high La Sal mountains in September, but in town they don't start to turn in all their glory until the end of October. The Red Rock and Sand Stone cliffs that border Moab Utah offer lots of extra months of fun and activities for the like-minded recreationist. Hiking, jeeping, biking - rock climbing - it's in full swing this time of year. The temps don't dip down until mid to late December. Living the dream?…
