I believe, because I haven't checked, that my last post was in February. I don't really know what took place between February and June, but in June my professional life kind of got catapulted out of control. I was asked to work on a proposal for a non-credit course for a Certified Financial Planner and I joined the board of the ASTD Smoky Mountain Chapter. I also joined the walk committee for the Knoxville Walk to Defeat ALS. Somehow everything hit at one time.
My proposal was due in September, the walk was in September, the board takes much more of a time commitment than I realized it would, and on top of all of that, I was preparing for a presentation that was last week (the week after ASTD ALC). So - I've been busy. I haven't been motivated to blog on anything, either. I wanted to incorporate something learning related in this post and not just talk about how busy I have been, so below is a little bit on my presentation.
At my presentation last week I discussed eLearning. My partner for the presentation did a great job with the PowerPoint and I got to stand up in front of a group of my peers to talk to them about eLearning development tools and social media. We showed them how they can create a Facebook page and upload a YouTube video on two different development tools: Camtasia and Captivate. I was quite pleased with the response that I received from the audience. There wasn't as much interactivity as I wanted, but that's okay. I'll try to get more interactivity when I do the presentation again in two weeks to a group of credit union trainers in Atlanta.
I'm looking forward to doing more presenting. It was something that I was extremely frightened of. After about 10 minutes I realized that I was calming down and starting to enjoy myself. I like talking to people. I like helping them. And most of all, I like doing something that it turns out I'm decently good at!
