Week 1 Welcome & Introductions

Hi y'all! 

I'm a little slow getting started due to a huge deadline at work, but I am happy to be here! I'm Suzanne from Arlington, Texas, which is a suburb of Dallas.  I've lived here more of my life than I've lived anywhere else, and although Texas is pretty crazy these days, it's still my home. 

I kind of wear 2 professional hats: I'm a college English professor, using Articulate to develop materials for students in my online courses. In this age where no one wants to read anything lengthy, Rise and Storyline make it possible to engage students.  

I'm also an instructional designer. Currently, I'm working a contract developing course materials for a technical college, doing the ID reviews of storyboard, objectives, and activities to ensure that everything is aligned with the requirements of the various licensing boards. I wish I was actually developing materials, but that's not what this role is, at least at present.

I have been working with AI in numerous capacities the past couple of years, and so I rarely skip an opportunity to learn more about it. I'm hoping that I can learn some tips for streamlining my workflow, especially when developing interactions.

Oh, the most important part . . . here is a photo of Queen Bee. As her name suggests, she totally runs this place. She's a 9 year old rescue, give or take, and she's super sweet and cute!

Looking forward to meeting and working with everyone!
