Do you have a favorite blog post or article you've written?

I have a few guest posts, and a few demo/resource items I feel are more valuable to the reader (I am big on giving tools vs Just talking about something).

For pure blogging, I think I would have to choose my call out on assessment usage in our industry: http://businesscriticallearning.com/assess-more-to-coach-not-judge/

Brian- your blog post reminds me of an unfinished piece I have written called "we've lost our compass"

David - your post about elearning assessment could be transferred to the whole topic of performance appraisals (and how they should be weekly conversations as opposed to once-a-year Judgment Day events).

As for your last sentence - finish your piece... help us find our compass!

I've just recently started my blog but am blown away by the initial success - I focus on how video games can be used as amazing ID influences.

I've written a post that looks at what we can learn from Prison Architect (An independent game) - What we (Instructional Designers) can learn from Prison Architect.

And another article where I look at a really small design element that can be put straight into an E-Learning course - Straight from a game into your online course.

In the comings month I'll be taking more games and dissecting the way in they present tutorial levels or any quirky design tips.

I'm very pleased with the way things have started and I'm thoroughly enjoying being creative in this manner!

We've had the chance to work with some amazing schools and teachers this year, and love what they've been sharing. A couple favorites: common sense advice for tween social media use, using Schoology for differentiated learning, and the power of transmedia storytelling.

Oh! Almost forgot: teaching with technology -- why it's worth the risk.

I've only had my blog for a few months, but like Joshua, I'm enjoying it. My two favorites are my two Showing my Work posts on a new kind of kickoff meeting and the digital magazine challenge. These two were great opportunities to live out the benefits of showing my work as an individual. I learned a lot about my own processes and thinking and things to improve on.

I've been super sporadic about writing blog posts lately, but I did write about Task Oriented Learning Objectives recently. I'm trying to focus in on very practical articles as I'm always being asked "where to start" in ID and I want to fill in a few holes here and there.

This is a hard one! Here are a few:

I specialize in (payroll) product training and have designed a very unique and effective methodology to get the clients hooked and make the learning stick. I am super proud of my technique and hope to change the way that product e-Learning is approached in the world (whahahahahahaha - evil laugh). Here is my article I've written on the topic Creating Context In Product e-Learning Design. Hope to share more on the topic in the future!

Here are two of my favorite posts from the last year:

Hey Articulate fam! One of my favorites was one I wrote for the Microsoft Job blog. Its been fun to look back this year and see the journey I've been on, plus when I look at what we did a few years ago, I can't believe the risks we took. I hope I continue to take the risks in my next chapters!

A Blog Landed her a New Job. 

This is a tough one, David! I'll give you my top five:

1. Dapper Dan Pictograms & Singing Slider: Because it provided useful how-tos, free files, and I just love those guys.
2. Faces of the Ebola Response: Because it highlighted extraordinary people and I liked how the demo served that purpose.
3. The Downside of Leaving the House: Because it's utterly absurd and everyone got to meet Bert for the first time.
4. 10 Steps to Success as an E-Learning Designer: Because it demonstrates how valuable the challenges and the community are - plus people tell me it inspired them to participate.
5. At Last! A Drinking Game I Can Win: Because game progress tracked with beer apparently hit a collective nerve, it was the first game I ever created, and it's just plain fun.

I think one of my all-time favs is: 

5 Design Ideas to Rock Your Learners Into Compliance

I think one of my all-time favorite blog articles is from educator and instructional designer, Neela Bell.  A witty and informative article about how to avoid building eLearning courses that look like "Fembots" but to build eLearning courses with the right balance of high tech "tools" and personality...just like the "Bionic Woman".  Great lessons and tips in the article. 

I've updated my favourite to my latest post - 

Choices VS Consequences in E-Learning

Blog available here

Ha! Forgot about that one. A classic indeed!

Thx, Kevin!

David, let me say... in the most reverential tones:  "I'M NOT WORTHY!!!" Loved your post above. 

Two of my favorite presentations:

Freelancing tips: dealing with clients

Basic process of creating an online course

Great posts everyone.  Here are a couple of mine:
