Last weekend 08 Aug 2009

Alrighty,
Last weekend and we are now finished. Here is the run down of what we covered just incase you might of missed it. I will be following the syllabus to organize it.

1. ROI workshop
-we talked about roi and used the link from wiki to view the ROI model
-we then talked about calculating the ROI Doc gave us some important formulas to do this
-First Doc handed out this paper describing all the formulas located on the link above.
-Then we were given a practise exercise for caculating ROI in a scenario, Doc pretty much gave us all the information we just had to plug it in and come up with the ROI
-After we accomplished that Doc gave out a more difficult scenario. In this on we had to find all the information using or CALCULATORS we had some math to do to figure out all the necessary information for the cost.

2. Reflection Prep
-we all went around the room and had 90seconds to talk about what we learned, like, found interesting about the course.
-every one pretty much said the same things....loved the class, thought it was going to more difficult, wish the class was front loaded in the WED program, loved how well the class meshed together.....lisa cried

3. Blog entries online
-we each were given a paper to track someone else in the classes discussions and blog entries to make sure they were in on time and/or completed at all. End result people found out that they have alot of makeup to do.

4. Exam creation
-we paired up and wrote a question on something from 463.
-we posted up on the board and good 463 fashion ripped them apart...good fun
-over all we did much better we established the need for clear direction in circling either the letter or answer....
-some people got mad others enjoyed the exercise and appreciated the fact that there was growth in quick and well completed the questions

Now these items did not necessarily take place in that order but were done all the same. Please check out the wikispaces page for new post or items you might have missed. Most of us did not even know there was a ROI page.

Ok well that was the last class for this semester man did it go by rather quick. Must say for all it seemed to be the course we all enjoyed the most. It is sad to see it go but a new begining comes from some other beginings end. Its bitter sweet but its progression in our program and for some the end of a long year. Doc Ackerman was a breath of fresh air compared to others. The blend of online and seated class time was new and very easy to enjoy. I will pull many tools away with me from this course and they will be ontop my instructor toolbelt waiting to be used. For now i wipe the sweat form my brow and giggle with anticipation for the next class and adventure....

thanx all my classmate and thanx especially to Doc Ackerman

Whats been going on

Alright so i am home and back to work. Took me a minute to catch up on all my missed work. I think i have a good understanding on what i missed. I have been slaving away on the test maker assignment. I have completed my rubric and also designed a test. I will be sending it out to some of my family and friends (at least 5). I will then gather their feedback and make adjustments. I have also been surfing around my blog trying to add some more elements.

My real job has been a tough cookie to catch up on too. Multiple things happening at once and the taskings keep coming. It is definately good to be home. Monday-friday are slave slave slave. This weekend i plan on relaxing hopefully.

A little video for ya

Take my quiz

Please all check out my new version of my test.

Hey all,
I'm back!!!!! Wow what a TDY. Extremely busy and much work was accomplished. I had alot of unique experiences. I was given the opportunity to meet and instruct teams from 3 different countries. I was responsible for evaluating 28 different teams from all of the country and world. Unfortunately i wasn't able to get computer access for the TDY. My backup plan to have my wife check from home on our home computer was also busted up. We had our computer crash and then a string of drama with dealing with Bestbuy. Long story short when it rains it pours. Well screw all that, im back and now i am setting gears to overdrive to catch up. I have missed alot i can tell from surfing around wikispaces. I can't wait until the next meeting.
