Trello and KanBan boards

By

 I mentioned in the last post that my classmate Amy recommended using Trello single user license with KanBan boards for personal organization. Thank you, Amy for this share! Not only is this a great idea for my personal life, but it familiarizes me with the concepts that I can be ready to use in the workplace if my team is using KanBan, Trello or both.

Here's a great video explaining why Trello with a KanBan board is so much more powerful than trying to organize projects with lists or spreadsheets:

             Here's an example of a shared Trello board with basic instructions. You can use if for your personal tasks and projects in order to learn how to use the app for instructional design. 

            Is it compatible with ADDIE? Yes. ADDIE directs the overarching process for the Instructional Design methodology. However, you will still want to use a task or project management app to guide the assigning of tasks, and their completion status. This can be attached to the various ADDIE stages. For example, under Analysis, you would identify all of the steps shown below because Analysis isn't just done in one motion. You would repeat the process below for Design to indicate to team members and stakeholders your visible progress in the Design phase. This would work really well with a team that divides the ADDIE process to one or more persons per each of the Analysis - Design - Develop - Implement - Evaluate phases.



What other tools are you using for managing Instructional Design projects? I'd love to hear.

Do you have similar stories to share?

Social Media use worldwide

By
  This week my graduate school instructor invited us in the Discussion Board to research and post findings about social media use worldwide. We're fortunate as an online program to have classmates from around the world with the majority of our international students residing in Asia. We have students from Europe, and military members stationed worldwide, as well. I love this about our program and it speaks to its reputation. The more I write this blog and will continue to grow it by linking it to my LinkedIn account, the more I will stay connected to my classmates in this program. I think there's a benefit of having these alumni relationships in addition to sharing our career development. Even though I only used LinkedIn as my sole social media account prior to this summer's graduate class in Web 2.0 learning, I'm already planning on being an active LinkedIn user and will share content and articles. I'm otherwise private about sharing on social media.  I visited Bei...
