I think the first blog post is always the most awkward, but here goes!
I started this blog as a requirement for one of my graduate school classes, Instructional Technology in Human Resource Development. I am in the Masters of Public Health program at Idaho State University and am taking this course as an elective. In my current position, I am Idaho's State Laboratory Training Coordinator, and I have a bachelor's degree in secondary education, so I am very interested in integrating new training and outreach methods and techniques. I think instructional technology has the power to make a training program more than just a job requirement but an opportunity to embrace learning.
I plan to blog throughout this course to share my impressions of the content covered, which will be a great resource when this class is complete and I need to recall earlier impressions and ideas. The online format of a public blog is great because it increases visibility and accountability for me to improve training programs in my current position. I also look forward to reading comments posted by others to share insights and help develop ideas.
