by

Join Us Tonight

Oh Look at . . .

Surely, you’ve heard of Shiny Object Syndrome — that behavior that allows any small change to be a distraction. Are you plagued by it? Shiny objects seem to be everywhere these days.

  • Do you get distracted easily?
  • Is it getting harder and harder to hold people’s attention?
  • Do you think shiny objects are a bigger problem than they once were?
  • Is shiny object syndrome only found on the Internet?

    • ahem . . .

Oh, and bring example links to share — shiny objects are fun.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

The Mic is On: Dr. Kirk Is Talking about Training and Teaching!

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

It’s about Training and Teaching!

Dr.Kirk is hosting tonight and she’s brought her expertise. Tonight we’re talking about advice, websites, and links to tools to use in either training or teaching.

  • what is important to learning?
  • what tools do you need?
  • what should a website or a classroom offer?
  • what should you look for when you sign up?

    • ahem . . . And do visit her blog.

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

We Call Them Pets

Man’s best friend, woman’s roommate — the animals we love are lifelong friends in real ways. Tonight we’re talking about cats, dogs and other pets.

  • what makes a pet?
  • where do we find one?
  • what’s your best pet story?
  • bring your pet real or imaginary pet.

    • ahem . . .
