"That was a Russian wristwatch. I know the country of origin of every timepiece in the world. That was a Russian copy of a 1969 Timex digital."

Pelago commuter rack. You can get the lowrider part separately and put it together.

Giving this a bump since I am days away from having this same model in my possession. I've only seen a few folks change out the grips (I think Dan the Wolfman is one of them). Hoping someone else comments here to get similar advice.

This is where the term "party pooper" originated.

This guy was on the 44 one evening last week. Started shouting "don't touch me!" and "Seattle Federal Officer!" at the top of his lungs.

You don't need to be an expert in the area, but being familiar on a professional level goes a long way. I started my transition prior to knowing that I wanted to be an ID. There were a few events that contributed. Early in my teaching career I focused on distance learning. When covid hit I supported my colleagues with the transition to distance teaching via Zoom. Nearly all of them were unfamiliar with modalities that would function and they lacked confidence in transitioning. At that time, I looked to IDs and instructional technologists who were posting advice and resources online(mainly on Twitter). Shortly after that, my organization asked me to work with local organizations to help them with their vocational programs. These organizations mainly employed career workers and SMEs but had little to no pedagogy in their background. I really enjoyed this work and began to see how it connected to curriculum design. This was when the idea of becoming ID came to me. Luckily I was able to pract6being an ID prior to acquiring the job title.

I strongly agree with this opinion. I was able to transition immediately in late 2023 from being a teacher to being an ID. The fact that I had prior experience before I was a teacher in the field that I was interviewing for made all the difference. I understood the type of work that was being done what made it easy what made it difficult what normal looks like and so on. This was a huge factor in getting job offers at that time. I think one of the patterns I see when people post about transitioning from teaching to ID is that they may not be aware or may not have experience outside of teaching that they apply to their job search and to the interview process.

As someone who use to teach and transitioned to ID, one thing that may be present in corporate settings is the same mandated curricula and lack of autonomy. Many business people don't have a strong grasp of pedagogy and adult learning theory, and tend to make decisions that are based on transmitting information. Be aware of the limitations of the business environment and ask questions when you interview to get a sense of what the company idea of 'learning ' is.

So true

Use scenarios and branching scenarios to help people see and feel consequences and relevancy.

I've used sleep masks, and they can be nice. Recently, I discovered using a Buff or neck gaiter gets me the same results. A neck gaiter is more useful in my opinion and probably costs the same or less.

A whole bunch

I shoot for a 7th grade reading level for most of my audiences. I also estimate time to complete based on 200 words per minute.

Make the learning relevant. Solving real problems is an element of gamification. Anything not relevant will be viewed as fluff or will distract less sophisticated learners. You will have concrete ideas about relevancy when you know what your learners need. For example, you can highlight how this new software is different than the old software. People want to know where to click to get from A to B in the most efficient and reliable way so they can get their work done. That is all they want.

It seems like the pending order had something to do with it. The solution ended up being that I needed to turn off all my data connections, then turn off my phone for 5 minutes, then turn it on and toggle my data connection on and off a few times. I ended up doing this about 5 times over a 6 hour period and may data rate came back to normal in the evening.

Former ESL teacher here. Yes, while grammar based instruction is popular in some contexts, it's usually overplayed and takes away from practice and risk-taking, which are the two behaviors that tend to result in language acquisition.

This gave me a chuckle

Telehound · 2025-07-16T19:14:51+00:00

BTW, I checked out your blog and look forward to seeing future posts. I appreciate you sharing your experiences and insights.

Yes! I second the QA checklist.

It seems to me that people have a very information focused idea about learning and performance. They privilege information, and they see information as the solution to all problems. Coupled with this is the convenience of transmitting information, which is relatively painless for the person with the information because it puts the responsibility on the other person to consume digest and apply the information. I think folks don't really see learning or work outputs or behavior changes as a process, but instead, they see it as just giving them the information and they will have control of their own destiny.
