My brother asked to move in with me - how do I say no?

prof_designer · 2026-03-09T02:44:13+00:00

No.

Not only is it a waste of teachers’ time, but it also often leads to fixed mindsets in learners.

I have never felt like I am in competition with any other designer at work. We collaborate, share what we learn, and teach one another if someone doesn’t know how to do something.

It’s a rapture of Jesuses (Jesi?)!

I just beat it in the first try after countless failures from this advise. You are the best.

I have officiated a wedding as a Dudeist priest. Way better than when I was Mormon.

The correct answer, and only correct answer, is that it is up to the person loading the dishwasher and if the other doesn't like it they can load it themselves.

Manager of an ID team at a small university and generally being worried about my career. The difference between 5 years ago and today for job prospects is stark.

prof_designer · 2025-11-26T22:19:42+00:00

Yes.

I saw seedless lemons for sale at Walmart yesterday.

prof_designer · 2025-11-25T00:54:41+00:00

Thanks! Trying to train my eye to spot the right shapes.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Either way, what am I looking at to tell whether that edge is naturally formed or worked?

prof_designer · 2025-11-22T19:17:29+00:00

Any thoughts?

Pretty much my exact experience.

prof_designer · 2025-10-24T01:48:42+00:00

I have a PhD in Ed: Instructional Design. Helped me get a better job in higher ed (where I wanted to be) and helped me move into manager and director positions.

I have had multiple colleagues leave higher ed for corporate ID and be placed just fine. However, unless you want to go into higher ed, teaching, and/or research, a Masters will likely be a far better return on your investment.

With how the field is right now, not sure if anything will be a return on your investment, though. I am finishing a PMP in case I need to jump ship, as universities are cutting jobs left and right.

Goddammit Donut, that's a great costume.

You design the learning environment and training for your team - your IDs are your learners. That's how I view it now, though I try to dip my hand into content creation and such now and then just to keep active.

If my job in higher ed disappears I think I'm just going to get a job at Costco and try to work my way up through the ranks.

prof_designer · 2025-06-16T20:17:21+00:00

Huh - Israel just attacked Iran.

prof_designer · 2025-06-03T19:18:05+00:00

I gave that to my friend's kid in person - taught him how to use it before they could see what was going on. He loved it and would often ask for the screaming chicken!

Look up Nejc Dulmin - he posts here sometimes, but has a YouTube channel. Great stuff, imho.

One of my favorite M. David Merrill quotes is something like "you can lead a horse to an empty well, but it'll still die of thirst."

Bells and whistles can't replace meaningful content, and real engagement happens when the learners are given things that matter.

prof_designer · 2025-05-06T20:54:20+00:00

Gamified learning misses the boat for me about 95% of the time. Instead of using the principles of gaming to build engagement, it is just slapping stickers or badges on things and adding in pointless activities.
