Post Three!

   I am a quiz wizard...a quizard...well not quite. This week was good in EDIT 4520!  This week's assignments included creating a quiz on google forms and readings centered around ID evaluations. Although I am not a teacher I do find that my I can easily adapt a lot fo the exercises and readings to my environment. I have used forms in the past but it was nice to repurpose them for something education related. I always enjoy seeing the versatility of technology.
     These readings keep making me increasingly critical of my classes and instructional material in the workplace. I was making a quick Instructable powerpoint that I formatted as a PDF to send to a staff member on how to log in and check his employee email and found myself subconsciously making the efforts to incorporate techniques I have been learning in class. I was surprised since I did not realize I was doing it until after the fact. It is nice to see that the concepts are already applicable to my everyday life. Along with doing this on my own material I have also started to notice it in material created by my coworkers. I would like to get a point in ID to be able to identify aspects of instructional training materials by name and understand their relationships. However, I realize that is a lot to ask for now considering I am in the first months of the program but with all this information I can't help but feel like an ID baby with so much to learn!
