Google Forms Doodle

I attended a conference earlier this month and was recently flipping through some of the handouts. I attended one session that covered useful tools for educators that included Google forms and other applications. I was a little bored and started doodling.

Form Element Guys

I was having fun making these little characters out of the various web form elements. I could imagine a whole animated series with these guys. Need to explore more characters. Submit Button Nose? And some personality traits could correspond to their physical natures. TextArea Cyclops would always have a lot to say. And Radio Eyes might be extremely stubborn - only accepting one answer or point of view. I can't wait for the first episode in which Checkbox Eyes and Dropdown Mouth collaborate on what ingredients to add to a large pot of soup. 

Why I want to be a VIP BbWorld Blogger

Sharing - that's my platform. As bloggers, we share our thoughts and reflections and sometimes opinions with the world as it flies past on its high-speed Internet connection. As an Iowan, I know what it means to be flown over. Visits are rare, so when they happen, take advantage! Share experiences and knowledge and make connections with people.

At BbWorld, users, developers, administrators, vendors and executives gather to share an experience and make these connections. I want to capture these intersections of passion + excitement + ingenuity + intelligence and share them with a larger audience.

I like to blog in ways that entertain and inform. I'm an aspiring visual note taker and often post these doodles on this blog. Doodles like this one:

As an Angel administrator and trainer for Kirkwood Community College, I publish the KirkwoodLMS blog. As an instructional designer for Distance Learning, I join Emily McWorthy in creating our video blog: Technology for Learners and Teachers. And as a teacher, I speak with Nicole Forsythe in a new audio podcast/blog on EducationIS.us. I'm a blogger.

See you in New Orleans!

e-Learning Conference 2008

Made it a little on the wrinkled side. Flights were fine, some traffic in Orlando, but that's the price you pay for large cities.

The sun is rising now. The day beckons discussion about learning at a distance (and surfing). I can see a few surfers heading out to catch some waves already. I'm still drinking coffee and looking over the conference agenda. I have a pretty good idea which sessions I will attend today, but I will carefully choose my seat in case I need to change my mind and make a quick exit.

If there are particular questions about teaching and learning at a distance anyone wants me to watch for, let me know.
