As we all come to grips with a new normal, lots of things that seemed really stable have shifted. Working in offices, going to school, hanging out with friends, and grabbing an Americano at my local coffee shop have either been eliminated or drastically changed.
Lots of these changes have pulled many people closer to my daily reality and experience. I've worked from home for several years, develop curriculum for distance learning, and have an active virtual network of friends. I miss getting an Americano and hanging out at my local coffee shop, but less of my life has had to shift than for many people (e.g., my wife and kids).
I'm awakening the blog so I can opine at some length about topics that could possibly be of interest or value to people who are trying to forge a new normal.

Brace Yourselves
So... it's been a while, eh? Family issues and job changes conspired to pull me away from this blog, but I think I'm back.
I just had lunch with a friend of a friend who is thinking about her next career adventure. She's an IT marketing person who has been thinking about education, so our mutual friend suggested she talk with me.
As we ate some Persian kabobs, I blathered for about an hour and a half. I'm sure she's now convinced to go back to her day job and forget about edtech, but I was energized. Talking about research-driven learning practices and the ways technology can help (or hurt) has me percolating again. I came back to The Dungeon (my basement office), logged in to the blog, and cleaned up a few posts. They should start coming out a couple times a week. As usual, they will mostly focus on education, training, learning science research, and how technology fits in.
