Interview/Produsage Project

 Today I had my first interview for a training and development position with an inside sales company called N3 that is based in Atlanta, GA. They are searching for someone to join their training team in order to develop training materials for employees and hold live and interactive training sessions. While I am not sure if I have made it to the second round or not, it was explained to me as a demonstration combining technology with sales acumen. This could take the form as a sales training with supplemental technology involved or a technology taught with references to sales. An example that was shared with me would be presenting a cloud computing tool and what client objectives may occur and how to handle them. As I feel this is a good exercise to help build my portfolio, I want to design this for my produsage project and intertwine the use of social media tools. The plan is to use 2.0 tools to support learning and encourage collaboration with trainees. I would like to create something that highlights possible objections and a "what would you do" interaction. I would also like to create a tool that employees can use throughout their employment to share with others objections that occur and solutions they have used that have been effective. Appreciate any thoughts on tools that may be appropriate.

    Congratulations on your interview and good luck! This sounds like a great idea, would a Trello board work where you could post the scenario and they could submit responses?

    Wow! Best of luck to you and congrats on making it to the interview stage. I agree with crs6414blog21 in that Trello would be a good starting point. They may already be using it? They could build off of each other's responses and strategize through the objections and solutions.

Reflecting on tools I have learned about this semester

Image
One of the most helpful sites that have been shared this semester is the list of all of the tools we have covered. I will be referring to this list in future projects as it is highly extensive and is 2.0 tools "greatest hits". I also transferred this information into a Google Sheets doc, and you can see the document here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GjKvQMPzY2jCb3LLhakuVGafDuRvvZezxkOhQihQREo/edit?usp=sharing I added two sections, one that includes a description of the intended use and one if a free version is available. I would have liked to include even more details, but feel this is a great reference tool to look up quickly a tool that will work as a solution to whatever problem I have.

Thoughts on groups in the 2.0 world: Enders Game

 I enjoyed reading the journal, Effects of group reflection variations in project-based learning integrated in a Web 2.0 learning space (Kim 2011), and how group learning can be beneficial to students. While this study looked at undergraduate students in particular, I cannot help but imagine how the idea can also be applied to the K-12 setting. Collaboration and sharing ideas through the 2.0 world is a new idea for me, and I can see how it takes learning to another level in terms of technology and approaches to student-centered learning. This idea makes me think of the movie, Enders Game, as in the story, a young boy is chosen to lead a group of kids to defeat an enemy through technological based operations. The boy is at the center of command, and gives direction to his team. I think of each student as player one in this situation, each interacting with each other with them at the center of their learning. They can also respond and get feedback from those they are interacting with...
