A poem for the beginning of this venture

 Hi. I'm Will. 

This blog is dedicated to understanding the effects of developing high-impact on-demand learning. Just because it's for class doesn't mean we can't have some fun with it. 

A few things you can expect:

- I'm going to take this completely serious, in the most unserious way possible. 

- I'm going through my 'tortured poet era' given the announcement at last night's Grammy's and that will serve as an undertone for the blog. 

- I'm in no way beholden to items 1 or 2. 


Looking forward to seeing how we use this for class and other items of note. Enjoy the ride just the same!

-Will (aspiring tortured poet)

Like a gardener experimenting with new plants, bloggers often try different topics, styles, and approaches to see what works best. Sometimes you stumbl

How do I think I learn? The answer was at the top of a mountain.

Back when I was a Public Affairs NCO assigned to the 10th Special Forces Group, I understood the importance of capturing the essence of military life through my lens. But it wasn't until I found myself immersed in the heart of the action at the Special Operations Advanced Mountaineering School that I truly grasped the depth of this principle. At first, my assignment seemed straightforward – document the rigorous training exercises taking place in the unforgiving terrain of Fort Carson, Colorado. However, as I quickly realized, merely observing from the sidelines wouldn't suffice. To truly understand and effectively document the training, I needed to do more than just point and shoot; I needed to become a part of it. So, I traded my camera for a harness and joined the Green Berets on their treacherous climbs. As I ascended the 100-foot vertical wall alongside them, I discovered firsthand the challenges they faced and the skills they honed. It was through this active participatio
