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)

Retrieval practice, a concept familiar to military personnel, involves actively recalling and applying knowledge gained from training exercises and operational experiences. This method isn't just about memorization; it's about reinforcing u...

Step into a world where the soil holds the promise of growth, where every petal tells a story of resilience and transformation. This is the essence of the "blundering gardener," a spirit that resonates far beyond the garden's edge. In this realm, hesitation is a luxury one cannot afford. "Don't look before you leap," echoes through the fragrant air, a reminder to embrace the unknown without fear. Just as seeds are planted without certainty, I started this blog as a venture into uncharted territory, still living in the uncertainty of it's ability to thrive.  In the world of gardening, there's a saying: "Don't look before you leap." It's about diving in headfirst, embracing the unknown, and learning as you go. This mantra applies just as much to blogging as it does to tending a garden. Like a gardener experimenting with new plants, bloggers often try different topics, styles, and approaches to see what works best. Sometimes you stumbl...
