The best way to explain computers to students new to the field is to simplify it, I call it translating “Geek language” to “English”. So rather than motherboards, gigs, rams, MHz, Hard drives…etc. The average user needs to understand when computer techs talk to them so this is the best way to relate it to more… »

My working definition of content curation is more than a list of tools, apps, random articles and sites for individuals lucky enough to stumble across it.

I remember asking my math teacher in high school, “Why do I need to learn trigonometry? I’m never going to use it in my career.” Here I am, 18 years after graduating high school and have yet to use trig! I get it – students, especially adult learners, want to know what we are using more… »
