GREAT!

The pieces are beginning to fall into place and I think I'm beginning to understand Instructructional Design. I am the kind of person, that when I get an idea, I just kind of go crazy with it. I brainstorm, make notes, jot down ideas and pretty much run around like a chicken with my head cut off. What I am really appreciating about ID is the systematic process that it forces me to stay in. Without it, I would be so excited about an idea that I would want to do this and this and oh, I can't forget to put this in!! And in the end I have a muddled mess! While I was very intimidated about our BIG PROJECT in the beginning, I am now getting excited about it because I can see that I do have the knowledge and tools to do it! I also appreciate that the model can be used for virtually any time of Instructional Design.

When my friends and neighbors ask me with that frowny look on their face, "So, how is school?" It's like they are expecting me to moan and groan! I just smile and say GREAT!
