I mention on my calling card that usually I don&#8217;t blog (despite my best intentions) unless I am taking a course, or attending a conference. I am great at starting draft posts, placing one sentence and maybe a title on them and then completely abandoning them.<\/p>\n<p>Over the summer of 2018 I watched Terry Greene and Alan Levine on Twitter, posting all kinds of activities and challenges for eCampus Ontario&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/extend.ecampusontario.ca\/\">Ontario Extend<\/a>. I did manage to jump in on a few activities, but my participation in online communities, and MOOCs in particular, is fickle at best. I hear you asking, &#8220;JR, given your dropout rate in such activities, why are you participating in this one?&#8221; Good question reader. The challenge Terry put forth was to write about what was happening in your classroom this term, which to me sounded like a way to capture and see what what others are doing. However, as a full time instructional designer I do not have my own classroom. Instead I get to see a wide range of activities used in classes across disciplines. I pitched the idea to Terry that instead of writing about what was happening in &#8220;my classroom&#8221; that I would take the opportunity to write about some of the instructional design I&#8217;ve worked on or am working on.<\/p>\n<p>Over the summer I spent a bit of time reorganizing my web-life and obtained my name domain finally. I moved almost everything over from <a href=\"https:\/\/module13.ca\">Module13<\/a> which I still need to decide what to do with. (Currently Module13 is just a landing page and a portfolio of wooden pens and pencils I&#8217;ve made. Different and diverse wood working projects to come I hope). In the move I had to clean up my portfolio which had all but disappeared after deactivating a portfolio plug-in I was using. I took what I had and started up my teaching and learning portfolio using a theme Alan Levine pointed out in the <a href=\"https:\/\/community.reclaimhosting.com\/t\/share-your-favorite-wordpress-themes-with-domain-campers\/1807\">Reclaim Hosting forums<\/a> as part of Ontario Extend. Then I took a run through Kristin Anthony&#8217;s course, <a href=\"https:\/\/kristinanthony.withcoach.com\/go-design-something-building-your-job-winning-portfolio\">Go Design Something: Building Your Job-Winning Portfolio<\/a>, looking for tips on how to structure an ID portfolio. There were lots of great tips in there, and I was ready to write! &#8230; &#8230; &#8230; Hey look at that! I am also good at starting drafts over there too.<\/p>\n<p>So, here&#8217;s the hope. Taking on the 9x9x25 will accomplished to goals:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Provide me some structure to keep working on my portfolio.<\/li>\n<li>Allow me to Design in the Open a bit more (following <a href=\"https:\/\/designersforlearning.org\/kristinanthony\">Jen Maddrell and Kristin Anthony&#8217;s lead<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>See you in the <a href=\"https:\/\/extend-domains.ecampusontario.ca\/category\/9x9x25-challenge\/\">feed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Feature image: Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/geM5lzDj4Iw?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">sydney Rae<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/search\/photos\/challenge?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You still have ten days to sign up and get your typing fingers into shape for the @ontarioextend 9 X 9 X 25 Challenge!
