The Techomnivore blog is back online and will now be a collection of ideas about, examples of, and strategies for eLearning.  This is because my life has been immersed in eLearning this past year and I’m ready to start sharing.  I took off a year from blogging which became time that served me well-ish.  I stopped writing because it stopped being fun — I became obsessed with readership numbers and started writing about anything that passed my way.  The quality of the entries suffered while the tone became labored and disinterested.  Of course, a job switch, a move into a different borough, and a lot of change contributed to an unconscious decision to put the blog on hold.  Unfortunately, a stagnant blog is an easy target for a virus and my blog database became infected beyond recovery. 

Lesson learned, it’s a new day; change is refreshing and sometimes a break is just what we need.  I’ve had the opportunity to concentrate on learning about online professional development, virtual environments, and digital curriculum resources.  Much of what I will share will be examples of eLearning, techniques and best practices around the development of eLearning modules, and reflection on this new venture that the education industry is embarking on:  online learning opportunities.

New topic is eLearning and I will be aiming to create a resource for educators looking to design interactive elearning modules that help them transition their teaching to a new digital delivery platform — for an audience whose taste in sophisticated multimedia outpaces theirs.
