Being Scared Silly – ErinNichols.Net
http://erinnichols.net/being-scared-silly
My Musings on Games, E-Learning, and Other Excellent (Sort Of) Educational Things…. I’m horrible at watching scary movies and television shows but that doesn’t really stop me from still needing. To see some of them. The line I draw between what I will willingly sit through (mostly with hands covering my eyes) and those I have to read plot summaries of on Wikipedia is a bit blurry. For example, the new TV show The Strain. Is vile (what is up with those spring loaded tentacles? During a recent Steam. I als...

My Musings on Games, E-Learning, and Other Excellent (Sort Of) Educational Things…. Celebrating Watson’s Birthday with Storyline 2. Last Friday I watched a webinar. That gave an overview of the features in Storyline 2. Don’t worry. You didn’t miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity or anything — they have them every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Anyway, I’ve always wanted to try this software. People make cool looking projects. With it, but it sounded really intimidating and time consuming. Eek!

My Musings on Games, E-Learning, and Other Excellent (Sort Of) Educational Things…. The Novelist: Or How I Ruined a Kids Life in a Video Game. After playing Gone Home. A game that I think is the most brilliant thing since sliced bread and encourage you to buy it immediately) I fell into the indie game rabbit hole on Steam. And was really taken with the trailer (linked above) for The Novelist. Watch it. It’s kind of creepy, right? Then you close out the game with a HUGE decision that simply cannot leave e...

My Musings on Games, E-Learning, and Other Excellent (Sort Of) Educational Things…. Nice to Meet You. I grew up in Maine, best known for lobsters, blueberries, and blizzards that will bury your car until Spring. After college I lived in the exceptionally picturesque itty bitty city of Portland, Maine. Then I moved to Boston and lived in Brookline, then Cambridge, and finally Lexington. I also spent some time in San Francisco before deciding that I was truly a New England girl at heart.

My Musings on Games, E-Learning, and Other Excellent (Sort Of) Educational Things…. The True Story of Trying to Use the Blackboard Achievements Tool in an Online Class. I haven’t noticed very many people talking about using Blackboard’s Achievements tool. Having students simply click the “Mark as Reviewed” button. Obtaining a specific grade on an assignment or test. Posting to the discussion board, a blog, wiki etc…. So you can see what it ended up looking like with the students names removed (of course).

Hello World! – ErinNichols.Net
http://erinnichols.net/hello-world
My Musings on Games, E-Learning, and Other Excellent (Sort Of) Educational Things…. I thought that in this case I’d actually keep the default WordPress initial post title of “Hello World” as it seemed rather fitting as I’ll be writing on here about topics that are vastly different than those found on my other blogs. There will be no mojito cakes. Or Top 11 (so random, Erin…) Christmas Special. Items in this new space. I hope you find the content I post useful. 1 Comment on Hello World!
