From the Mind’s Eye of the User by Dervin
Upon rereading this text, a few points became clearer with the context of other readings (especially Clark). Here are my “aha” points:
Methodology and Its Methods:
The Visual Connection by Baggio (Ch 4-6) Baggio is such a nice read. I like this content because I have always felt that I am an extremely visual person--to the point that I’m almost anti-audio. I hate noisy environments and I rarely even listen to music. Silence is my favorite song! Key Points:
Develop Technical Training by Ruth Colvin Clark (Chapters 1 & 2) This reading almost felt like a blend of Baggio and Dervin. I think reading this helped me to connect to some of the ideas in Dervin with which I struggled. Key Points:
Instructional Systems Development goes like this:

Development: Sometimes I am grateful to have curriculum that has done all of this for us, because of the time it would take. Other times, I wish I could slow down and be creative. Lesson structure includes:

Jona, I really appreciated your take aways from Dervin. I've still really been struggling to retain the information from that article. We only know our own past experiences so we try to create lessons that will peak the experiences of our students.

Once gain, a great blog! Thank you for taking us one step closer to understanding Dervin. Her text does become clearer as you read it for the third...or fourth time. I have a feeling it will make total sense my the time we are finished with this class. I feel her information is important. If we can get past her dizzy rhetoric, it's good stuff.

Your initial statement it is difficult to build context for learners since we know so little about their process is an important statement which is why we need to do needs assessments or develop empathy for our learners.
