Often I hear similar comments - "I don't know how to draw," or "We can hire someone to do that." Every human being as the ability to imagine, and every human being visualizes images in their mind. The only difference is those who are open to learn tips and techniques to get them onto paper. What I hope to accomplish at AG09 is show people how simple it is with a few tips and techniques how to visualize exactly what they want to communicate. Brent,

I didn't have much time to take in too many other sessions, however I did see Kevin's and I was very impressed with what he was doing at Autozone. <a href="http://www.ag-09.com" rel="nofollow">Annual Gathering 09</a> seemed like the perfect venue for Kevin's presentation. I believe we underestimate the power of images in eLearning. I mostly believe it is because ISDs normally don't consider themselves "good enough" at drawing to think about doing it. OR I hear things like, "oh, I have a graphic designer for that". We need to get over it, especially in these difficult economic times and start figuring out ways to add MORE value in what we do. This on way we can all do that. I think you will all appreciate that fact that Kevin IS using this in a corporate setting with great success. He is not an academic, or simply talking about how cool this MIGHT be. No, he is actually practicing this in an environment similar to yours. AG|09 is looking to be another great Guild event. Register soon to get the discounts. Kevin, I look forward to seeing you in Florida! Brent To all readers of Learning Nuggets:
