First off, I trekked off to find Something Unusual on a Walk

Much to my surprise I found a friend! Originally he was running away from me.

When I stayed still and did not make sudden movements, then he was willing to forage in the grass. I figured that using a signaling principle, that I was not a predator, even to a squirrel, may be effective.

For the Make the Dullest Video, I knew my choice right away.

Since I work on a computer for both school and during my internships, the dullest thing is the twirling icon in the address bar (at the top), for the internet indicating that it cannot connect.

Embrace your Geekness Day is made for me. Here’s the picture that aptly describes us:

Here I am, wearing my TRIBE super soft T-shirt that was ONLY available at a gaming convention. I am playing Risk of Rain 2 with headphones on, so as not to disturb others. Pure bliss for me.

Learning Principles Employed

In the above videos, I have tried to make them personal, in an effort to not only make them interesting, but also draw in the viewer. I have tried to offer unexpected experiences.

I’ve tried to employ a little Pretraining through introducing the “friend” first and then explaining the experience after the video to reinforce the learning.

I have also tried out Contiguity in the post about being a Geek. I have grouped the Geek description with my video of actually being geeky. I have worked to keep the captions with the image (although could not figure out how to add it right next in WordPress). Then I put my video directly below.

I am also working to follow the Coherence principle. I am striving to be on-topic and succinct with my words.
