I believe I have successfully moved my "Narrating My Work" posts to this blog. And now I need a new title...Narrating My Work with a date is boring. Going forward the blog title will reflect the subject.

It was informative to scan the older posts as I pasted them in here to see the evolution of my posting. Different stages included journaling my day, opining on favorite blogs, neglecting to post at all, and documenting theories I'd learned.

As I return to my keyboard, purposefully to share what I"m learning in my work currently, it could be summed up as: storytelling and feedback that shows results.

Storytelling

If I asked you, "Who tells a good story?" you could provide a quick answer. We remember effective storytellers because they tell good stories. Good learning involves not just stories, but meaningful connections to stories.

As I was writing this, I was *pinged* by my Learnist account that someone had followed my Cooking for Storytelling board.

Feedback

"Yes, you are correct" or "No, not quite", are answers but not feedback. Cathy Moore states that feedback must show the result of the question, not a yes or no answer. Her article on feedback explains an effective redirect or response to a question. She explains how telling feedback isn't as memorable as showing feedback.

Storytelling and feedback are going to directly affect my next project, explaining to interns how to trouble shoot a central line catheter. More to follow!
