"text": "Recently I posted my lecture on\u00a0Discplinary Literacies for #EDU407Sum19. I wanted to take a few seconds and share a #backstage post on my instuctional design.Starting PrinciplesNarrated slideshows make for awful online learning....Ever have to sit threough an hour screencast of Powerpoint. How long did you really last? Go live videoAnything longer than 7-8 minutes is a waste......Videos MUST be under ten minutes. Research shows the participation droop off rate in videos is staggering.Borrow heavily from Richard Mayer....The twelve principles of mulimedia instruction work. Use the rules so you know exactly when to break from the advice. Especially redundancy, coherence, and signaling.My ProcessActivate prior knowledge. Even though I know the material activating prior knowledge improves your thinking. I spent some time reading some classic research and then even\u00a0bookmarked some talks I used as sources. I also read student writing to look for common questions.Always pre-write. Below you see the graphic organizer I made when researching the talk. You can see my thinking for non-linear teachign like video has become non-linear itself...until I numbered the topics in how I wanted them to be covered.You see for example my key definitions in the upper left hand corner, hw I get more specific about content literacy and disciplianry literacy in the middle of the page. I then end with my own interpretation in box 5 with a Venn Diagram and my conclusion pulling it all together in box sevenFilming the TalkNext I filmed my talk. I used screencastomatic and my macbook. This did mean my resolution is low at 720p but I have so many international teachers who watch my videos maybe the smaller file size is good. I didn't have the lighting right so the video is a little grany.You always want your camera back lit. I sit facing a window so there was some natural light and I turned on a lamp but the facetime cameras are garbage.I had to think about the text I would later overlay and pretend to point and and hold things. I didn't write a script but knew the points.So much of my planning is done walking the dogs or in the shower. These ideas never see paper.Editing the TalkI also edited the talk in screencast-o-matic. It is my favorite software. At $15 a year every teacher should grab a copy. Not only can you record video but you get a powerful editing suite that is so useful because it offers few features.\nI was able to layer in text and images and edit the vidros.What Do I Need to Improve?I broke eye contact too much. You can see my glancing down at my graphic organizer. I should have pasted it on my computer. I also got old and my glasses broke. I need to remember I can't see at a distance like I used to.I need to make sure I clearly define all the key terms and put the definitions and not just the words into textual overlays of videos.I go back and forth about how contextual my videos shoudl be for the classes beign taught. When I connect so much ato a specific class then I can't use the video elsewhere. I might think about making class related discussion one segment so I can edit it out for other contexts.\u00a0\u00a0",

Throughout my career, I’ve noticed that quality/test engineering is usually seen as a bottom-of-the-barrel discipline, something that someone should want to be promoted out of rather than someplace to end up. I find that really strange.
It takes a lot of skill to look at other peoples' code and write tests to exercise it and determine correctness, and to do it well. And to have exacting standards about code quality and testability of the code in the first place.
Nearly everywhere I’ve worked, though, test engineers have been incredibly junior and not particularly skilled. Which made it part of a self-fulfilling vicious cycle; test engineers do poor-quality work (and don’t seem to bring much value to the actual product development), so low-calibre programmers end up being put in those roles, and so then they continue to do poor-quality work. Test engineering seems to be treated as glorified QA in most places.

I still think corporate open source is equivalent to the endorsement of its liberties the same way companies go all pride supportive during Pride Month or uber-Black during February. It’s not something they’ll follow through with because it’s not in their interest.
