<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finding a quick solution to expedite work and improve accuracy is a win/win solution. According to a study conducted by the Microsoft PC Accessories group, American workers expend an average of six hours per day on the computer at work. Much of that time often involves digital communication (e-mail, various online channels, etc.). What if you could reduce that time? You can!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Microsoft’s autocorrect tool can quickly replace long phrases with just a few key strokes. Here’s how set it up: In Word 2010, from the File tab, select “Options,” then “Proofing” from the left panel. From the right pane, click the “AutoCorrect Options” button.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A new window opens with a section to create your own abbreviations and replacement text. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Under the “Replace text as you type” section, enter your abbreviation in the “Replace” box and the full text in the “With” box. Next, click the Add button to move this entry into your list of AutoCorrect words. When you have completed all entries, click “OK.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv7k3i5pFFppOJKlzgxxi1Jbk8pA51qJw4-JHUh178enKjBxzyx1HXII66chT4uQsbcZLIYZ_aKQj-WJPtxaD4eJ_pfNIYomHOoIoEMtgLCGn4eZqvOERExFmuBVVlrmx_eq0iRj_8Fec1/s1600/autocprrect.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv7k3i5pFFppOJKlzgxxi1Jbk8pA51qJw4-JHUh178enKjBxzyx1HXII66chT4uQsbcZLIYZ_aKQj-WJPtxaD4eJ_pfNIYomHOoIoEMtgLCGn4eZqvOERExFmuBVVlrmx_eq0iRj_8Fec1/s320/autocprrect.jpg" width="279" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using the example provided, note that whenever “DSHS” is entered, “Department of State Health Services” will now appear in the document, reducing keystrokes from 31 to only 4.<br /><br />
This tool can be useful for names (using initials as the abbreviations), businesses (such as government agencies), or complicated titles (such as people in the military). It helps prevent misspelling names of important people, businesses and locations, avoiding embarrassing situations while improving accuracy and speed. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Microsoft Outlook using this same feature. So, abbreviations entered under AutoCorrect in Word will automatically be available in Outlook.</span><br />

Overall, it was one of the best conferences I have attended in years – lots of good information and sharing of ideas.<br />
<br />
About WEN: WEN was founded in 1994 by Karyl McCurdy Lawson with the purpose of fostering the development and advancement of women in energy by developing a strong network. After years of being the sole woman on energy transactions, Karyl believed that many women energy professionals were in the same position, but unable to connect with each other. Sixteen years later, WEN remains committed to providing high caliber events and networking to its diverse membership from across the energy value chain. <a href="http://www.womensenergynetwork.org/ama/orig/WEN_Fact_Sheet_v5_10.2012.pdf">http://www.womensenergynetwork.org/ama/orig/WEN_Fact_Sheet_v5_10.2012.pdf</a> <br />
<br />
Keynote Speaker for Thursday was Katty Kay, the lead anchor of BBC World News America. Womenomics, a book written by Kay and ABC News' Good Morning America senior national correspondent Claire Shipman explores the redefinition of success for working women based on recent trends of the value of women to the business world.<br />
<br />
Keynote Speaker for Friday was Lynn Elsenhans - Former CEO & Chairperson – Sunoco and EVP Global Manufacturing, President Shell Oil Company, President Shell Oil Products.<br />

It wasn’t too long ago that eLearning designers wanting to build interactive courses were forced to choose between one of two realities: a blissful illusion of interactivity, or the painful truth that interactivity required advanced programming skills. That’s no longer the case because today’s eLearning tools make it easy for anyone to design interactivity.</div>
<div class="content">
This session is all about deconstructing the best corporate eLearning, multimedia journalism, and interactive infographics. Participants will learn the three most common types of interactivity and learn creative ways to apply interactivity in their own courses.</div>
<div class="content">
In this session, you will learn: </div>
<ul>
<li class="content">The basic elements of interactivity </li>
<li class="content">Rapid instructional design models that you can build with any authoring program</li>
<li class="content">How to evaluate and design the right interactivity</li>

The purpose of the course is to provide the participants with best practices including tools, techniques and a basic roadmap to build capabilities in the use of social media technologies in their own emergency management organizations (State, local, Tribal) in order to further their emergency response missions.<br />
<br />
Great experience collaborating in a virtual environment. Our team was spread out all over the country - Seattle, New York, Virginia and Texas. We used BaseCamp to store master files, source materials and to manage the development schedule. Drop Box was used to exchange large files.<br />

that gamification is a concept that needs to be a part of every learning
professional's tool box. Games provide meaning and context to learners, they
provide a set of boundaries within a "safe" environment to explore,
think and "try things out".</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

came into the book with my own ideas about gamification and what it means. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m getting a clear picture of the true power
of game-based thinking including engagement, storytelling, visualization of
characters and problem solving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve
been using these elements in learning for a long time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think we’ve considered them
gamification.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">One
example given is “The Binary Game”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>from
Cisco (<a href="http://forums.cisco.com/CertCom/game/binary_game_page.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://forums.cisco.com/CertCom/game/binary_game_page.htm</span></a>).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a arcade game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The idea is to teach people the basis of
binary numbers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The player leans the
concepts while playing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The patterns and
strategies in game provide the ability to think in binary. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">I
think this book will help anyone who wants to understand how to bring “gamification”
into their toolbox –finding methods to improve learning, retention and application
of knowledge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll circle back with more
thoughts once I complete the book!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

There's an app for that!If you are attending the ASTD International Conference in Denver May 6-9, download and start populating the ASTD Events app - Android or iOS (iPhone/iPAD) available. You don't have to carry around a paper schedule! Only drawback I see is I loaded the app on both my iPhone and iPAD and it looks like they don't sync up. <br />
<br />
Features include:<br />
<ul>
<li> <strong>Native universal app</strong>: Great for iPAD and no wifi connection required to access the conference program, visual schedule or animated maps.</li>
<li><strong>Now View</strong>: Stay informed about hot issues, program changes, upcoming sessions, Twitter feeds and organizer messages. </li>
<li><strong>Contact Sharing</strong>: Easily share your digital business card information via QR or Bump technology.</li>
<li><strong>Programs</strong>: Browse the entire event program to build your personal schedule, take notes, share with integrated social media and more. </li>
<li><strong>Session materials</strong>: Access session handouts and slides. Take notes and email them as part of your trip report for reference.</li>
<li><strong>Exhibitors and Sponsors</strong>: Browse or search exhibitors and easily find their location on the expo floor.</li>
</ul>
