Teaching/Training with Technology-Part 8

Here is another post that never got posted when I wrote it in 2008.

This week flew by with the development of a New Student Survey using SurveyMonkey. I have used Zoomerang before so I thought I would try something new. Another new development and a huge learning curve on my part was my first Prezi presentation. The topic I chose to "teach back" was on student cheating. I created a Prezi called "Cheating...I Think NOT! This was just as hilarious and embarrassing of an experience as my Twitter for HR assignments last week. This time my classmates could not see the presentation (even after several attempts to fix the problem). Finally, I discovered that I had it set as "Private" and not "Public". A small button in the right corner that I did not see the many times I returned back to the page to recopy the link. The presentation itself was an eye opener for all of us. Who knew a student could use a plastic Coke bottle to cheat. One comment I found most amusing was "Wouldn't it be easier to just study for the damn test?" This among other comments made me LOL!

As combat veterans themselves, with a vast amount of experience in the private security sector, they are able to use that experience and influence within the industry to act as trusted advocates for the veteran candidate. They boast an incredible 84% job placement success rate for candidates that they recommend to employers. One of the reasons they're able to do that is because of their focus on jobs for combat veterans who are seek...

Is the Good Ole' Boy Network a Myth or Reality?

The following was originally written in 2011 and posted on the Women of HR site here: http://womenofhr.com/is-the-good-ol%E2%80%99-boy-network-just-a-myth/ As I prepare for a program on harassment and discrimination to be delivered at the Danville Community College later this month, I was reminded of this post and thought I would share again here. From the archives: From Women of HR By Donna Rogers, SPHR, SHRM-SCP The following are a few hypothetical (not really) life stories related to human resources, being a woman in what is still in some circles ‘a man’s world’ and organizational behavior. At the end of each story, I challenge you to put yourself in the position of anyone in this story and comment on whether or not you think the “ good ol’ boy ” network is a myth or has a touch of reality. There are no right or wrong answers. Have fun! Myth or reality? A fully qualified female non-commissioned officer applies for a commissioned officer position within a department for which she ...
