My PowToon on Chunking and Segmenting

Finally, I finished my PowToon I promised months ago. Even though it took me forever to complete it, it wasn't difficult at all. The delay was just a matter of me not making it very high on my priority list. Did I tell you I am working on my doctorate? :-) It's still not as clean as I want it to be. There are some position and timing adjustments that need to be made. However, this will do for now. As the cultural icon (LOL) Sweet Brown once said, "Ain't nobody got time for dat."

LinkedIn and Crimes of Professionalism

I enjoy logging into LinkedIn and viewing the professional updates that are going on in my network and reading articles and discussions being held in my various professional groups.  LinkedIn is a great tool and I believe its one of the best tools out there for people who are serious about their profession and building a professional network. I have nothing but praise for LinkedIn as a tool.

What I don’t like is when I see people add skills to their profile or become endorsed for skills that I KNOW and they KNOW they do not have.  Some people often forget that many of the folks in their LinkedIn network are actually people who have worked with them or work with them currently and know their skill set. What is especially un-nerving are those people who add skills that are so far from their skill set, education, and background that we might as well call it a crime of professionalism.   What can be done about this?  I don’t know.  However, I wish people would just be honest.

Powtoon!

I stumbled upon Powtoon the other day and I must say, "I like, I like!"  I am working on my first project and it is incredibly easy to use.   Once final, I will share the project.
