I wanted to take a few moments to respond to your recent comment. The blog was written in an attempt to share that I have welcomed change in the way things are now done in the classroom, especially regarding technology and e-learning. I was hoping the title conveyed that. However, because I'm human, I admit that it took me a minute to warm up to and embrace the latest and greatest in classroom technology. I learned a long time ago while facilitating Diversity & Inclusion programming, in order to make change, one must own up to his/her own personal feelings of resistance and other baggage. Personally, I feel I'm doing that, but as my blog suggests, it's not happening overnight. I'm most comfortable with baby steps. I agree with you wholeheartedly that change is a prerequisite to being an excellent trainer. That's why I'm willing to do just that --make changes and adjustments as necessary. Thanks for reading, Jeff Rob,

Understanding change and its impact on people may help you overcome some of your resistance. I do find it interesting that someone in education is so resistant to change. Isn't change a prerequisite in being an excellent trainer, developer, designer, educator? Another topic for you to explore would be change management.
