Thank you so much for supporting my dreams…
I truly believe that dreams come true. Sometimes, it can take you many years to accomplish your goals…Sometimes, you may feel that, in spite of all your efforts, nobody wants to listen to you…But, one day, our Lord can give you that unique opportunity you have been longing for…
September has been a wonderful time for me. I have to thank so many people for their unselfish support and ongoing help. It really means a lot to me when people value my work because designing learning experiences is what I love the most:
- The Infoline I wrote for ASTD was published at amazon.com. ASTD also published an excerpt of this Infoline here.Ā Thank you, Justin Brusino!
- Steven Boller, from Bottom-Line Performance, kindly asked me to share my thoughts on mobile learning in an interview. Thanks a million, Steven!
- Gary Woodill, from Float Mobile Learning, thought this was “a terrific interview” š and shared his comments about it here. Many thanks for your kindness, Mr. Woodill!
- Learning Solutions Magazine, from the eLearning Guild, published one of my articles. Special thanks to Bill Brandon & Patti Shank!
- IĀ participated in ArticulateĀ“s Weekly Challenge. Ā”MuchĆsimas gracias, David & Montse Anderson! I really admire your work so your positive feedback always encourages me to work harder.
- After joining xAPI Design, Ā a very interesting initiative organized by ADL, my team and I designed a social learning experience that made use of Twitter and the xAPI to track how interactions unfold during an online group discussion. This was an absolutely amazing experience for us! Thank you so much for supporting our ideas, Aaron Silver, Andy Johnson & Jason Haag!
Interested in #xAPI real-world uses? We want to track the largest live online xAPI learning experience on Twitter!

@xApi_JV Key takeaway: Joint Venture Group did an excellent job with this experiment! What if it were applied to a larger community! #xapi

- Finally, I got a very special invitation fromĀ Christopher Pappas to participate in an ebook. I am so grateful to you for that, Christopher!
On September 21st, I celebrated my 34th birthday and I couldn“t feel more grateful for this moment in my life. Sometimes, I need to step back and take a deep breath because I just can“t believe all the good things that are happening to me now. So, please believe me when I say that I don“t have enough words to thank all the supportive people I have met on my way!

What a great idea, Mayra! Each of us should write a similar post thanking anyone who’s ever helped, inspired, encouraged, or given us their time over the years. I would certainly need to upgrade my hosting account before I began the interminable task of thanking everyone who’s helped me over the years:-)
Happy B-day, Mayra.
Thank you so much for leaving a comment, David! With all the support you offer to people like me I think that you have already returned previous favors… #payitoff š
