Online Class

Okay, I'll make this short and sweet. I' have been teaching List field heraldry in the classroom and on the field for over two years now. I dont mind teaching, and I love the chance to do it.

However, I still get people who don't know how to list herald, and they usually don't have time to take a class, and not enough confidence to jump in on the spot and learn on the fly. Its not a simple thing to do cold, but if you know enough of what is going on, then its not hard to take a set of cards and run with them

Well, for better or for worse, I have taken my class to the next level in accessibility.

I did an online presentation that you can click on and take in your own home.

No certifications, no spiffy cool gifts if you understand everything... just a lot of information that will hopefully let people understand and enjoy list heralding as much as I do.

Presently, its linked at the top right corner of my blog as an online course.

(IE, look left, and up of this post, and you should see it.)

And I know... It needs a LOT of editing...but I just couldn't wait that long.

Little bit of housekeeping

Okay, I admit it, I'm a Google Addict right now. Between Firefox and its umpteen hundreds of addons (I think my home computer has thrity-somehting by now) and all of the Google features like calendar, documents, and whatnot, I am actually very happy to make make use of some of the features that I have at my disposal.

My Classes:

I have web published my List heralding 101, and my Site heralding 101 classes to theweb. The notes are actually fairly self explanitory, so I am comfortable with tossing them out to the world and letting the world have them. You should see them at the top left of this page, feel free to copy them to whatever word processor you want.


My Google Calander:

I dont know who really wants to know when and where I will be at what SCA activity, but I figured what the heck... might as well put myself out there and see if its usefull. You'll see that just under my list of the most current blog posts.

Stillwater Celtic Music and Heritage Festival

Okay, it wasn't exactly an SCA event, and I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this because it was not really relivant to me as a herald. However, Mooneschadowe decided, at something of the last minute, to do a demo and help out the organizers of the Celtic Music festival this past saturday.

All in all, it was a lot of fun, and a great chance to get out and show the public what we are and are about. I think some 200-400 people came by and asked questions and the like, and I am fairly sure that we will see some of them again. One former marine was litterlly giddy with excitement when I told him about heavy weapon's fighting.

Anyway, as Demos go, this one was well worth the time invested, and I am exceedingly glad that we pulled through and did it.
