I guess it is human nature to ask yourself if you might have chosen a different career path? Educators, like many others, sometimes have second thoughts about their teaching profession during our long, cold winter. My solution for such mid-winter “blues” is to compare the tasks that others must do in order to better appreciate my own job. I attempted to capture this strategy in my “Design” assignments that are the focus for Week 5 in my DS106 course. The one I selected to begin with was named “Warning” and was described as:

Lots of things today have warning labels. Create warning labels for things that exist only in movies or your imagination.

We all have seen warnings to help prevent the injuries that are caused by repetitive tasks whether it be tendonitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or rotator cuff strain. As an educator I placed a tremendous value on my eye sight. However, I think that, like-minded, readers will be thankful that we do not work on the assembly line at the U. Khant Duit Corp.
