eat your own dog food

I'm a professional evaluator for museums and libraries. Over the next three years, I want to hone my expertise in evaluating learning outcomes in free-choice learning environments.

I could re-enter the college scene to do a certificate in museum studies, or engage on long and arduous journey of a phd student in education, psychology, instruction design, or evaluation. But I remembered a phrase I heard in one of my graduate courses 5 years ago: "you have to eat your own dog food".

So I am engaging in a self-made, free-choice learning experience to become a knowledge leader in evaluation of learning in informal environments.

This blog is meant to help me learn by writing, document what I discover, and perhaps even be a knowledge center for others to draw from.

Wish me luck, and no small degree of self-motivation.
