Here are my thoughts...
Education- teaching and learning. I thought of my job as a teacher, and the effort I put into helping my kids each day to learn new things. It really is changing lives and helping them also become good citizens.
Instruction- what teachers do, a process, giving information to a learner so they can learn.
Technology- electronics, and really all tools that are innovative and make life easier.
Design- creating things that are easy to use, to understand, and that are appealing.
Instructional designers, as I understand it, should integrate the best practices of education, instruction, technology, and design into what they are creating. What an instructional designer does should be purposeful and deliberate. I think that an instructional designer is successful when they create instruction that is not only purposeful, but also efficient, engaging, and effective.
