Welcome to ZipStick!

Welcome, ZipStick is a place for ES3 Staffers to interact with, and share new ideas. Not a whole lot of rules, just one request — please participate! It doesn't have to take long — 10, 15, 20 minutes a day. I suggest taking a look as lunch approaches then again before checking out for the night. 

For me, my primary focus will be to offer up brief instructional design / technology bites for you to examine, think through, comment on, and integrate into your thought process during brainstorming and development stages. I'm expecting that these seeds will grow into great things once you add in your creative genius. 

For you, post whatever you want. Got an idea for an outside creative project you want someone's bounce on? Bring it on! Something cool happening in the community? Run into a cool technology? Tell us about it. Want feedback on a work-related design or concept you're working on? Post it. Honestly, we can make this thing whatever you want. 

The name... well, if you weren't a child in the '70's you might have to Google it. A ZipStick is a flexible plastic rip cord you insert into a toy car, truck, motorcycle, then give it a yank to launch the the vehicle across the room. Bottom line: it's a fun device that makes cars move — which is sort of what we do here. We create stuff that make cars move off dealer lots.
