T-shaped skills” or “T-shaped person” has almost become a cliché in recent years. However, the vertical part in the “T” is often overlooked — knowing a little bit of everything is not a unicorn attribute. You have to have a strength — something that you are proud of and very good at. If you are just getting started as a designer, I would recommend reading Braden Kowitz’s article regarding how to effectively hire unicorns. He lists some key skill sets a designer can be equipped with. Although the list was generated for hiring managers to think about what the company needs from a designer, this is a good list to start with as you think about which strengths to build. I also like how Jenn Dodd put it in this article: “A great product designer can identify the areas they are strong in and, conversely, weak in.” Know your strengths and weaknesses so you know where you can have the biggest impact and where you can get support from others. 2. Bridge the Different Skills I thought the illustrations were perfect for this book. I liked that the story featured a unicorn, because that's really popular right now, and really who doesn't love a unicorn. The main point of the story, though, is about working hard and learning how to train a pet. It would be a great book for any child getting their own pet soon. It helps them understand that it will be frustrating and it won't happen all at once. It will take time and adjustments for everyone to feel "fizzy and fuzzy inside".
Unicorn will be celebrating the release of the report at the Learning Technologies conference and exhibition at Olympia next week (3-4 February), where they will be on Stand P14 as well as hosting a games-themed coffee shop. As well as discovering how Unicorn excels at mapping solutions to customer challenges, using a mix of platform, off-the-shelf, custom content and games, visitors will get the chance to review and chat about Unicorn and Amuzo’s new ‘The Future of Game-based Learning’ White Paper too. If your little one loves horses, pets, or especially unicorns, this one will probably be a hit. For others, I’d still say it’s worth a read, especially for the illustrations. This acquisition, in conjunction with the recent acquisition of Riliance, will establish the Access Digital Learning & Compliance Division and further enhances the portfolio of solutions available to all customers through Access Workspace. The addition of online training, compliance and risk management to the suite will extend connected and collaborative working to even more departments of a business, from sales, finance, HR, IT, manufacturing and logistics to, Access customers to do more of what’s important to them, all in one place. I received a free copy of this title from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.This story is really about the ups and downs of owning a pet, especially when it first arrives. Having recently adopted two kittens into our horse I could actually relate to a lot of this despite having owned animals before!
She loved this book from start to finish and wants a unicorn now. The illustrations had her completely engaged and they supported the story, helping her to understand the words. She felt frustrated for Tilly, the young girl in the story when she was frustrated at training the unicorn. It was nice to see the book gain her empathy for the character. The unicorn made her laugh with all its silly actions as well, bringing a well-rounded group of emotions through the book. Peter Phillips, Unicorn CEO, said: “Craig was again recently voted the most influential person in the corporate eLearning sector and he has a unique in-depth knowledge of the global LMS market and products. He is fiercely independent in his judgment, which is why his Top 50 report is so highly regarded in the industry. Mike Hawkyard, Amuzo MD, will also be providing his award-winning insight into building games for learning in two free talks at 12.30pm on both days as part of the exhibition’s extensive seminar programme. Tilly helps out at her local Unicorn Rescue Sanctuary and she loves the unicorns so much she wishes she could rescue one herself. I have a major unicorn lover in my house, so I was very excited to review this book. I love the idea of Tilly trying to train the unicorn in the same way that we've been working on training our puppy. I know my daughter, and many other unicorn lovers, will adore this book with the cute illustrations and concept of a unicorn as a pet. I appreciate the idea that Tilly chose a unicorn that wasn't "perfect" and loved him anyway. I also enjoyed that Splodge improved his behavior and became a better pupil as he got more used to the family. Training a pet definitely is not easy, it takes time and dedication and this way effectively communicated in this book.
Its heart warming, fun, cheeky, and very endearing. I will definitely recommend reading it, it would make a wonderful present. Unicorns are big this year, maybe they're big every year and it's just that this year I have a horse-mad-turned-unicorn-and-pegasus-mad daughter. Whatever the reason for the fascination with unicorns my daughter thought this book was the "Best story ever!" - so if you have a unicorn-obsessed child aged five then you should pop this book on your Christmas shopping list now! I can see this being a good book for kids whose parents are looking into getting a pet. It shows the importance of taking responsibility for the critter under your care. The illustrations are cute, too, and there are just enough poop and fart jokes to amuse kids. Because of the technical issues with the writing, I think this might work best as a read-aloud book (so that nobody gets confused by sentence fragments or the weird use of italics). No one said looking after a pet is easy and Splodge is mischievous, cheeky, full of energy, fun, and a zest for adventure.
