We’ve been hearing a lot of great feedback on ExperienceChange Lakeview, which we launched earlier this year. We heard from hospitals and facilitators on the need to tweak some language and to provide users more debrief information and we’re responding with this update. Thank you for continuing to provide us with feedback!

We’re excited to announce an update to ExperienceChange GlobalTech. Thank you for sharing all of your success stories and feedback. We heard a lot and are so grateful for the passion that many of you feel for our work. We hope you and your learners enjoy these updates.
Our focus for this update has been to increase learner engagement and make the sim easier to facilitate. Read on to find out what’s new, but first, let’s address the big question:
What did we change?
Nothing! Well, we did tweak the descriptions of a few tactics and fix some typos… but in most respects, GlobalTech remains the same GlobalTech we’ve come to know and love. That said, we’ve added some great new features.
What’s new?

Introduction
This is my first part of what I hope to be a ongoing series on artist in different mediums that I find to have influenced my career in the arts. Following my second part of my introduction to photography, I thought it appropriate to start with one of the most respected American photographers, Ansel Adams.
“There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.” - Ansel Adams
A Brief Biography
Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist, best known for his black-and-white photographs of the American West and primarily Yosemite National Park.
Adams was born in the Western Addition of San Francisco, California to distinctly upper-class parents Charles and Olive Adams. He was an only child and was named after his uncle Ansel Easton.

Introduction
This is my follow-up article on the basics of photography. I have been an recreational photographer for most of my life and with the growing accessibility of digital photography I thought it would be the perfect time to share some knowledge. In this installment I would like to introduce several different types of photography. Each of these topics could be a post in itself but I hope this introduction peeks your interest and you search out and try any or all of the styles described below.
Macro
The classical definition is that the image projected on the “film plane” (i.e., film or a digital sensor) is close to the same size as the subject. Most 35mm format macro lenses achieve at least 1:2, that is to say, the image on the film is 1/2 the size of the object being photographed. Another important distinction is that lenses designed for macro are usually at their sharpest at macro focus distances and are not quite as sharp at other focus distances.
Limited depth of field is an important consideration in macro photography. This makes it essential to focus critically on the most important part of the subject, as elements that are even a millimetre closer or farther from the focal plane might be noticeably blurry.
