starting the day with questions...

If my business card said Instructional Technologist instead of Education technologist would the learner still end up with the same assessment scores? If I had to tweet instead of blog would the requirement to be succinct force me to think less about defining my interest area and get more sleep?

This is a great question! Turn to Januszewski & Molenda's chapter 10 for a history on how the field has grappled with "educational" versus "instructional" technology. The debate is far from over, methinks.

Haha… that’s a brilliant. I would say that the assessment score would stay the same, but only if one didn’t insist on the instructing getting in the way of the learning.
