A group of eLearning gurus decided to deliver a totally free online conference delivered on the web. It started today 11/14 and runs through 11/20. If you 'd like to join, go to http://www.complexive.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Following this morning's opening session, Tony Karrer is now speaking on the topic of this blog, eLearning 2.0. Discussions on how to learn about this new technology. Going to blogs, like this one and Tony's http://elearningtech.blogspot.com/2006/02/what-is-elearning-20.html

Using a tool like Del.icio.us and follow the tags like "elearning2.0". Here's a link to a really good videos on Web 2.0, http://www.commoncraft.com/ Check out RSS in Plain English.

Because of the speed of change, the most important skill is to learn how to learn.
"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn". Alvin Toffler

Get actively engaged in learning. Shift activity from relying on print, but move into scanning with RSS reader and blogs, following tags in social bookmarking, building a network via LinkedIn.

RSS Readers include Google Read. Check out the following site for information on RSS Readers. For keeping up on technology: http://www.techcrunch.com/

Would it be interesting to have a new associate blog about their first year at the firm. Could it be used for recruiting? Would this be too dangerous?
