Hello from Orlando - TechLearn 2000 Preparation
November 8, 2000
We are now in Orlando, just a few days away from the start of TechLearn (and
operating on very little sleep after watching the U.S. election drama last
night). Here are some of the things that are happening as we ramp towards
the opening session on Sunday Night (November 12th):
- 3,200 pieces of luggage are being filled with e-Learning resources from
our 140 Sponsors. Each person will receive this roll-on bag at
registration. It is a take-home library of e-Learning literature. Also has
a lot of cool "thingies" that you get at shows, like t-shirts, high tech
toys and loads of digital content.
- Orientation Survivor Set: We are building a fun room for TechLearn
Orientation, that will take on the theme of "Surviving TechLearn ---
Surviving e-Learning" Beth Thomas has constructed a great one hour session
that be repeated throughout the day.
- 36,000 Buttons: We have printed up 36,000 buttons with phrases like:
Seeking LMS; Building Communities; Just Starting; Manager; Got a Solution!
You can wear one or all to help connect with other attendees with similar interests.
- 220 PC's in our e-Lab: The staff is building a 220 e-LAB, with a wide
range of e-Learning sessions you can take on your own and access to hundreds
of resource pages. Also, lots of surveys and dialogues.
- TechLearn On-Line Forums Open: Folks are starting to post notes on our
Forums, located at www.techlearn.com/forum
- 301 Sessions Ready to Roll: Complete agenda and a spreadsheet with daily
schedule at www.techlearn.com/agenda
- Simulations: You will see some very cool simulations in the lobby,
courtesy of the ADL Project of the Department of Defense.
- We are ready for you! If you want to make a last minute decision to come
to TechLearn on Sunday, space and hotel rooms are available. Just go
on-line for information and registration at http://www.techlearn.com
Warm regards,
Elliott Masie and Team TechLearn
