1. Learning Sandbox: Tool for Innovation - Free Audio/PodCast: Innovation often requires the ability to experiment on a small scale, without consequences or huge costs. Here is a nine-minute segment on how to create a Learning Sandbox in your department to innovate with new models of e-Learning and Classroom training.

4. Tips for Trainers - Class Music Theme: Ask your class, particularly a multiple day class, to choose a musical theme for the program. It takes just a few minutes and you can purchase one on-line at iTunes. I have done this with groups as small as 8 and as large as 3,000 at one of my conferences. They will pick something that energizes the group and also serves as a theme song. I play it after breaks and people will remember it for years.

Learning 2005 Update: We are sending a free book to every registered participant in Learning 2005. You should receive your hardcover edition of "Learning Rants, Raves and Reflections" via UPS in the coming week.
International attendees will pick theirs up at the event. There are over 1,400 of your colleagues attending. For more information and on-line
