This is our first Learning TRENDS after Learning 2007. I took some time
off to relax and reflect, following our event that hosted 2,087 learning
colleagues from around the world. In the coming weeks, we will be posting
a selection of Video, PodCasts and Resources from Learning 2007. Here are
a sample of a few that are already on-line:

* Content and Video From Keynotes & Sessions: http://www.learningwiki.com

* Save The Dates - Learning 2008 - Oct 26 to 29, Orlando, Florida

1. LEARNING Gives Back! We were honored to raise over $50,000 from the
participants of Learning 2007 to donate Malaria Prevention Mosquito Nets
for use in Africa. The check was presented to Melinda Doolittle, our
favorite American Idol, and Scott Case from Malaria No More. Next week, we
will reach out to Learning TRENDS readers with a request to help in this
campaign. 3,000 die every day from Malaria, preventable with a $10 net.

In mid-December, Cathy and Elliott Masie will be flying to Mali to help
present the more than 5,000 nets that were donated by the Learning
Profession. We have launched a new effort called "Learning Gives Back" to
focus the giving from our field on an annual effort. Information at:
