1. Learning CEO Off to the Peace Corp in Senegal.
2. Jane McGonigal, Games Researcher to Keynote at Learning 2007.
3. Tip for Trainers: Laminate Your Own Job Aide.
1. Learning CEO Off to the Peace Corp in Senegal. Today, I had lunch with the CEO and President of Intrepid, Chris Hedrick. He had a surprise announcement - he is retiring from Intrepid and will become the Peace Corps Country Director in Senegal, West Africa. Chris is a young man with a great reputation in both the world of learning and public service. (He and his wife served as Peace Corp volunteers in Senegal). He founded and grew Intrepid into a major provider of learning services. I am really impressed with his return to global service. It is an act of courage and inspiration for all of us in this field. Way to go!
2. Jane McGonigal, Games Researcher to Keynote at Learning 2007: We are pleased to announce that Jane McGonigal, a researcher at the Institute for the Future, will be a keynoter at Learning 2007. She has a Ph.D. in performance studies at the University of California at Berkeley where she also was a member of UC Berkeley's Alpha Lab. She has taught at UC Berkeley and the San Francisco Art Institute. Jane will be a keynoter for our event in Orlando (Oct 21 to 24th). Registration at http://www.learning2007.com
3. Tip for Trainers - Laminate Your Own Job Aide: Purchase a small "laminating machine" for your classrooms! You can have your learners create their own job aides - a one-page personal Performance Support page - and then laminate it in plastic, right in the classroom. The trainer can provide them with a core template with information that the learners can customize and contextualize, as well as print and laminate. You would be amazed at how long and well these plastic learning tools will be used!
