1. Learning in the Year 2019? Your Brainstorms Please! Here is a fascinating question to ask yourself and colleagues:
“What Will Learning Be Like in 2019?”
It is 10 years from now! What changes in process, models, technology and assumptions will occur for Learning by the year 2019? Please take a minute and do some free-form Brainstorming. Just go to http://www.learning2009.com/2019 and add your thoughts.
2. “Working Learners” - New Report on ReSkilling: Here is a thought-provoking report to read and distribute. “Working Learners: Educating Our Entire Workforce for Success in the 21st Century” by Louis Soares from the Center for American Progress.

4. iPhone and Textbooks: Just downloaded a new application to my iPhone called CourseSmart eTextbooks. This is one of several movements away from print based textbooks. In this application, a student would have access to all of the textbooks for their registered courses right on their mobile device. I’m starting with a Calculus Textbook to see how it goes.
