3. Happy Thanksgiving to TRENDS Readers: May our Learning TRENDS readers have a safe and healthy Thanksgiving holiday.  Friends, family, good food and thoughts about all that we have to be thankful for are so key, especially at a time of change and uncertainty.  Here is a Mohawk Native American Prayer of Thanksgiving - from four hundred years ago:

Oh Great Spirit, Creator of all things;
Human Beings, trees, grass, berries.
Help us, be kind to us.
Let us be happy on earth.
Let us lead our children
To a good life and old age.
These our people; give them good minds.
To love one another.
Oh Great Spirit,
Be kind to us.
Give these people the favor.
To see green trees,
Green grass, flowers, and berries.
This next spring;
So we all meet again.
Oh Great Spirit,
We ask of you.

Thanksgiving greetings to our Learning Trends colleagues around the world.

Yours in learning,
Elliott Masie.

Host of Learning 2012 - Oct 21 to 24 - Orlando, Florida!

1. Learning 2011 Learnings.
2. Masie Trip to Asia Set for December.

1. Learning 2011 Learnings: We are in the debrief and “recovery” stage after Learning 2011, which took place last week in Orlando with 2,046 colleagues participating. From 90 minutes with President Clinton to a storytelling extravaganza with John Lithgow, from keynote presentations about “Transactive Memory” to Undercover Boss Experiences and the over 240 seminars, there is much to process, publish and reflect upon. Over the next 2 weeks, we will release dozens of hours of video and other content.  But, here are some resources for your learning pleasure:

* Learning Wiki: We have placed content, video and participant perspectives on the seminars and keynotes at http://www.learningwiki.com  Visit the CONTENT section and you will see this grow in the days ahead.
* Learning 2012 Dates: October 21 to 24, 2012 at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Early Registration will open next week for those who want to use 2011 funds for next year’s event.
* Video Segments Posted: Starting later this week, we will publish most of the keynote presentations in full and small segment lengths. These will be linked from our sites and we will make an announcement in Learning TRENDS.

Thanks to Team MASIE for their energetic work on this incredible conference and I am deeply honored by the participation of such a diverse set of global learning colleagues.

2. Masie Trip to Asia Set for December: We will be going to parts of Asia for one month, in December, focusing on Learning Changes in that region. I would love to meet any of our Learning TRENDS readers and colleagues - or colleagues of colleagues - in these regions:

- Shanghai, China: December 3 to 6th
- Beijing, China: December 8 to 11th
- Hong Kong, China: December 12 to 14
- Bangkok, Thailand: December 15 to 19

If you are located in this region, would you send me a note to emasie@masie.com and let me know.

We will also be blogging about Learning in Asia during this trip and these will be linked from Learning TRENDS.

701 - eBook Released: Learning Perspectives, CNN Video Experience Grows

Learning TRENDS by Elliott Masie - November 3. 2011.
#701 - Updates on Learning, Business & Technology.

Host of Learning 2011 - Over 2,047 Colleagues Registered!

1. eBook Released: Learning Perspectives 2011.
2. CNN Video for Learning Experience - More Segments.
3. Design Model - Welcoming & “Anticipatory Set”.
4. Last Minute Registrations Coming In.

1. eBook Released: Learning Perspectives 2011: We are pleased to announce this year’s Learning Perspectives 2011 e-Book was just released in open source for your download and reading. We have articles from several dozen “30 Under 30” learning professionals, with their views on the changing nature of our field. In addition, Bob Baker, CLO of the MASIE Center, has a detailed perspective on the role of “Checklists” for the learning world. And, Nigel Paine and I have added articles about challenges in the field.  Download it at http://learning2011.com/ebook

2. CNN Video for Learning Experience - More Segments: CNN is leading a fascinating activity at our upcoming event. It’s called the CNN Video for Learning Experience and  2,000 people will practice gathering and editing stories using their mobile devices. To prepare for this, CNN has made several short video clips about producing simple story segments on a phone: http://www.learning2011.com/cnnvideo

3. Design Model - Welcoming & “Anticipatory Set”: How learners come to a learning experience has an enormous impact on the outcomes. I learned that from the work of Madeline Hunter, who called it “Anticipatory Set”. In our design model, we have been working intentionally on getting people ready for our Learning 2011 event. Here is another example: we produced a quick video yesterday from the lobby of our hotel, setting “anticipation” and framing the upcoming experience: http://www.learning2011.com/welcomevid

4. Last Minute Registrations Coming In: Believe it or not, we are getting a slew of last minute registrations for Learning 2011, which starts on Sunday, and we are ready and able to accommodate you. Disney has rooms on property and we have added a few extra bags, guides and meals. Just go to http://www.learning2011.com and register, or even join us on site and we will handle it when you get here.
