Learn to Adapt

These are my links for April 22nd through April 23rd:

• Blog Learning : eLearning Technology - Tony's take on the power of blogs as a learning tool. True for established bloggers with the time/incentive to blog and who build up a network of cohorts. But for the average Joe's blogs give reflection opportunities - valuable, but not unigue to blogs.
• Web 2.0 Expo Preview: Torture by Information Overload - This comes up more and more in the questions at the events I deliver. People are increasingly concerned about the productivity impacts of Web 2.0 platforms. If your employee Twitters all day, does her performance improve?
• Whitepapers - Building a collaborative workplace - Anecdote lays out a series of steps for developing your organization's collaboration capability and includes a simple test of your current collaboration capability.
• The Future of Technology: Total Convergence and the “Media Explosion” - Interesting bit of crystal ball gazing about how we will consume media in the future. Lots of interesting extrapolation possibilities about how we may consume knowledge and learning as well!

These are my links for February 27th:

• 12 Screencasting Tools For Creating Video Tutorials - Its been around for ages, but you can't argue with quick, simple, and effective. If you have to teach (or better yet EPSS) folks computer applications, screencasting is effective and cheap. This great lists includes FREE tools (for great ROI).
• Visualizing Information for Advocacy: An Introduction to Information Design | Tactical Technology Collective - Presentation is everything: "This project aims to raise awareness, introduce concepts, and promote good practice in information design – a powerful tool for advocacy, outreach, research, organization and education."
• Extend Your Brain With Evernote - This isn't open to the public yet, but it is another example of how Internet (Web) technology is changing the way we learn and remember. Einstein was joking when he said "I never remember anything I can lookup". Still a joke?
