Wow, look at this issue of Knowledge Quest (November/December 2012) on PLNs! Also, below are several learning opportunities of interest: KQ webinar on professional learning communities, curation, 30 second Thought Leadership, etc. These are school librarians.

Interesting website from Great Britain for women. "Life RevYou" They have a course that started in November and will extend for several months on personal change. Find their use of RevYou interesting--could we adapt for Reset intro?

"Last week a client asked if I could stay for a bit after our weekly meeting so he could thank me, not for a PR project, but to show me how he'd used a tactic I'd shown him on LinkedIn to put himself well on the track of securing a much more aggressive marketing budget next year. Wow!"

Great distillation of the Studio's message and raison d'etre-wow

Another approach might be with engage a large or small company to guide their employees through courses that would improve their current job skills. I shared a writing course I found at the Purdue sight with me daughter. She shared it with her supervisor suggesting that their whole team take the course. There may also be opportunities to work with job centers to educate potential employees on specific job skills required by a company. I mentioned online learning at my most recent book club. WOW, they see it as a way to exchange money for a degree. The response was very negative. Now, Judge Judy is offering online access to cases - and you can weigh in on how you think it should be resolved. Online interaction is coming but, there needs to be a clear case made for its value as an educational tool. I have always had a fear about "experts" teaching the courses. It reminds me of cloning.
