TAYLORING IT NOVEMBER 4, 2012  What happened in Vegas, won’t stay in Vegas – thanks to #Devlearn I’ve spent the best part of last week in Las Vegas attending DevLearn 2012, so as is customary , I thought I’d provide you with a run-down of the sessions I attended but more importantly, the actions and key points of each session that stuck in my head that I feel are of benefit to the work I am doing now and anticipate being involved in in the future. Day 1. Day 2. – Neil Lasher. | LEARNING AND WORKING ON THE WEB NOVEMBER 4, 2012  Enterprise social network dimensions Many organizations are using social media and social networks, but how do they know if they are using them appropriately or adequately? Do they have all the aspects of collaboration and cooperation supported in order to succeed as a social business? Finally, Oscar Berg’s digital workplace concretized gave a good picture of what people-centric, service-oriented businesses should look like. | CHALLENGE TO LEARN NOVEMBER 4, 2012  #DevLearn retrospective: Start dreaming about the future of eLearning This year more than ever DevLearn addressed the future of eLearning. The message from the keynote by John Landau was that imagination precedes the technique. The stories in movies like Titanic and Avatar were impossible to realize with the techniques available at the time the stories were written.

I CAME, I SAW, I LEARNED | SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2012 Writing & Grammar: Apostrophes and Pronouns
by Jennie Ruby The apostrophe can indicate possessive or sometimes plural, as we have recently seen.
