For a long time people have thought of intelligence as a static item. You receive an IQ score and you are either intelligent or "not so much." You are either "gifted" or not. I never really thought that was true and I always assert that the "real teachers" or educators are the ones who take average students and make them better students as opposed to a teacher or professor who teaches a class so those who "can't hack it" drop out.

Distributed learning is an idea that I think offers an untapped potential, what with the new technologies we have. I’m not talking here about distance learning, but instead a combination of slow learning with ubiquitous learning. The idea is to combine learning on the go and on-demand with a long term relationship, personalized awareness, and mixed media. Think of it as cloud computing for your learning goals.

I met Cathy Moore when I was in Indianapolis last year, having followed her blog Making Change - ideas for lively elearning since its inception. Cathy's blog is aimed fairly and squarely at instructional designers, encouraging them to 'dump the drone' and create more lively, powerful e-learning. Cathy's posts are beautifully written, imaginative and nicely presented, which makes me believe she probably does a pretty expert job as a designer.

Image from the educational game Immune Attack. Here is an interesting article Game consoles remain classroom rarity and some key information from the article. In one middle school in Japan took a leap in a pilot program and allowed students who were learning English to do some of their work last year on Nintendo DS handhelds. In turn, the teachers observed the students more easily mastering English vocabulary, writing and speaking skills.

I’ve spent the last 15 hours in the company of geeks. Not just any geeks. Rather, these are the friends and followers of Chris Pirillo and his beautiful appendage Ponzi Pirillo. Once a year I trek to Seattle to tap into the zeitgeist of blogs, podcasts, social networks, edgy stuff you don’t find elsewhere, amazing conversations in the hallways, widgets and gadgets, and other by-products of the limitless exuberance of Chris Pirillo.

A cloud is normally visible right? It seems then that the “cloud†metaphor of “cloud computing†is flawed although I understand that it is based on the typical computer network diagram. As I understand the term, cloud computing is used to describe the use of a scalable platform, like external web-based Google Apps, for computing services vs. installation and management of software and hardware.

I was reading in Management Today magazine about a new website called SkyLounge.com , which connects business travellers who want to meet up with like-minded souls when stuck in a strange town on their own with nothing to do in the evenings. Not a bad idea if you simply have to talk to people non-stop in every waking hour, but I must confess I enjoy the rare chance for some time to myself.

I’ve bumped into Alan Levine, VP of New Media Consortium on the web for years. He writes Cogdogblog, easily the most memorable name in edu-blogging. Take a look at NMC’s Horizon wiki. Among other things, it covers: On Saturday day Alan spoke at Word Camp; Sunday morning I whisked him across the Golden Gate, through the Marin Headlands, and into Muir Woods.

Jay Cross cracks me up (in a good way).

Many a time I’ve described Mac users as a wonderful example of a community of practice. They have camaraderie. They identify with one another, wondering what’s with the outsiders who “don’t get it.&# They respect each other. Their machines are a badge that says, “I’m cool; I’m creative; I’m hip.&# Some put Apple decals in the rear windows of their cars.

Project managers are now spending more time managing strategic projects where the scope is susceptible to changes as the projects progress. Scope change control is now becoming a critical component of project management requiring project teams to become more active in solving problems and making decisions. Scope change control will require collaboration with stakeholders and possibly government agencies.

I feel like Philip Seymour Hoffman playing Lester Bangs in the movie Almost Famous : William Miller: I’m glad you were home. Lester Bangs: I’m always home. I’m uncool. After a self-induced non-productive day on Friday, I thought I better spend Sunday afternoon catching up on my work. I used work as an excuse to get out of a family trip to a water park today because frankly, water parks make me look fat.

So I think the eLearning 2.0 seminar that Brent Schlenker and I did in Chicago went off pretty well. We had like 35-40 people in the room, everyone stayed really engaged and Brent and I got some great feedback on how to do this presentation better next time. I'm thinking that I really want to develop some use cases (Developer, Learner, Designer, Manager) and use those as a schema for relating eLearning 2.0 activities to the enterprise.
