Blogging @ Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation

I am posting while at Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation. I presented with my Brother Jon Folkestad (Director of Learning @ Comcast). The presentation went well. We had good conversation about how to increase the adoption rate of Personal Learning Communities / Environments (PLC/E). You can view our PowerPoint presentation by clicking here. Our presentation was recorded on Ustream, but as I am a "wonderer" -so I don't know how interesting it will be to watch (see below).

Does your learning style fit the future?

I serve as an executive member for the Information Science and Technology Center (ISTeC) at Colorado State University (CSU). I have been promoting Web 2.0 / Classroom 2.0 ideas to the executive leadership informing them about how collaborative technologies will continue to change how we work and learn. Within the ISTeC leadership group these ideas are beginning to gain ground. Hunt Lambert, Associate Vice President, Economic Development (an ISTeC executive member) just sent me a link to the following article in Educause Quarterly. It is very exciting to see that these ideas are gaining support on many levels within CSU and within peer-reviewed journals such as EQ.

So my question is does your learning style fit the future?
