Joyful Jubilant Learners blogversary

We're celebrating the first blogversary over at the Joyful Jubilant Learning blog.

Where did the year go?

Our Love Affair with Books, our recent Make a Difference forum and hundreds of other thoughtful posts and conversations have taken place.

If you want to see what a group looks like when it is using the internet to learn together in a virtual manner, click on over and check it out.

Tertiary education: Lesson of the tree

NiagaraFalls: Lesson of the tree, originally uploaded by shersteve.

From the base of this tree looking up, branching out takes on new meaning. The tree is eager for sunlight. It branches out to expand its sunlight potential.

Similarly, if we looked below ground, the tree is extending its root base to provide support for its growth.

Sitting under a tree during a break in last week's bike ride I realized that a tree as single minded as it is, still branches out. A "newtonian" moment.

What is your trunk or central core?
What are your branches?

Maybe you should consider branching out?
There is an opportunity for more sunshine by doing so.

There is also the caution to branch from your core. That is a stronger branch, than if branching from another branch.

Tertiary education: social networking

I found this insightful SlideShow via Beth Kanter. I have quite a bit in common with Charlotte in how she networks at home versus at work.

Are you like Charlotte too?
