GWLN/Updates 2009
A lot of informal learning can take place in many different formats - email newsletters, online discussions, as well in formal courses and workshops. Any and all can be effective online.
http://www.wikieducator.org/GWLN - my notes from the phone meeting to
discuss GWLN communication needs. I documented some of the
technologies that I thought might be included in a communication
"plan", lots of links to technologies that might someday be useful for
GWLN
http://www.wikieducator.org/GWLN/Education_for_Women_in_Turkey
I pulled this together after talking with Linda and Sema about doing
something for Turkish women.
Community of practice - this might be a place to start with the
current group that are in Santa Clara next week. These things need
lots of members to be active, so adding all the previous graduates and
resources might help make it active enough to be interesting.
