The Times They are A-Changin


So goes the popular song by Bob Dylan. The rate of change continues to increase too. I have found that the Internet gives us daily changes to the tools and tricks available to communicate, teach, learn, google and tweet. Even our language is changing as we try to stay on top of the ever changing landscape. The marketing slogan “Reach out and Touch Someone” has never been more possible in so many different ways.

How does one keep it all straight? I have recently discovered a web site that tries to help. Jane Hart, a Social Media and Learning Consultant of the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies has created Jane's E-Learning Pick of the Day. Every day she selects an item of e-learning interest and spotlights it on her site. LearningZen.com was recently spotlighted. Jane’s site is very informative and also provides several ways to keep current on the new tools available in the e-learning world.

In Jane’s own words “Having set up a number of web portals in the past, in 2007 I established the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies - now one of the world's most-visited and most popular learning sites on the Web. I am the author of a number of blogs including the popular Jane's E-Learning Pick of the Day, where I post a daily item of e-learning interest. You can keep up to date with what I am bookmarking in a number of ways.”

We are glad to be in a community of passionate people such as Jane Hart. Learning and teaching is something that we all believe will have a positive impact on the world we live in. And we believe that there should be ways to study, educate and collaborate that are free and easy to use. That is what LearningZen is all about. Come see what it is all about by visiting http://www.learning.zen.com/ and be part of the revolution.
