TNS Digital confirms this trend, demonstrating that not so quite a few Social Networks users are open to brands.

I’m not sure why but this website is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

Oops. I guess I forgot to turn my phone off. An important lesson for everyone to learn.

Hi Katie,

It’s not a movie — just a Powerpoint with movie-looking graphics.

You should be able to view the slideshow if you click on the posting.

I absolutely love this. What a great way to engage students with reading. I think what would make a great end cap for this mini video is a students reflection after the fact…what happened to the student after that assignment? When I was watching, I was wondering what the students were feeling and thinking. This is a very cool technique!

I would be in favor of a meeting date that is not during the middle of a semester like October or November.

If a date is selected during the semester then I hope folks will keep in mind that many of us (at least at Glendale) teach Friday classes. If we are asked to attend a Friday event, it means that we will not be able to teach. With that in mind, I think it’s very important that whatever dates are selected we are given that information with a significant amount of lead time. I think this is especially important if a fall 2010 date is selected. If we can know the date(s) of the meeting before the start of the fall semester (like if we can know the date of the meeting by early August–at the latest), this gives us the ability to plan our class schedules, family responsibilities, etc.

Comment on What is Contextualized Teaching and Learning and Why does Contextualizing Soft Skills Matter to Basic Skills & Career Advancement? by Sonja

Hi Maryanne and Jah’Shams! I really like your powerpoint presentation. I’m going to post mine sometime. I’m realizing how much more a role the emotional/affective part of education plays–by studying contextualized learning. Thanks for all your contributions on this subject. I think the 3 D storytelling is using the figures and acting out situations with them. Is that right?

I agree with Mark. If they are 1-day regional events, Friday is the day for me, although Sat is ok.

The month isn’t so important (although August will overlap with people’s vacations). What matters is the travel and time commitment. Will the conferences be one-day regional events? If so, then any month is fine, especially if the conference is on a Saturday.
