Learning in the Corporate World

My brain has been a vacuum…

I have developed a fair sized guilt complex of late about how recalcitrant I have been in my blogging.

My last post was actually on the 28th of October last year, which makes it just over 5 months ago.  I confess to the fact that work went even insaner than normal after I returned from the mLearn conference last year and hardly had time to scratch myself, let alone keep up with my Google Reader, Twitter, networks and colleagues or let alone have time for reflective thought and blogging.

The last couple of months I have been getting a bit of Twittering happening and even introduced the odd other person to it. It is amazing how just being a part of a social network of like minded individuals can inspire and ignite one’s mind.  The other night, someone on Twitter referred to the fact they were writing down things for their blog that they may never post, and I commented on the fact I had posts rattling around my head I may never even write!  I think the getting of pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) is perhaps half the battle won, and so here I am at 1.10 pm Sunday afternoon when I should be marking assignments.

I am going to a conference next week in Sydney on blended learning.  I am really excited because it is heavily case study based and more about Organisational Development than having a pure educational for educations sake context.  I suspect that may give my ailing brain a jump start also.   Here’s hoping…
