GLOBAL LEARN DAY Billed as "The Greatest Interactive Educational Event in History", Global Learn Day (November 15/16) is on course to be exactly that. The recipe has been written, and the cooks are at work. The ingredients are being sifted, moulded, stirred, and soon it will be time to taste the fruits of this international labor of love. This truly global event will "follow the sun" around the world, beginning at midnight GMT November 16 (7:00 PM Eastern, 4:00 PM Pacific on November 15), and going non-stop for 24 hours. John Hibbs' leading role in this labor of love began 7 years ago, with the first Global Learn Day. This year Hibbs is combining his efforts with those of George Buys of the "Talking Communities" virtual world. Global Learn Day VII will feature live interactive audio/visual presentations and interviews by many of the world's prominent educators. Not only will presenters speak and/or be interviewed, but the listening audience will be able to interact verbally. Also billed as a "Virtual Education/Technology Trade Show", Global Learn Day will offer some very special side benefits for presenters. Not only will speakers have their agreed-upon time slot to present their vision, their experience, their product, their insight ... but they also will have their own "break-out" rooms where those who wish to "know more" can meet personally with them. No doubt, many life-long friendships and some solid networking will occur in these personal rooms. This year's event is attracting a list of prominent educators from many countries. Not only that, but many "education-influencers" have agreed to participate as well.
