Would you like to see an example of a blended learning solution using Microsoft's popular OneNote and web 2.0 tools? Perhaps you don't have the funds to buy new applications in this economic climate. If you’d like some ideas of how you can leverage simple applications, this is the session for you. Come learn how our chapter and small businesses are using simple technologies to work and learn more efficiently. PLUS! Upon leaving this event, you will be able to access and use a NEW Web tool especially for helping to build the South South GIG community.

Mike worked as a Microsoft Learning & Performance Global Program Manager between 2005 and 2009. He is currently President of the Center for Project Excellence specializing in performance and learning solutions for project-oriented organizations, teams, and individuals. As our Chapter's 2009 VP of Technology, he chartered our chapter’s first Strategic Technical Advisory Committee that created the chapter's first visionary long-range technology roadmap.

ASTDps thanks REI Corporate HQ in Kent for hosting the South Sound GIG in their campus auditorium. GIGs are Geographical Interest Groups that are a general subgroup of the Puget Sound Chapter. They provide similar programs to the main group for professionals who are geographically distant from it. The focus is on learning events, with an opportunity to network. Your South Sound GIG co-leaders are Steve Kittel and Denise Borte. Tell them what you'd like to see at future GIGs. Please share your ideas for session programs and your recommendations for session facilitators.
