We're likening ourselves to that of a beehive at the moment - much attributing to why we've not updated this blog for almost 3 months! We've been reshaping ourselves and following some wonderful new leads.Our Learn-Now way-of-life is set in concrete, full of great feedback and is a wonderful package for supplementary and complementary student learning. Within, Learn-Now is now a model (to a point) from which our next direction journeys forth. To create what's 'inside' for others, but outside of Learn-Now - in a customised whole new way-of-life and presence...
We're 10 years on now, since we first started the design and implementation of internationally based educational online lives for students. The first of this began within the 4 walls of one classroom, in the new Jerudong International School in Brunei, in 1997... The keys to the focus range from how an online environment is created, navigated, facilitated and monitored, through to the student driven, globally minded factors. Learn-Now is a website full of websites - full of different learning environments for different online communities, each customised to often very different audiences. Our passion now, coupled with continuing the Learn-Now programme, is to contract ourselves out to others - to build for them (ideally with them) their own online learning environment. An environment with their own look and feel, but without the need to take over 10 years to get it workable ;). Online learning environments for a whole school or syndicate, for clubs, community groups, youth groups, national or global in orientation, either student or adult based.
Meanwhile, we're also buzzing with a potentially incredible programme for Learn-Now for next year or ideally, maybe sooner, dependent on the vision of several schools. We've received an approach from Beijing, with an educationally based desire to connect Beijing and NZ online for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We've since shared the vision we have to connect not only NZ to Beijing, but Beijing to all other Olympic countries, which in turn connects all countries with each other - not just two of us. Not only will our focus be student orientated, but hosting various athletes as well, to the site is envisaged as part of the plan.
