Historic Event for Education and Technology ... 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.  Learn more about Global Learn
Day by going to "Special Events" at www.talkingcommunities.com.

     There are still some openings for speakers and/or interviewees.
  If you are a candidate, you are welcome to send a note to Bob Zwick
([log in to unmask]) or talk to one of the Talking
Communities people at the Global Learn Day welcome room at
http://www.talkingcommunities.com/gld7   ...  all you will need is a
microphone.

     WE NEED YOUR HELP!  WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!  COME TO THE WELCOME
ROOM AND LEARN HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE.  YOU ARE INVITED!  BE PART OF
SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL!  COME TO THE "gld7" ROOM NOW.  COME AND LEARN

     If you know someone who would be a great contributor to a truly
global 21st century education experience, please let Bob Zwick know.

     The Global Learn Day people will be happy to welcome both
volunteers and presenters at http://www.talkingcommunities.com/gld7
and click on "Click here to Enter the Welcome Room".   There will be
someone there to greet you ... 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until
the big day itself.  Come to where "it's happening" right now!  The

     Historic and worthwhile.  Guaranteed.
