Quick Update from Liz - May 13 2008

It's sunny and beautiful here in Ballinamore and I'm very tempted to go out and play. For those of you that don't live in Ireland - you have no idea how much we treasure our sunny days - they are liquid gold. And - we had a crappy wet summer in 2007 which was followed by a ve… Continue

Network Size- from the small is beautiful to - really big

I'd call our SKIL2 network a little gem. Small but beautifully formed. What we lack in size -we make up in quality. For me - it feels like a safe space to try out my own SKIL2 learning. I also need to wander out - in real and virtual time - and see what other peo… Continue

And then there was Paris

I've been looking at the different open source (OS) learning management systems (LMS) - or - virtual learning environments (it seems different countries use different names) for the SKIL2 platform. (Note to self - develop a list of all these new acronyms.) Basically,… Continue

Slow but Sure

Sometimes progress is about just staying still - and waiting to see what happens. This week I had my first 2 members join the network. Many welcomes to Pat and Ronnie. I know that they will add great value to all the work I'll be doing on the SKIL2 project. The n… Continue

SKIL2 progress and need for patience when I get frustrated

In the last week I've been busy doing a few things: 1. Writing my application for the Social Entrepreneur Ireland award. It's worth 5000 euro and links into their mentoring and networking. All done and sent off on Thursday. Love checking things of the list. 2. Confirming the national non profit partner for SKIL2. I won't name them yet as we are sorting out resources. They are really excited about the potential for SKIL2 and I even have their senior managers asking to be on the… Continue

SKIL2 progress

In the last few weeks I have been developing a project that I've called SKIL2. SKIL2 is an acronym for - spaces for information + knowledge + learning - service knowledge innovation leadership. SKIL2 has 4 key components - P2 (profitable partnerships); CII (creative inward investment); PC (project coordination); and KIS (knowledge information spaces). P2 - profitable partnerships - will see a national non profit; third level & privat… Continue
