Profile Information
- Why are you interested in this network?
- I want to explore how an online network can create conversations that can aid me in creating really amazing learning environments in the workplace.
I want to document through my blog the process, challenges and learning from a 'real' world SKIL 2 project that I'm involved in through 2008.
- How do you like to learn?
- In a kind of serendipity way. I would spend a lot of time foraging online for information.
I love reading and have a wide range of interests that fuel my curiousity.
My brother Marc also provides me with heaps of sites to explore and many challenging and stimulating email chats.
I also love wide ranging conversations with interesting and value driven people.
I go and play in the chaos and complexity and then patterns form for me from all the information, research and conversations.
I also love to learn from my clients as they question, challenge and ruminate on my ideas - and their own.
- How do you deal with change?
- Sometimes well and sometimes not so well. It depends.
Some of the changes that have been external have shaken me because I wasn't expecting them. You know the ones - you're going along in your 'normal' life and BANG - change.
I find that I don't tend to panic too much. I let myself have time to feel - whatever ... fear, pain, anger, excitement, confusion - and then I plan and act. Or the other way around - act, plan and feel.
I also tend to create a lot of change for myself.
I run a consultancy so I never know who my clients will be. I've moved a lot in my life and now I'm exploring a change - how to live for years and years in one place.
I also would draw on both my own resilience and the support of friends when change occurs.
I write a number of blogs and they give me the space to ruminate.
- What experience have you had with learning technologies & social media?
- No formal training but a huge passion for information about them.
About a year ago I developed my first blog and now have about 4 - although Lizbiz is the one I post on the most.
I created a LinkedIn profile but don't really use it.
I search online all the time for my work and for fun.
I created SKIL2 and my learning curve is HUGE.
I started this social network.
- How can we create really enjoyable learning experiences?
- create lots of different ways for people to learn.
be prepared to be flexible if your facilitating a learning experience
see learning as a collaborative - curious experience
go in and have some fun
link learning to experience
let people tell their stories before you bombard them with theories
in the workplace link learning to a work project
have chocolates in learning spaces
- Anything else you'd like to add about yourself?
- Love champagne, my own company, great conversations (usually with other people!), reading, and being curious.
- Do you run websites or blogs that you want to let us know about?
- http://lizbiz.wordpress.com

Many thanks to my brother Marc for adding in all the really useful sites and information.

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
