EDU 2.0 for School and Business: Philippines

While I'm in the Philippines I'm going to be giving several presentations about EDU 2.0. If you're interested in learning more, one such free event is going to be 8:00 - noon on Dec 3, Room 209 Asia Pacific College, Makati City. If you live in the Philippines and want to learn more, you're very welcome to attend!

Here's the poster:

 

TEDxManila

I'm looking forward to presenting my ideas about "The Future of Education" at TEDxManila, which is an independently organized event that's part of the TED brand.

The presentations are recorded for posterity, so I'll post my video as soon as it's available.

EDU 2.0 for Business has launched

We just launched EDU 2.0 for Business!

EDU 2.0 for business is an easy-to-use, low-cost way for businesses to deliver online training to their employees and customers. It supports instructor-led and self-paced classes, and includes all the features that have made EDU 2.0 for school a runaway success.

EDU 2.0 for business is free for signup and setup; you only need to pay when you enroll students. The base price is about $1/student enrollment, which decreases as you enroll more students. 10% of all revenues from EDU 2.0 for business will be donated to EDU 2.0 for school, thereby helping teachers and students around the world.

We expect that the growth curve of EDU 2.0 for business will mirror that of EDU 2.0 for school, which is doubling in size every 6 months and already has over 100,000 members.

Whole Brain Catalog

I just found this amazing site - the Whole Brain Catalog - that aims to catalog and make freely available a huge amount of information about mouse brains. 

For example, check out this video tour through the brain of a mouse. I had shivers going up my spine the entire time I was watching it.
