5. All For One
Love many, trust few, and
always paddle your own
canoe.
-American Proverb
6. One For All
Teams are units of
belonging. Members join,
are energized by the team's
spirit, and a sense of
belonging that encourages
them to contribute to give
back to the team.
- Jono Bacon (The Art of
Community)
7. Learning
A persisting change in human performance or performance
potential…[which] must come about as a result of the learner’s
experience and interaction with the world.
Driscoll (2000)
8. Half of what is known today was not known 10
years ago. The amount of knowledge in the
world has doubled in the past 10 years and is
doubling every 18 months according to the
American Society of Training and
Documentation (ASTD). To combat the
shrinking half-life of knowledge, organizations
have been forced to develop new methods of
deploying instruction.
-Gonzalez, C., (2004). The Role of Blended
Learning in the World of Technology.
