How you can help - Locally, I have provided Internet Service Provider companies, private clubs, and other businesses with an invitation to be an access point for Global Learn Day II. On an international level, I have personally invited the Knights of Columbus to host through their affiliation with the educational arm of the Catholic Church, Motorola Corporation and the World Trade Center.

I invite any on this list to copy this message to potential hosting sites and to add a personal note explaining that Global Learn Day is a world-wide free celebration of learning; GLD2 will have participation by the academy and industry in the dissemination of current distance education knowledge, and demonstrations of the current technology online; GLD2 is a true conference with the possibility of interacting online with other participants and presenters through streaming audio, web pages, and online moderated chat rooms.

If you notice eyes beginning to glaze over at the mention of the technology of the web, please let them know this conference is for them. Once they have experienced GLD2 the mystery of internet based distance education will have ended for them.

Please consider becoming a GLD2 hosting If you have not identified yourself as a GLD2 hosting site, please send a reply directly to terry@oltraining.com and I will add you to the list.
