    posted message: Hi Everyone! Welcome to week 2 of our seminar. Topic: Cross-country education borrowing and lending. I kicked off the discussion to Task #5 here: http://ow.ly/bxT34 Feel free to join in (even if you missed/skipped Task #3). We won't have a call on Skype this week, but I would like to schedule a call at least once during the month for those that want to talk "live". If you would like to join a call, please share when you are available to do so here: http://ow.ly/bxT9l Have a great week. See you online! Anna

    posted message: Hi Everyone. Since only 3 people RSVPed for today's call, the 3 of us decided to postpone it so more can join. I put together a brief survey so that you can share your thoughts on 1) if/when synchronous calls should occur and 2) how we can make this course a more interactive and fulfilling experience for all. If you have a chance in the next couple of days to share your thoughts (on task #4), that would be fantastic! http://ow.ly/btOpf We have some interesting conversations happening in "Global definitions of learning and education" (task #4). Feel free to participate and share your thoughts: http://ow.ly/btOnw Anna :-)

    posted message: Hi Everyone. 1) If you are having trouble viewing the subtitles for Munir Fasheh's short video this week, scroll over the bottom of the video, click CC and then select "English". 2) Even if you don't have a chance to watch/read everything, feel free to jump into this week's discussion, as you can share your thoughts independent of the videos/readings. 3) If you intend to join the Sunday call, please RSVP on the survey on task 3 or send me an email (anna @ boneducation.com) by end of Saturday so that I can invite you to the group call. Thanks! Have a great weekend! From sunny Dubai, Anna

    posted message: Dear Global Dialog Participants. Great to see so much activity on the Introductions and Seminar culture page! As you start to watch this week's videos and respond to the online discussion questions for Task #3 (Global definitions of learning and education), I would be grateful if you could RSVP for Sunday's Skype call by Saturday (see bottom of Task #3 for RSVP form) so that I have everyone's Skype names in advance of the call. Thanks! Anna (Skype: annabatchelder).
