How Simulations, Games, Virtual Worlds, and Web 2.0 are Revolutionizing Education and Training
There is a quiet revolution happening in education and training around the world. Simulations, games, virtual worlds, and Web 2.0 are quickly changing perceptions of how we can and do learn. Some even anticipate that they will change learning more in the next 10 years than anything has since the invention of the printing press. This revolutionary change has the potential to impact formal and casual learning at all levels of society, from public education, home learning, corporate training, military and combat readiness, to economic development and nation-building. Read on to learn more about these drivers of change and how they can be harnessed for individual and organizational success.

The Hidden World of Bartering
I remember vividly my first experience scuba diving. As soon as I went beneath the surface of the sea, I realized that an entire world existed every day within my own world-and I wasn't at all aware of it. Whether or not I knew of it, that world was still alive and happening.

Walt Disney World
In the Frommer’s Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, author Bob Sehlinger says, “When it comes to Walt Disney World you either need a plan or a frontal lobotomy.” Indeed, as huge a complex of theme parks as Walt Disney World is, without adequate research, there are undoubtedly many things that would never be noticed or uncovered by the public. From what goes on in the ‘backstage’ areas of Walt Disney World to the number of ghosts that ‘live’ in the Haunted Mansion, Walt Disney World trivia is the subject of much eager discussion.

Can You Really Type At Home and Earn Money?
The internet is changing the way the world does business. Tasks that once required a person to be in an office and on a typewriter can now be done from anywhere in the world and be sent immediately when they are finished anywhere else in the world, in a matter of seconds.

Three Reasons Why Revolutionary Change is Happening in Education and Training Today
Simulations, games, virtual worlds, and Web 2.0 are revolutionizing education and training around the world. Here are three reasons why it is happening today.
Sales Training that Really Works
Research and practical experience reveals that many of the widely used sales training approaches and techniques are largely ineffective with a relatively small proportion of the learnings being retained after the training event. Salespeople have relatively little brain space allocated for theory and respond best to highly interactive, participative and engaging simulations that mimic the reality that they will face in the field. Such simulations are feedback rich and play on salespeople's competitive instincts as they compete with one another in the simulations.
Giving Employees a Test Run Before Hiring
Be gone with staid interviewing questions, behavioral “what ifs” and real-life simulations. Just put the candidate to work and see for yourself firsthand whether he/she is actually what he/she claims to be. Not that all other techniques should be done away with entirely, but at least with a pre-hire trial approach, decisions don’t need to be solely dependent on a set of variables that are tenuous at best.
The world we share
We live in three worlds; the world in here, the world out there, and the world we share. In here our views are just that, out there are other people’s views. In the world we share are the views we agree on. In any successful relationship the world we share is the critical one. I trust that today and every day you will resolve to build more of the world we share and be less precious about the world in here or the world out there.
How to operate in 'I'm Okay' Mode
In the knowledge that your circumstances are never you, be aware that the world you see is not the world that is you. Open your heart to a readiness and a willingness to say ‘I can change my world’.
Are Your Beliefs Holding You Back?
The beliefs I hold underlie everything I do and say and how I perceive the world around us. My beliefs combine to construct a complex web of interconnected concepts that forms my model of the world. It is literally how I see and experience the world. I have “concepts about the world and a concept is merely a belief and a belief is merely an opinion I have a particular loyalty to.*
