We had great response to last month's question - What Did You Learn about Learning in 2008? This was a great opportunity to look back at 2008. This month we are going to look forward.
Thus, for January the question is:
What are your
Challenges, Plans and Predictions for 2009?
The goal here is again to be a bit reflective.
- What are your biggest challenges for this upcoming year?
- What are your major plans for the year?
- What predictions do you have for the year?
- January 2008 - Predictions for Learning in 2008?
- December 2006 - Past experiences. Present Challenge. Future Predictions.
Option 1 - Simply put your thoughts in a comment below. This may be hard given the complexity of the topic.
Option 2 -
Step 1 - Post in your blog (please link to this post).
Step 2 - Put a comment in this blog with an HTML ready link that I can simply copy and paste (an HTML anchor tag). I will only copy and past, thus, I would also recommend you include your NAME immediately before your link. So, it should look like:
Tony Karrer - e-Learning 2.0
or you could also include your blog name with something like:
Tony Karrer - e-Learning 2.0 : eLearningTechnology

Happy New Year Tony!
Mine were few and simple. I did them on the 1st and chose to summarise only my predictions and hopes for 2009.
But I can summarise my plans and challenges right here.
My plans are to cope with the challenges.
My biggest challenge will be to spend less time writing blog posts!
Catchya later

since 2008 the declination of the economy started.. maybe it will continue in 2009.. we have to challenge this big problem we will encounter...
Hi Tony,
I've posted my answer in my blog, but since it's written in Spanish I'll post a translation here.
Feliz Año Nuevo!
Beginning with the challenges I face this year, without a doubt the biggest is achieving a healthy balance among the personal, family and professional aspects of my life. 2008 brought with it many changes, from an important increase in my work responsibilities (e-learning, corporate marketing and employer branding) to the birth of my daughter (my third). Another challenge continues to be the e-learning education/evangelization process within my company. And finally, I'm sure the world crisis will bring many new and unexpected challenges which I hope to be prepared for.
I have many plans for 2009, but in order to keep focused I'm concentrating on 4:
- Writing a blog
- Answering The Big Question every month
- Teaching
- Getting more exercise
And finally, my predictions... although this seems to be the easiest part for many, I always seem to have a hard time. Maybe there are too many things that still surprise me...
1. The crisis will change the perspective of many departments that up to now have been closed to anything not licensed by Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, etc. (up to now the only people that seem to openly promote the use of open source software in the corporate world are developers and network administrators).
2. Human Resources departments will have the opportunity to play an increasingly strategic role, given their importance in the adoption of social and collaboration tools.
3. Many Web 2.0 companies will merge, and many more will disappear, asa result of greater adoption by the corporate world - their quality and reliability expectations will lead to consolidation, where only the best will survive.
4. Big corporate software vendors will continue to increase their presence in the Web 2.0 tool space, but they will once again fail to match the functionality and versatility of open source alternatives.
