I am looking forward to participating in this conference as it may broaden my understanding of informal learning and its role in the tug of war between immediate deadlines and knowledge/skill development in the workplace.  It was an online conference such as this (Work Literacy Web 2.0 For Professionals) that helped me take the leap forward in actively using a variety of social media tools to not only support my own learning but also promote these tools among my colleagues and clients. I’ve been reading Tony Karrer’s blog for a year and he consistently provides a challenging spectrum of insights. Check it out!
