innovative learning Editor Lisa Sjogren _______________________ Can you believe this newsletter is a collection of ideas from over 100 people? There are six excellent articles focusing on Collaboration, Open Source, and Cell Phones. We have had individuals submit pictures and share their ideas about innovation. So with all of the submissions I present to you the fall issue of SIGilt’s quarterly newsletter innovative learning. However, can I ask our members to do one thing for me? Share this newsletter with your colleagues. Click forward on the email, print out a copy to share, and have a discussion about innovation. If you would like to write for innovative learning the call for articles for our Winter issue will begin on December 1st.
