As course 3 comes to an end it’s time to celebrate getting pass the halfway mark and start focusing on the the end of our COETAIL journey. Course 4 will start setting us up for that.
I have to apologize that I haven’t been as active in the community as I would like. The conference season is upon me and I find myself either in airplanes or giving presentations. The fun part has been meeting so many COETAILers face to face along the way. We held a COETAIL Meet-up at Learning2 in Singapore and had over 30 people in the room. It honestly blew Kim and I away as just a couple years ago there were 4 people at the meet up….and that included us. So even thought I haven’t been a virtual part of the community as much as I would like…I have been part of the face to face community and looking forward to meeting more COETAILers at ECIS in the comings weeks.
Creation Takes Time
This is really the big idea I hope you take away from course 3. That to make something worth sharing takes time…..a lot of time. So often we ask students to create the things you had to created during this course but we don’t give them the proper time it takes to make something really really good.
Also your course 5 final project is a 10 minute video that you have to create and we wanted to give you time now to see just how much time a 10 minute video will take you so you can plan that into your course 5 work time.
Talks Worth Watching
At the Learning2 conference the Learning2Leaders were asked to give 5 minutes talks on something they were passionate about. First of all, I’m proud to say that COETAILers Robert Appino and Rebekah Madrid were asked to give talks this year. Secondly, Kim (co-founder of COETAIL) worked with the presenters to make sure their presentations where of the quality we expected. In other words…..there is COETAIL juice all over this conference. 
I have embedded the playlist below (as videos are still being uploaded) for you to watch. Great talks, great presentation, great messages. Let this start motivating you for course 4!
