<div>
- both my parents youngest, with siblings 9 - 18 years older</div>
<div>
- like their parents, busy being Americans - especially during WW1 / 2, German & Jewish</div>
<div>
- not generation when kids asked parents what they hadn't been told </div>
<div>
- I asked my parents, but not my aunts / uncles, even when in my 20's</div>
<div>
- tiny NYC apts. meant not much kept<br />

- incorporates blended learning, interest groups, unconference (online via HOA or webinar hand-raising, or at in-person event)<br />
- spread over several weeks, provides time to digest / practice individually, and network with fellow students virtually, even after class ends<br />
<br />
<b><u>Meetups advertised via bloggers, sign-up open to public who read postings</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Physical local meetings<br />
- go to evite site for free registration (like Sheri Fenley sets up for Sacramento event headcount)<br />
- table topics & facilitators (like SCGS Jambofree), people move from table to table<br />
- free room/tables/chairs: perhaps FHC, society, library, patio dining (eat & schmooze after)<br />
<br />
Online meetings - maybe possible to mimic above?<br />
- via HOA: join/drop "filmstrip", or post questions/comments (like DearMyrtle); recorded free<br />
- via webinar hand-raising too limited? is there a multiple speaker format?<br />
<br />
<b><u>Topic-specific formats</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
"Explorinars" (like Thomas MacEntee)<br />
- great for learning to use a new tool (eg Evernote, Dropbox)<br />
- pace & step-by-step instructions allowed installing & setup during webinar!<br />
- recorded, so could playback & pause, if desired<br />
- perhaps a group followup session a couple of weeks later could help both answer questions after using, as well as share how others using?<br />
<br />
"Stump the Panel" (like CGSL)<br />
- an attendee asks a research question<br />
- 3 panel members suggest ideas and/or conduct on-the-spot short online research<br />
- then floor opened to all attendees to make further suggestions, or ask questions about suggestions (eg how might be used elsewhere, more details about a new-to-them resource)<br />
- repeat steps above, for question from another attendee, round-robin<br />

<br />
However, the content needs polish, citations are outlined but not included, and there isn't a photo or image anywhere, so that's my goal for 2Q:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Goal 1: Each Saturday, re-post equivalent 1Q blog post with any research progress or ideas, plus polish content, include citations, and add at least one photo or image.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
1Q bonus points to me, for:<br />
- additional blog posts made under tags: research and tips<br />
- spiffed up look of blog with better template and text colors<br />
- added tabs / pages: about, families, finds, toolbox<br />
