This invitation was posted on my internal 3M blog inviting my colleagues to join a DS106 experiment I wanted to run from behind the firewall of a corporation.
Your Invitation
Coming soon! DS106@3M
Want to have some fun improving your 3M digital communication & collaboration skills? This is your invitation to join me in creating our first 3M DS106 Salon*. Where we’ll develop our digital presence and learn the power and responsibilities that come with good digital citizenship – more important than ever as our digital lives blur between private, public, professional, and proprietary. The goal isn’t just to learn the technology. It is to do something much larger by using these tools as resources to improve our positive impact and effectiveness inside and outside of 3M. You can participate as much or as little as you like, drop-in, drop-out, drop back in again, as we create and collaborate alongside the 15-week open-online course in digital storytelling, DS106 headquartered out of Mary Washington University, which begins August 26, 2013.
* A salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation. [Source: Wikipedia Salon Image Source ]

Wxactly what I hoped to see in #headless #ds106 @Rockylou22 invites 3M colleagues to join her “salon” http://t.co/echlSPjyFZ bring others!
Fantastic- Rochelle this is the model I hoped for in Headless ds106, that someone experienced would bring along others.
I smile because “Salon” reminds me of a model my friend/colleague Shelley Rodrigo launched years ago among the community college system in Phoenix I used to work for. With a lack of internal supported initiatives to bring together people from the 10 college district, CyberSalonAZ was a monthly gathering at a local Phoenix bar with wireless with people would come to share ideas. It was an interesting model that existing outside the boundaries of the organization, and even drew in people like Todd Conaway, who works in a community college u a different Arizona county, and he has created local versions of this in his community.
Great idea, Rochelle! Makes me think I should be setting up something like this at UBC. But alas, I fear I wouldn’t have time to keep up with it throughout enough of the course–I’d organize it and then not be able to have time to meet. But I’m so glad you’ll be doing this, and I hope you get a few others to join in the fun!
Maybe what I should do is write up a quick blog post about the headless course, inviting other people at UBC to join in in a more informal manner (not meeting regularly, but with the ability to do so if people are getting stuck), and do it that way. I think I could handle that!
My favourite part here is the sliding gif–DJ’s dad?
