Behind the Scenes: Collaboration on 12 Days
Objective: do something with the twelve days of Christmas for JJLN
Inspirations: Rosa's first challenge, Toni chimed in, Blaine goes with the flow, Steve adds his two cents, Terry makes a good suggestion, Rosa comes back, Steve finishes it
Rosa's challenge
Another idea/ day marker:
How about a joint posting from all of us on a Christmas Day message for
the blog on 12/25? Something short and sweet? Thoughts?
Since there are 12 of us, we could do something on the 12 Days of
Christmas spin?
Rosa
Toni chimes in
I am not much of a singer, but would it go something like this?
<insert 12 days of x-mas music> On the 1st day of learning, my teacher
said to me "Go and log into JJLN"
On the 2nd day of learning, my teacher said to me
Hehehehe, wow still pre-coffee, but I like the idea of the 12 days of
Christmas. Can it be a list of "If I could give a gift of learning to
my special someone, I would give...." Mine would probably be fearless
curiousity, or a great mentor.
Again, just thoughts off the top of my head.
:)
Toni
Blaine goes with the flow
Toni, You inspired me.
Someone, please improve upon this, figure out how to work it into a
post, and/or tell me to stop embarrassing myself.

I think you get the idea...
John Adds a Note...
Don't Forget the Cartridge In a Pear Tree
So we can print everything out....
I like the idea of a Christmas posting...
I can't believe it's almost 2007...
Less than 12 days left...
I've learned one important thing this year...
The years are going by way too fast!
Merry Christmas everyone...
John
Terry's note:
Steve, you nailed it!
I'd only add perhaps "a joyful network for learning" (like to get the joy in there!)
Thanks, and Happy Holidays all!
From Rosa:
I'm with Terry - and then perhaps we could make it "Five Jubilant Learners" to get both words in?
Thank you, Terry and Rosa, here is what it looks like now: (Steve)
Rather than replicating it all again here, click to the final posting and enjoy!

by sharing this bit of behind the scenes, you can gain an understanding of what goes on with the collaborative effort around this joint posting. A few emails, a Google document and then the posting via Typepad to the blog. It is not hard work. In fact, the more fun it is, the easier it is.
Stick around. There is more collaboration coming in 2007!
The JJLN Foolish Music group were composed primarily of Rosa Say, Toni Howard, Blaine Collins, Terry Starbucker, and Steve Sherlock. The remainder of the JJLN group provided influential and joyful jubilant learning spirit to keep us on track.
Uh oh, now the bloom is off the rose and folks can see behind the scenes at JJLN. Actually, I think it's pretty interesting to see how much work goes into one post. Nice job of capturing it and sharing it!

yes Phil, and this came out a little sooner than I wanted. Typepad was supposed to be scheduling this for Tuesday AM but...
I think transparency is good, the magic is really created by coming together!
