MessageMakers often submits its work to awards competitions and waits eagerly to hear the judging results. Today, the tables were turned.
As a winner of Aurora Awards in the past, including a platinum best of show, this year MessageMakers' staff was invited to judge some of the video submissions.
Over the next few weeks, we'll share some foundational information related to adult learning. The acronym "ADULT" is a good one to guide us.
This week, A:
Adult brains are ACTIVE. Adult learners may look like they are attentively listening, but their brains are busy.
How do you handle registration for volunteers and event participants? Have you found a web registration solution that you like? We've tried a few without being too impressed.
All this changed recently, as MessageMakers signed on with TRS (short for "The Registration System") as an official source.
MessageMakers is glad to partner with the Verve Pipe to create a music video of its recent live performance of "Wake Up" from A Family Album at the Mid-Michigan Children's Museum. Feel free to use it to wake up the kids in your life.
Here's another quick tech tip for your Friday.

In case you didn't catch it in the Lansing State Journal, we wanted to share our president's editorial "Built on the arts: Old Town creates atmosphere of culture, creativity."
Come to Old Town on a summer's night and you might get a first impression of fantastic life and activity.
Here's a friendly reminder that I still have to remind myself of on occasion:
It's easy to make up a great-looking layout and want to send it off straightaway after proofing to the client, so said client can admire the awesomeness you've created and note any changes desired.

MessageMakers is glad to announce the release of a promotional video we produced to promote The Verve Pipe’s new album, A Family Album.
The kids' concerts in the video were organized to promote the album. At the shows, kids were dancing and having a good time with the band.
Our congratulations go to the whole Old Town Lansing community (and the Old Town Commercial Association in particular) for reaching the semifinalist stage of the 2011 Great American Main Street Awards! From the 10 semifinalists, 5 winners will be chosen.
