IDEAS is wonderfully eclectic. We are often working on a new kids website, a highly technical immersion center for a government or corporate client and an organizational transformation program for a fortune 500 company all on the same day. That diversity is what leads to the extraordinary opportunities we get...
Last week we sat through a PowerPoint presentation and as we watched and listened all we kept thinking was that we wish they had hired us to help them. Right there, within 5 minutes of sitting through their presentation, we could make the decision that this was not a company...
Two weeks ago a team from IDEAS went to Colorado to present at a seminar and got caught in the early season snowstorm. We wanted to close the loop on the trip so here's part two of their travels. We have been playing with our StoryJam product this year to...
It's been two weeks since I did a detailed update on the Audio A & Stage construction so here's where we're at. This has definitely been a different construction process than we had for the rest of the building back in February & March. For the original build out we...
We have been working with the American Red Cross for the past six months of so. Rick Stone has been the primary member of our team working with the Red Cross and he recently took a trip to Houston for the project. As his connecting flight was pulling away from...
So, a colleague and friend of the company set us up to do a couple of speeches and a workshop at the National Association of School Boards Technology and Learning conference in Denver. Who knew an early season snowstorm would almost shut Denver down! Anyway, we accepted the invitation to...

TeacherStudio™ (www.TeacherStudio.com), is a multimedia, research-driven, Web 2.0 site where teachers can see, hear, and collaborate with exemplary educators. This online professional learning community allows teachers across districts to come together anytime, anywhere to share...
We are commencing work this week with the Naval Hospital - Jacksonville on a number of fronts to enhance the patient experience throughout their system as well as identify ways to improve patient safety. In many ways it’s a classic example of the way we approach to culture change. We...
So I think this You Tube thing is going to stick around a while. I know, I'm a genius for thinking that all by myself. But what I really meant was that creating our own IDEAS You Tube Channel is really going to help us. Here's the story. A couple...
IDEAS is always experimenting. We also have a long history of collecting fascinating colleagues and friends on the road of story. A few years back, we were doing some work with the Navy Learning Strategies Consortium and we were part of a discussion panel on “learning games”. The dialogue was,...
This past week was pretty much the midpoint of physical construction for our new post production audio mixing suite and our insert/Foley stage. All of the framing is completed (hard walls, closets, ceiling), doors are cut, rough electric has been run for Audio A. We should be obtaining final permits...
