Here is a audio file that served as the seed for this blog. The aim is for collective learning. Collective learning serves as a means for groups to accelerate learning and performance. Collective learning best operates when individuals share their lessons and learn from the lessons of others.
The speaker is John Seely Brown (Deloitte Center for Edge Innovation). The lecture was given as part of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program.
Description:
Within the guilds of this popular computer game, real innovation is taking place. Thousands of new ideas happen daily through crowdsourcing. In addition, all performance is measured and critiqued, both as a group and individually. Guilds also work collaboratively on larger projects, allowing for radical, exponential learning and results. Deloitte Center for the Edge's John Seely Brown encourages business thinkers to use the practices of the game as a strategic model for building better innovation.

Be Sheep, Chomp Through the Legal Meddow and Enter the Legal Corral
Dear Creative Thinkers that Cherish Honest Communication:
You are in great danger. Bar examiners hate you. It appears the bar seeks to pass and advance those that think like sheep (or are at least able to) and those that can bull shit their way through a problem.
So, when you sit for the essay and the performance test, please be systematic, methodological, and on point or a bull shitter that applies the facts.
Because as one might say..... Do they want you to be creative? Should you be a goat? Good idea???

Tip on Streaming Lectures: 1.5x
Everyone, this tip is monster.
Try watching a BarBri lecture stream at 1.5x speed. Some lectures are just perfect for this. For example, I am watching the Performance Test Lecture 1 at 1.5x speed and am loving it. Not only am I catching everything, but I am also not getting distracted as easy. So now, I am actually paying attention and am on schedule to finish a whole hour earlier than if I had watched along at GGU or at normal speed at home. Granted, some lectures will not be good for this method, because the professor speaks too quickly at times. Still, this method works well for a number of lectures.
How To: Open a stream, as you normally would. Expand image to full screen. Then hit simultaneously, "Control + Shift + G". This places it at 1.5x speed. To reduce it to 1.0x speed: Hit "Control + Shift + F" twice. The first time it will speed it up. The second time it will go back to 1.0x.
Special Thanks: I have to give thanks and props to Big Mike for sharing this tip with me. He is spot on with it.
I hope someone out there finds this post helpful. Also, please share your tips and tricks with us. We are eager to learn.

Step 4: Forget About Step 3
Damn, Step 3. Settle down. I mean, was that really necessary?
How are people feeling about Step 3s in general? What do you think the point of Step 3 is?

Welcome!
2010 Bar Takers,
Thanks for checking out this site. While I was surfing the web, reading articles, and just plain old procrastinating before diving back into real property, I decided to procrastinate more and create this blog forum for open use.
This forum is designed for the collaborators and team oriented people out there. Have some burning questions about an area of the law? Missed an important part of the lecture? Not sure what to really take away from the comments about your graded essays? Solve that here.
This year, I'm predicting an all time high pass rate.....

P.S. That was a real property joke.... Ok. Back to studying.
