What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

• Seize the opportunity to articulate what you stand for — at a time when everyone is listening.
• Unemployment – why it's a thing and important to know everything about, including benefits.
• Quote of the week: “It was like a reality check.  I'm not alone, I'm not the only one home in quarantine — everyone is — but we're making the best of it right now." – anesthesiologist Steven Winnett
• Speaking of unemployment, Coursera is giving unemployed workers access to 3,800 online courses.
• How to address people during a global pandemic ... How are you?  What's up?  Safe and healthy?
• How to respond when a crisis becomes the new normal.

The idea is to use technology to bring global education resources to schools to personalize education, to engage students on a daily basis in collaborative learning with global partners, and to enable teachers and students to create authentic works for others around the globe.

Two Stanford computer science professors -- Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng -- are offering higher-level online education courses for FREE at Coursera.  Yes, you read that right.

What is Coursera?

We are a social entrepreneurship company that partners with the top universities (refer to illustration) in the world to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free. We envision a future where the top universities are educating not only thousands of students, but millions. Our technology enables the best professors to teach tens or hundreds of thousands of students.

Through this, we hope to give everyone access to the world-class education that has so far been available only to a select few. We want to empower people with education that will improve their lives, the lives of their families, and the communities they live in.
