The August Group of Rockstar Scribes are off and running!
As of today, the classroom is open and already, the Rockstar Trailer is hopping with students posting their creative work, encouraging each other, and offering tips and tricks. This week, we are focused on the theme of "deep listening" and what it means to be a scribe.
We have gotten so many great questions, sweet notes of support, tweets, and best of all... over 100 people are participating in our current class:

At first, we thought that this would appeal mostly to passionate educators, students, and facilitators who don't necessarily think of themselves as artistic, but who want to incorporate visual learning into their work.
We have been honored (and bit intimidated) to see veteran graphic recorders and guru facilitators joining as well!
This is truly a global classroom: Students from the UK, Belgium, Singapore, Ecuador, Australia, New Zealand and all over North America have jumped on board. There have been some great questions and we will do my best to answer them all.
------------------------------------------
QUESTION #1: WHAT TIME ARE CLASSES AND WILL I BE ABLE TO WORK THEM INTO MY HECTIC SCHEDULE?
The main question has involved the class format. So, to be clear, this is a self-paced set of video modules. Once you register, you receive one module every seven days.
The course is divided into six modules, one per week. But don’t worry!
There is no set schedule to view or complete any of the assignments. This is built for your personal development. Work at your own pace. Each module builds upon the previous section and supported by videos, references, suggested reading, and PDF documents.
You can review videos and materials at anytime, day or night, on your laptop, iPhone, iPad or web-enabled device.
------------------------------------------
QUESTION #2: HOW MANY SLOTS ARE AVAILABLE?
Our goal is to have the community be large enough to generate some real energy and vibrancy, but manageable enough to actually get to know people and interact.
We currently have 99 people signed up on the waiting list, and fully expect to sell out once registration *officially* opens on Aug.1st. (For folks on the waiting list, we will open registration towards the end of July.)
------------------------------------------
QUESTION #3: HOW MUCH DOES IT COST AND WHAT DO I GET?
First off, before Aug.1st, students will save $200 on the course. That is close to 40% off! Afterwards, the price will be $497.
Second, you will have access to awesome video tutorials packed with techniques, tips, tricks, and technology to kick-start your Rockstar Scribe status.
Third, those who have signed up are already sharing their hopes, dreams, and artwork in the Rockstar Trailer, a platform for uploading photos and videos as we go through this creative journey together. So, this is truly interactive and, er, dare I say,... fun!
Finally, there are some pretty deep discounts available for groups of 5 or more, so bringing along friends and colleagues with pay off.

QUESTION #4: WHERE DO I SIGN UP?
Funny you should ask...

Our tour guide points to a nightclub with a brown awning and the windows sealed up with cinderblocks.
He points as we roll by in the minivan. "That's where a lot of things start that end up with someone getting shot."
After scanning the intersection, he slowly turns right. "The nightclub and the high school, stuff starts in those two places and ends up getting finished in the street."
Our guide is a "violence interrupter" for Cease Fire.
Influenced by a season of catastrophic downfalls and colossal system failures, the theme of the PopTech 2010 conference was Brilliant Accidents, Necessary Failures, and Improbable Breakthroughs.
In a mobile paint studio in the skybox above the PopTech stage, over 30 paintings and drawings were cranked out in real-time over the three days.
In the last days before Christmas, we (finally) created a PDF combining incredible photos by Kris Krug.
Today in Los Angeles, we had our corporate debut of a new and exciting service we are calling Doodles in Motion. Inspired by the impact of Cognitive Media's RSA videos, we have been experimenting with layered digital painting, video projection and graphic facilitation.Alphachimp LLC is a visual learning company based in Houston, Texas.
Through drawings, animations, and the design-thinking process we help people understand complex situations and make better decisions.
We provide a cluster of inter-related services in the area of visual learning, graphic facilitation, problem-solving, and innovation.
