I’ve very recently become the editor of the quarterly newsletter for the Charity Learning Consortium and for the next edition we will be focusing on social media.
I’m keen to find some practical examples of where charities have used social media tools to capture and propogate learning within their organisation. I’m looking for all kinds of examples, no matter who big or small, but with the emphasis on learning and improving staff skills and knowledge, rather than engaging with stakeholders, clients or service users.
It would be great if I could get a range of third sector people to write a blog, tweet, shoot a short video or record an audioboo about their own examples, which I could then collate and refer to in the newsletter. Please feel free to leave a comment here or send me a link to your own blog, boo or tweet.
This is a lightweight tune perhaps but it’s nice enough, and more importantly, it served as an important purpose for me when I saw it playing at the gym on Saturday. It reminded me that one of the actions I committed to at the end of my coaching qualification was to carry out a mini research project. I would take three subjects, related to my coaching practice, and collect ideas and thoughts from other people around them, as well as reflecting upon them myself. Given that I’ve developed my interest in social media tools over the last six months, I felt that this would be a good opportunity to play around with some of those tools and see if I might use them to enhance my own thinking and understanding of the three topics I’m going to address.
Speaking of which, they are as follows:
Sanctuary
Creating a compelling picture of perfection
Modelling class acts
Sanctuary first then. I’m going to use Twitter to collect ideas around this topic from other people, with the question I’m going to ask them being as follows:
Where do you find sanctuary?
I expect that most of any replies that I get will be in text form, but I’m hoping that some might reply pictures or video. I’ll also ask myself the same question and document all the answers I receive on this blog.
