As the media industry is going down the drain we need to leverage new tools to serve the democracy, and keep the public eye on the authorities.
Those tools are the internet as a free and unrestricted platform, an upgrade of the concept ”open government”, and ourselves.
We must start caring about the tools, and then we must start sharing our knowledge.

If it's not online

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
