The document discusses the evolution of learning from ancient to modern times. It summarizes key points as follows:
1) Ancient learning involved exploration and connecting knowledge to real world experiences. Learning focused on spiritual texts like the Vedas through listening, contemplation, and discussion.
2) Modern education was introduced in the 1830s and focused on standardized mass production of students through new subjects that were disconnected from nature.
3) Current learning emphasizes personalized, on-demand, and social learning through various modalities like e-learning, gamification, artificial intelligence, and digital learning tools. There is a shift from one-size-fits-all to customized learning based on individual needs.
Building Online Community with Staff (Sydney, NSW)Chrystie Hill
An insider's view on online community building for the staff at WebJunction.org, with links to our community building activities for library staff and patrons in libraries. Presented at the State Library of New South Wales on August 5, 2008.
The document outlines the strategic plan for Schlow Library from 2013-2016.

Kylie Rush is pitching a new news and social media website called PolitiSphere targeted at politically-minded individuals ages 18-30. PolitiSphere would provide political news content and discussion boards to foster conversation around current and future policies. It would partner with liberal think tanks to promote progressive content. The pitch emphasizes that PolitiSphere offers the engagement of social media alongside top news sites' content. It projects the site will become profitable within 5 years with a 6% annual return on investment.
This document discusses how emerging technologies can change the way people learn, teach, pray, and belong to communities. It recommends that churches embrace these trends, like cloud computing, collaborative environments, game-based learning and mobile learning to engage wider audiences and support their mission. Examples are provided of Catholic dioceses and schools using social media and the importance of teaching digital citizenship is emphasized to ensure safe and ethical use of new technologies.
The document discusses how libraries can build community both inside their physical spaces and online. It provides several quotes from librarians about the importance of human interaction, social networks, and engaging with communities in new ways. The document also highlights survey results finding that while people still use libraries for books, they also see them as places for socializing and community involvement.
The document discusses the foundations of social media and how organizations can effectively utilize social media. It describes social media as participatory, open, conversational, and communal. It emphasizes focusing on connections rather than size and using social media to strengthen communities. The document provides examples of how religious institutions have used social media like Facebook, blogs, and Twitter to engage wider audiences and build social capital through openness and sharing valuable information. It stresses that while technology is important, social media requires a strategic, community-focused approach centered around authentic human connections.
Strategic planning. You know you should be doing more of it. But the way you normally do it requires lots of up-front time to do and lots of follow-up time to get buy-in. And frankly, you have trouble with the buy-in part. All that trouble, minimal follow-through.
Great strategic planning processes are lightweight and participatory. This is nice-to-have for organizations, and it's critical for networks, where you don't have the benefit of hierarchy to influence its behavior. Networks will do what they do.
In this Leadership Learning Community webinar, I describe how to do strategic planning for networks. I draw heavily from my experience leading the open strategic planning process for the Wikimedia movement, which drew over 1,000 participants and led to a movement-wide shift in focus on increasing reach and participation in developing countries. I share how you can leverage these types of processes for both your network and your organization

Thank you for the opportunity to speak today about probably the hottest topic in the nation, social media. I recently attended the International PRSA conference in Detroit. The most attended session were on social media. It was interesting to hear how large companies are struggling with how to use social media. Everyone also agreed that public relations will forever be changed because of it.
