Learning as a way to cope with change.
Kathleen Gesinger Training Specialist WebJunction/OCLC
Change happens every day.
Learning can happen every
day.
My first learning organization
Peer to Peer
Learning doesn’t always need to be formally arranged.
Create your own learning community. Find a study buddy.
Mentoring
Mentoring can happen at any time.
Building relationships with your colleagues leads to learning.
Collaboration
Brainstorm solutions to a problem with your colleagues.
“How would you have approached this incident? What can I do differently next time?”
Knowledge Sharing
There are many different experiences.
How do we share those experiences to learn from each other?
Wimba Gurus
A dedicated time and a safe place to learn how others use this webconferencing tool. A place to share your experiences and ideas and
mentor each other.
Group: Wimba Gurus
Ground Rules:Be on time Don't interrupt No side work Close e-mail One conversation at a time Don't make the training too long Be prepared Be open to new ideas Speak your mind and the rest will follow Listen carefully to what others say Disagree in a quiet voice. Disagree in a respectful manner. Active Participation No question is a dumb question No idea is a dumb idea Accountability for vetting ideas Keep communication open between meetings via LSC
During our December Wimba Gurus meeting we identified possible meeting topics:Adding Content & Clear Slides Adding Video Advanced Training in Wimba Application Sharing Becoming Comfortable with Wimba Best Practices Sharing Breakout SessionDeveloping Interactive SlidesFacilitating MeetingsOnline ConferencesOnline MeetingsOnline SummitsParticipant Prep Presenter Prep Session Evaluations and PollsSlide Design
During our January Wimba Gurus meeting, the group prioritized the topics for future meetings. Some pretty solid topics floated to the top:
TOP POLL RESULTS Application Sharing Breakout Sessions Facilitating Meetings Online Online Conferences Slide Design Adding Video
TIED:Best Practices Sharing Developing Interactive Slides
We will use these topics as our guide in planning future meeting agendas.
Here’s how you create a breakout room…
“Here’s what it’s like to be a participant in a breakout room…”
“Who would be interested in hosting a breakout exercise next meeting?”
You can start today!
Consider how you can be a leader in
your learning organization.
