I discovered this new tool during a discussion on the NTEN Affinity Group list for nonprofits and flickr about how to be efficient using flickr. The students had to create an image that was representative of the organization's core values and then create another image that another student could remix. Anyway, here's the flickr set.

The online facilitation list recently had a thread about choosing wikis. The discussion included some pointers to the tools as well as some clarifying questions. I found the above image in Flickr under a license that allows me to remix it -- so I changed the title. I'm also reminded of Andy Robert's wiki on wiki facilitation.

I won't be going over the tools in detail as many will have been discussed during the early part of the day and they can ask one another in their small groups.    Each group will be assigned an instructor/facilitator.      Now, I've remixed to give it some Hawaiian Aloha spirit.

But, I have to admit, its hard to translate PowerPoint presentations, panel discussions, and a huge stack of business cards into an actionable plan once back in the office. The agenda of the Leading Change Summit is different than anything I’ve seen in the nonprofit space, an interesting reboot and remix of the traditional conference.

There needs to be discussion. As one social media strategist told me over a year ago, "I facilitated social media guidelines as a first doable step because there was so much fear about encouraging staff to use social media at organization. The conversation is the first step. Intellectual property rights and other legal issues.

The objective of the The Innovation Exchange is to facilitate rapid and widespread adoption of environmental innovation in business. For one thing, the line between internal and external discussions is thin. The method is simple - they test their ideas, if it works they build on it and if it doesn't they remix.

According to Iavor, "Our role changed to a facilitator of conversations and content around the three key themes rather than a creator of messaging and materials." The other day I mentioned one of our goals on my status and my friends started to discuss it. This a terrific example of in working in networked way.

Most importantly, I need a good facilitator for each table. In workshops, it is important to have a full group discussion about people's concerns about social media and a discussion about organizational readiness. They were able to join the discussion in our Twitter channel. Photo by James Leventhal.

This year, I'm staying in on for Penguin Day and am facilitating sesion on Open Content and Nonprofits. While there is much discussion about the promise of "Open Source" software, there is arguably more promise and potential in creation and utilization of "Open Content" for nonprofit needs. Here's the description.

The focus of Eugene's work with this network was to better understand its community, the most promising group practices, and have an open discussion that would facilitate learning and interaction among these leaders who were miles apart, spoke different languages, and had Internet access challenges. 2) TRUST: Trust is Everything.

The session was expertly facilitated by the Monitor Team which included David Sawyer, Diana Scearce, and Heather McLeod Grant. We created a network of fans who are remixing our context and spreading our message, how do we guide them effectively without controlling them? How do we create a safe place (private) for discussions?

" The discussion reminded of the one I heard in the UK and read later on the Circuit Riders list " Is Open Source Fair Trade for Nonprofits ?" Or, has this issue already been discussed in this context? I attended a session about OS Online Communities facilitated by the Joomla! UPDATE: His name is Johan Janssens.

Later, I used it to summarize the wisdom that came out of the community discussion related to how artists and arts organizations can use the web. Later, as more and more people created web pages, I would hand facilitate comments and did primitive crowd sourcing. But not many people to share with or remix. A totally manual blog!

provocative questions, offers an alternative view, and helps facilitate fresh insights or alternative sources of information or expertise." My big question is when, as the facilitator, to get out of the way? The wikispaces discussion feature on each page is great for brainstorming ideas, problem solving, or pre-writing.
