Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

JANUARY 27, 2014

Apple calls this program “one to one” learning, meaning not one instructor but one computer per child. To many of these folks, Bob's wired classrooms seem threatening. But the more I learned, the more I wondered where the real threat is, and why children's museums have been so resistant to change.

I had a wonderful break – filled with fun, family, walking, hiking, reading, quiet, and reflection. One annual ritual is to create “To Do/Not To Do/Reflection” notebook where I use modified bullet journaling to track my progress. I also designed and facilitated a six month peer learning cohort with colleague Stephanie Rudat.

This morning I attended the MacArthur Foundation Digital Learning briefing that was taking place at the Natural History Museum in NYC. The MacArthur Foundation announced that it will be funding a five-year $50 million initiative, mostly for research, to try to understand how young people are using digital media and its impact learning.

I've been experimenting with integrating social media into instruction for the past five years, so the webinar was a great opportunity to reflect on practice.

Most of the projects with these programs were carried out collaboratively; so I had a chance to see how different kinds of organizations, from grassroots to national, operate. It focused on collaborative e-learning. A premise for this work is that we need to be better at working collaboratively???whether

Organizing a community and serving it well has a lot of dimensions poorly reflected in webstats alone. Adopt a classroom project from DonorsChoose and lead a blog fundraising campaign. Michele Martin has a very useful post about how to use a set of 3 tools to support a group or collaborative blog.

I'll be using a new online learning platform that I haven't used before and the participants are a slightly different audience than nonprofit staff or at least I think. Personal learning and reflection on and about your instructional topic. Collaboration on student projects or other ways. I'm nervous. Step 1: Find People.

Sure, it’s great to learn museum theory and history. One of the reasons I fell in love with museums is because they support learning that is distinctly un-school-like. If I've learned in a few years of experience and reading--for free--what I would have learned in graduate school, why bother? I asked my boss about this.

The exhibition is far from perfect, but it's a big step towards reflecting the "thriving, central gathering place" of our strategic vision. This gallery has always been tough for exhibitions--it serves as a pass-through to the classroom, and during evening events, people pour through it on their way to and from classroom activities.

Yes, an individual can bring clarity of vision to any project that might otherwise be sullied by the ups and downs of collaboration and compromise. When everyone in an organization is led by the same story, the organization's content output reflects that story and a mythic central storyteller.
