Over the years, I used this exercise for different audiences, from filmmakers to university professionals. This exercise is most appropriate for people who want to know the what/why versus the best practices of how to do it. The remix epitomizes the era of social relationships (see Jeremiah Owyang's Five Eras of Social Web ).

It was a little challenging to remix a workshop that would be relevant to these different perspectives and age groups and have people leave the room having learned something. So, remixed my slide deck to represent the different points of view. We did mostly full room discussion, but I broke it up with some moving around exercises.

I done various remixes -- for example most recently for fundraising and a version for Filmmakers. A number of o ther folks have remixed the game -- and it's been translated into different languages too. Ihad set up a wiki with the idea of collecting the remixes and incorporating some templates or make it easier for folks to remix.

I'm working on some new material and we're doing some small group exercises where participants will come up with some ideas about how to develop a social media strategy, identify metrics, and look at outcomes. It will involve the card deck, but remixing those now. The topic is on social media.

We began the session by filing out of the conference room to the parking lot outside for an interactive exercise called " The Dance Floor and the Balcony."

For this, I'm drawing on the Smart Chart of Kristen Grim and from working with a cadre of smart nonprofit communications folks who have remixed the social media game.

We created a worksheet with more detailed questions adapted and remixed from CCTV's wiki. Amy Sample Ward contributed a workshop group exercise based on Forrester's POST method. The original worksheet was developed from recommendations from the Spin Project and the " Smart Chart " developed by Spitfire Strategies.)

I used the social media game as a peer assist exercise for the first time. In all previous versions of this game, I used simulations (a fictional example of an organization or situation that had a smart objective and audience already defined). Many people have also remixed it.

The game has been remixed into different languages and used in different training contexts, but this is the first time it has been to Southeast Asia. The afternoon also included a small group role play exercise. Friday after lunch and following the t-shirt giveaway, it was time to play the Khmer version of the Social Media Game.

The space was large enough so we could have small group tables, space for food, and space to do full group and small group moving around exercises. I do a lot of small group and share pair exercises. We were lucky enough to have a fabulous space for the workshop in the Contemporary Jewish Museum. Social Learning: Face-to-Face.

User-Generated Flickr Birthday Card Contest: For my 50th birthday, held a contest where friends got to remix embarrassing photos of me into a 50th Birthday Card on Flickr. It also ties right into the lecture/presentation and class exercise of learning the technique of learning loops or real time tracking and reflection.

One exercise you might want to go through to define success is to gather a diverse group of staff and have them answer the following questions: How do you define success for our organization or program? It also works well with matching incentives, so your goal could be to help leverage a larger donation from an existing donor.
