As a long-time trainer, professor, and teacher, I feel strongly that interactive learning activities – going beyond the death by Powerpoint Lecture – is the key to retention and application for participants. Your room set up can support your instructional activities that engage participants or get in the way.

All of my work these days is focused on designing and delivering effective training for nonprofits -primarily on the topics of social media, strategy, networks, and measurement.

Peeragogy comes from Howard Rheingold via his Social Media Classroom and he explains it here: When I participated in the Change: Education, Learning, and Technology MOOC , I grew even more interested in the intersection of digital media/networks with self-directed learners and collaborative learning methods.

On New Year’s Day, I heard a story on NPR about some research on instructional techniques used by many college professors – the lecture and how it is less effective in an age information abundance.

That means you have approximately 3 hours and the whole time should not be spent lecturing with a PowerPoint deck! I believe that workshops are an opportunity for nonprofit staffers to have some “thinking time” — to reflect and think about how the content applies to their specific situation.

I'm happy that my new laptop has an extended battery life so I am writing some reflections on the plane en route to Boston. What I most enjoy about doing face-to-face training workshops is the right after reflection questions: How could this learning experience been improved? What worked? What didn't? The report out was amazing.

Okay, I admit the improvisation work is a lot of fun, but there is a lot of learning embedded in the reflection and debriefs. It can help apply improv to our work in social change by practicing what it means to have a networked mindset. Not great as many of reflected. Collective Capital (@cocapimprov) April 6, 2015.

The key to success in social media is to leave room for reflection at the end of a project. Reflection gives you a chance to understand what worked and what didn't. I do this with every social media activity as well as whenever I teach. My challenge was to get into a reflective mindset.

Also, it will force me to reflect and write about what I learned - so often we're racing ahead at 100 miles an hour -- we never pausse to consider what we've learned. Don't be afraid to experiment with other social media channels, but make sure you've been a member of the community first. A nice win win for both of us.
