Online Communities Elluminate Eleven
I missed this awesome Elluminate and am now catching up to the topic covered about creating and maintaining online communities. Quite excellent juicy content. What amazing information about online facilitation! As a budding entrepreneur with the goal of launching my first venture through a virtual office platform for project management infomation in tandem with face to face power meetings together are my personal hopes and dreams for the future. I found Nancy's talk to be very pertinent and to give me provoctive material to think about. Online facilitation is certainly a learned skill and helpful with conducting face to face facilitation that is necessary to educating others about your "offering" as a budding social engineer of business. Hey that's got a nice ring to it. While watching the Elluminate I live blogged. My new favorite way to capture a entry way into a portal of a particular point in space and time. And by the way I see that my absence was noted in the class and I sincerely apologize.
I must admit that I have been bitten by the entrepreneurial bug as my team and I were debuting our pitch to real world investors outside of the controlled environment of the BGI classroom. I was so engaged in our local food and living economy project I got tunnel vision. I am however still completely infatuated with the long term folksonomy implication of this pioneering class into social media and social change class. It will be the cornerstone of my creative work. Eighteen months for now I would like to conduct an experiment in the learning journal to record my prediction of massive traction in regards to fostering social change locally, nationally, and internationally. I am ambitious. I've got nothing to lose. I am excited about growing my digital identities. One as Hip Hip Namaste focused on art. consciousness. sustainability and my professional alter ego of a passionate capital campaign for sustainable industry.
Can't wait to dig in and do more research. Fabulous learnings for me tonight. A big appreciation to ChristorpherA for paying such careful attention to my request in the beginning of this course and was addressed in the final online class. Excellent. I really value this co-creation type of teaching style and it is very flattering to be a part of a group that is ChristopherA's social media change project. How far down the rabbit hole can we go with social change and our BGI network alone not to mention our diversified professional networks? The possibilities are infinite especially when you level the playing field with social web for social change. An engine to service the revolution. Nice.

Online Communities Nancy
aggregation around content vs. community around relationship
distinction of human dynamics, consciousness, confidence, risk tolerance, styles, emotion
abuse of power, distributing power through appreciative inquiry
We: power trust dynamic, shared forward movement or shared blocking, place of rapid change, attention to maintenance
how is it manifest, and how it is applied?
coaching and reflective journals a method of support and distributive power
whole systems change methods/management - change handbook - world cafe, virtual teams, keeping tract of interrelated tasks. project management rapid change, scaling out
aggregation of many communities
leadership looks different in community and networks, different facilitation skills may be needed
Planning a change process, amplify and support social change work in the formal stance after we have left the program and graduate in 6 intensives
"network level" diversity of skill set and professional industries hub connection to leverage
more likely find connection we need in a wider networks might be more useful
networks
how do you stay connected visibly, tend to use community approach
how do you use each other as intermediary into networks and having practice doing that?
spidergram provision technology to community to practice
9 orientations that show up in communities
Assessment tool for clients, or other organizations
Need a digital and be visible with digital identity, crucial component
http://www.km4dev.org
Give it your attention when you have a clear outcome
Activate a network, amplification of the flag. keyword management using RSS feeds
Faster and more is not always better, how to use the network to filter and share responsibility is a fabulous strategy. where do you get into the river and when do you leave the rest to your network?
What is the most valuable things about your relationship together 12 months out? Reflect on the purpose of connection now and then later? Connections often morph into something else.
Value: stay together as a community
ie. every other month open call, whoever shows up show up
what can they say yes to? (in regards to staying in touch after graduation)
Making an offer in the point of time to connect
synchronous - may put if off, can do later
what is important right now.
async - keep a connection with the class other the time
synchronous has to be easy to say yes too is the heart beat that keeps the engine going
combining face to face online connection - mixing modalities keeps interest in a larger group

post mortem
Blink. Blink. Blink. That would be my eyes trying to adjust to the phenomenal pace of this class. I am a changed woman because of me believing in myself and cultivating the voice of personal integrity. All because I get by with a little help from my friends. My classmates came through the web during some of my darkest moments this Fall and lifted me up with their words of encouragement. At times I felt so isolated up here in the artic north thousands of miles away from the core of my BGI peeps yet through the culmination of great class discussion and exercises I still felt connected through this piece of technology that rests on my lap as we speak. Or should I say as I type. Wow. The pace of this class was swift and furious mimicking the pace of my life as a graduate student. What I really liked the most about this class are the readings, theories, and collaborative teaching style of ChristopherA. I really felt the vibe of creating the future together. And I am forever grateful for the archived info. I will most certainly be coming back for more. On my journey to peace I landed in the lap of BGI. I arrived at the water's edge of innovation and I am blinded by the brilliance of the light that reflects off of my amazing future. Yes, and...this class for sure has been the gateway drug. The possibilities are spread before me vast and endlessly exciting. "When I grow up" meaning my post BGI life I plan to continue to leverage the power of the web to do international peace work in Ayiti. Yes, I do hope to take Hip Hop Namaste on the road and continue my journey of...
Life imitates art. Living peace out loud. Building a bridge between that which is divided in two. Thanks to this class and the powerful branding exercise I am able to OWN the POWER of me.
