Community Seeding 2.0: Seeding communities with social media training
Print This Post
Getting a community of practice going is a topic of abiding interest, debate, and learning in CPsquare. In the past, the technology side would include starting an email list, setting up a gated forum on a website, calling a teleconference or writing a community charter together. Web 2.0 technologies offer many more choices than we ever had before, so we see a number of communities seeded by teaching a specific group of people to use social media together. As they figure out the different tools and how those tools work with each other, people get to know each other, conversations get going and a community begins to form.
Gathering the different experiences from CPsquare and beyond, in a conference format, we will address several questions during the week of August 23, 2010 such as:
- What are the elements and the results of this strategy?
- Which social media tools are taught, how and in what order?
- What does the developmental process look like?
- What is predictable and what is surprising?
- In what contexts does this strategy work?
This conference is in the early planning stages, but June Holley, Joitske Hulebosch, Josien Kapma, Caren Levine, John Smith, LaDonna Coy, and Nancy White are all planning to present. There’s still room for others, so join us if you have something to offer or just want to tag along! If our discussions won’t fit in one week, we’ll go longer.

Where will the discussion take place. I could present on what we’ve learned through PLP’s communities.

We’ll probably use several platforms for this conference. I’m hoping that each presenter posts something about their work in our forum. And I expect that there could be some back-and-forth discussion there, including comparisons across the several cases that will be presented. Some sessions might be teleconferences, others will use platforms like Elluminate or WebEx.
We usually try to negotiate some framing questions for ourselves, and those are likely to be discussed in the Web Crossing forum.

I could use Elluminate. Is there a place that gives details such as what I need to do as a presenter– when and where — stuff like that? Also, my blog address at the top of members blogs has changed. Could you please update. http://21stcenturycollaborative.com
Thanks!

[...] Seeding2.0 Conference, organized by CP Squared – a community of practice on communities of practice (week of August 23, 2010 near Seattle, WA). I’ve been following CP Squared for some time, and finally joined the group (I used materials from this group to support CSW’s learning network practice as well as share learning within the Community Initiatives team for which I served as the founder and Director). I’m not sure what to expect, but CP Squared comprises top-notch thinkers and doers in the space of learning, innovation, and dissemination via networks. [...]

Seems there’s a great conference coming up at #CPSquare: [link to post] If only I could do without sleep so I’d have 24 hours a day!
