Right now, everyone wants to develop applications for mobile devices and in particular for the iPhone, as it has changed the way we look at mobile devices. There is lots of material available about iPhone development on the web but very little about how to go about it. While working on IPhone development I have collected some links and we thought of creating a training plan for iPhone development for other Upsiders.

In a conversation with my ITA colleagues (we keep a Skype channel open and conversations emerge daily), we revisited the idea that there’s a higher perspective that needs to be highlighted: social media is a business engine, both internally and externally ! Jane Hart’ s been helping clients with social media marketing, and this has been an entree to talk about social media for working and learning.

Yesterday, I talked about how social added to formal learning. Today I want to extend social learning learning to informal learning. When I talked about the value social adds to formal, it was about processing the information in richer ways, to help facilitate learning. However, the value proposition for informal learning is different. We can start, however, with formal learning, because I see learning as a continuum from formal to collaboration.

Is innovation a methodology or is it the result of our efforts? One could successfully argue both sides of this question. With either position, there exists one consistent byproduct – Change. Regardless of definition, if we overlook creation of a sustained capability as our desired result, does it really matter how we define it?

In thinking about the benefits of adding social to formal learning for a presentation I’ll be giving, I realized that the main reason to extend social activities into formal learning is for the additional processing it provides. While there is processing individually, social interaction provides more opportunities. The types of learning processing that matter for learning are personalizing, elaborating, and applying.

The chicken came first and then the egg, according to British scientists. I’m relieved to know the answer to that age-old question. But there is another question just as vexing for nonprofits (and all organizations, for that matter). Which should they do first: improve the way the organization is managed, or clarify the goals and intended outcomes of the organization?

Associations are the hub of activity for "communities of practice.” Communities of practice are voluntary. Professionals join to gain access to peers, best practices, and education. What makes associations successful as communities of practice? Traditionally, associations have achieved the above objectives through face to face conferences. Trends and economic factors mean more and more reliance on technology.

Stories are a fundamental part of our humanity. We share them to inform, enlighten, and entertain because they touch our imaginations AND emotions. Therefore it’s no surprise that storytelling is one of the most powerful teaching techniques in our arsenal. Because stories can resonate so profoundly with an audience, they’re a great way to grab attention, make content more accessible, and make your training “stickier.” .

What do you think the typical manager might say if you told them their employees don't gossip and engage one another in non-work related tasks enough? Most managers have heard of the watercooler effect without ever having the meaning of the concept sink in to their understanding of how it relates to performance and collaboration. A couple of studies released this summer dealing with performance and collaboration in teams merit consideration.
