Social Learning

May 17th, 2010

It was an exciting morning for students, staff and members of the Multimedia Film Festival Council of York Region. Films that were submitted to the inaugural year for the Festival were viewed by students at 3 different locations. A lively discussion, facilitated by Hillary Van Welter (Waste Films) had students offering their impressions and opinions about the films. This is a short overview of the discussions that took place amongst the schools.

I’m using the term social learning as I’ve just discovered an interesting discussion on this term at Bud the Teacher’s blog. It should be of interest to schools and community groups involved in student & civic engagement.

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
