The Importance of Good Followers
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes218 views
The document discusses the roles and relationships between leaders and followers. It notes that leaders provide inspiration, lead by example, set clear goals and incentives. Followers provide a grounding in reality, skills the leader may lack, and the strength of teamwork. A poor follower is a "yes man" who follows for personal gain or reinforces a leader's negatives, while a good follower builds up the leader, brings new ideas, and re-ignites their shared vision.

Step out of the CMS box with me for a presentation on how freely available web2.0 tools such as twitter are used in my online course and could be used to enhance instruction in general. Tools will be demonstrated, uses will be discussed, and examples shown.
Online social networking, social computing, folksonomy/ social/ collaborative tagging, data mashups, ubiquitous broadband, wireless, hand-held and mobile computing, mobile broadband, and the cultural shift from passive consumers of content to engaged user-generators of content, have brought about a grassroots revolution: we have experienced a global democratization of access to tools, information, experts, content, professional development, and education as evinced by the open courseware and open source software initiatives that have changed how education is delivered, conducted, and defined.
It is important for those of us in the field of online education, as responsible netizens and educators in this moment, to participate, to evaluate, to document, and to expose our students to and engage them in this process. Effective online pedagogical/andragogical practices require that we use the online medium to achieve specific learning objectives and leverage the options and limitations of the online teaching and learning environment to make teaching and learning better, faster, safer, easier, and cheaper. It is not about immigrants vs. natives; it is about enhancing instruction with appropriate technologies that promote student engagement, interaction, and learning.
I incorporated these various web2.0 tools into the course for various reasons, but primarily to open the course boundaries beyond the CMS box to provide students with authentic social learning experiences. I also wanted student access to content they created and contributed to the class to persist beyond the end of the term. I will share with participants the lessons learned as I experimented with ways to enhance online instruction. Student survey results and comments will be presented.Enhancing Learning Options

The document discusses creating a culture of learning in libraries. It argues that learning, rather than training, should be emphasized because learning is self-directed, focused on the individual, and can happen anywhere and anytime. The key elements of a learning culture include management involvement, tying learning to strategic goals, and providing access to learning resources for all staff. Tips for creating such a culture involve things like dedicating staff to guide learning, collaborating with other libraries, and allowing time and incentives for staff learning. An emphasis on informal and ongoing learning is important for adapting to changing needs.PLC

This document summarizes a student's honors thesis exploring whether crisis plans make a difference in crisis outcomes or if other factors are equally or more important. The student conducted a content analysis of six crisis case studies examining the presence of a crisis plan, leadership response, and outcome. Preliminary results indicate that while a crisis plan is important, other factors like leadership response may be more decisive in determining a successful outcome. The thesis aimed to bring more research to this topic beyond just assuming crisis plans are the sole determining factor of a crisis's impact.
