Book or Bible study odcast (God Complex, On Being?) or video (Soul ancake, Jason Chesnut, TED Talks? ) conversation Research and best practices: Work to build buy-in, enthusiasm Choose a network hub that s appropriate for your people and help them get connected. Make the most of your gathered events. Be mindful of varieties of learning styles and generational differences (see Gould). Don t worry if it doesn t take off right away but do your best to invite engagement. Find the sweet spot of clear structure and simple expectations. 11
12 Tech demo: Three good options to build your hub are groups, blogs, listservs Next steps: Curate the content and the learning experience Start small: Identify a small group who want to learn together Design your network: Choose a hub, learning goals, and realistic activities Find a partner: Facilitating a network is much easier when two can share the load Evaluate often: Launch your network, model the participation you seek, collect feedback constantly 12
