How about organizing Forums around Topics? 2) Archives to past sessions are there -- be can we link / tag topics? 3) Think about site mirroring. 4) What are other Resources to post on the site ? If a resource does not do RSS feed, let's post it as a Resource. 5) Send your email if you would like to post comments / content on the site. Suggestions for where group can head next: 1) We are doing a good job of sharing the program with campus. 2) Ideas to further connect with the area community: for non-profit groups, storytelling is a key part of communication / marketing the role of story-telling is key with community leadership. it would be great to add the site to "PortalWisconsin.org". Reaching out in multiple ways. Facebook, Lists, f2f. Keep sharing program with area community centers, curriculum development staff, teachers, students 3) At each session, be sure to ask the audience to think about "how can I apply this in my teaching, researcher, work ?" Suggested speakers and new members: Bob Kahn - storyteller in the community - as a presenter or organizing member. |
