So many choices: What are the tangible steps

So many choices as to me learning needs and goals.


I might want to choose to develop the capacity to:





  1. Cloudsource ideas and improvements to health promotion resources that I have been involved in developing such as The Connecting with Kids cards, SEEDS (Social and Emotional Early Development Strategy) and the Healthy Bodies Health Minds comprehensive framework.

  2. Run a Community of Practice around using these resources/programs/approaches.

  3. Using wikis to get comment on project plans and grant submissions and to register community. support for grant ideas. I think Google docs might be the tool for this.

  4. Weaving together Youtube and Facebook, blogging and my email contacts to explain the strategic directions in my mental health promotion work and to engage people in a conversations about how we could work together in pursuit of common goals.

  5. Organizing launches of health promotion resources/programs and do online familiarization sessions. Use social bookmarking for evidence brokering.

  6. Deliver more inclusive online and interactive training particularly to rural and remote partners.

  7. Use email list managers, Facebook, Twitter and SMS to organize F2F or virtual events.

So many options and decisions.



  • But it is much clearer to me what I need to being doing now .


  • Practice, Play, Explore, Trial, Checkout, Evaluate, Put aside, Adopt, Reflect.

  • Master the software.

  • Take reasonable and wise risks.

  • Understand and manage the risks of these technologies. Understand identify, monitor, avoid, live with.

  • Bring along my managers, peers and partners.

  • Feed this into my professional association.

  • Be enriched by the perspective and professional conversations about these tools and the emergent Health Promotion 2.0 paradigms.

  • Share and discuss my learning with line managers and worm teams and key partners. Invite colleagues to my blog.

  • Find allies and partners for new projects.

  • Understand what resources are needed. (Time and money and IT resources are needed or these types of projects.).

  • Work towards a project plan for small online project as a practice event. This is my sand pit -a safe play space for learning and development.

  • Work towards a “Session Plan-Lesson Plan” with-in such a project. I need to set up accounts and manage all the passwords and log ins securely.

Do I need to find a buddy with someone who has mastered what I'm still to master about online facilitation?
