International Training Work: Most of my work is designing and delivering capacity building projects for nonprofits literally all over the world.

Last week, I had the opportunity facilitate a " Social Media Strategy Map " workshop for over 100 Bay Area nonprofits.

Here are some reflections on the instructional design: 1.

Of course, the projector didn't work (did I mentioned that I had lugged the 50 pound projector up four flights of stairs.) I could have done some things better with Webinar instructional practice. First, my preferred method of instruction is to be more interactive and facilitate discussion. What did I do?
