Twestivals and Facebook Fridays

NCVPS is excited to announce our new video cast feature each week at www.ncvps.org ( http://www.ncvps.org/ ). This week the video cast is tilted "Twestivals and Facebook Fridays". The purpose of these two events is listed below, and we hope you find them valuable as we continue to provide your district and school with the virtual advantage.

Twestivals - These are events on twitter where multiple people come together for a common cause, learning, and/or to contribute. The best part about them, however, is by following the hashtag, a twitter location, you do not have to log on at the exact time to benefit from the learning. Therefore, NCVPS will host a twestival session each Wednesday from 9:30-10:30 a.m. These sessions focus on systemic and systematic leadership for not just schools and districts, but for any organization struggling to make "what is said" turn into "what is actually done". This week's twestival will be at this hashtag site on twitter.com - Follow, participate, or retweet at #ncvtwest. If this is your first time to use twitter, use this video to help you and/or your team learn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddO9idmax0o&feature=fvw

Facebook Fridays - This session will be a facebook interactive event on Friday, 9/18/09 @ 9:30-10:30 a.m. and/or in a rolling fashion where participants will post ideas to key questions and remarks regarding how each of you build capacity in your organization to train the next generation of leaders.
