Second day on the TOT

Today's lessons on the TOT of the E-mediat program was a great deal knowledgeable in terms of having broad information about social media. For instance, we learnt that there should be a certain degree of transparency when using the social media where some information should be private and the rest to network. An example of this, is the financial information of the organisation. In addition, I learnt how organisations can use some tools for listening purposes which can be done by specifying certain key words in an online tool such as 'Google Alerts', to get any online post related to that key words. In our case, some of the key...

a networked organization

The sessions of the ToT today focused on social culture, simplicity, transparency,  listening and what does it mean for the organization to work with free agents. The topics of the sessions were thought provoking, especially organization transparency and working with free agent.

Networking exercise -ToT

The Networking group exercise was the highlight of today ToT, it sparked discussion and encouraged participants to share ideas and pinpoints differences among each country. For me, and I am here talking from the perspective of a trainer, when I was doing this exercise I was thinking constantly how I can adapt it to the context of organizations and networks in Yemen. How can I simplify it and make it more accessible to them, at the same time use it to expand their thinking about their immediate networks as well as to see the bigger picture. For instance, can we divide the network mapping according to topics e.g. a network that have a pool of...

Four things about Lina Aleryani

Hello Everyone, I am looking forward to meeting all of you at the upcoming ToT in Beirut. I would like to share with you three things about me: Ø  I conducted ToT for IT trainers on blogging under the last program ( Women in Technology) which was the first time for me to hear the word blog.

Ø  I love the type of access and connection “ social media “ provides and I can’t wait to...
