Connecting Network Weavers with Tutor/Mentor Connection
- As a follow up to the Network Weavers' 30 June 2007 conference call Daniel Bassill wrote this text on his talk page. TedErnst then moved the text here.
Among the next steps listed in the minutes to the June 30 conference call was "Set up a network weavers site on various sites and Start working on specific projects with different weavers (ie: David’s project and developing a support network for his project and use it as a model for local-driven network weaving – and – support Daniel’s project which purpose driven project – tutor/mentoring young people) "
For those who want to work with the Tutor/Mentor Connection (Daniel's project) I invite you to use this thread to discuss what that might mean and ways you might get involved.
At http://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2007/07/international-connections-to-england.html I show a graphic that represents how a network weaver can draw members of his network into an information-based discussion that leads individuals and/or groups of people to become leaders, volunteers and/or donors in tutor/mentor programs of Chicago or any other city.
If network weavers reach out to their networks in August, via blogs, email, web casts, etc. they can encourage involvement in tutor/mentor programs at a time of the year when every volunteer-based tutor/mentor program in the country is looking for volunteers, leaders and donors. Thus, getting more people to think and learn about ways and places to get involved will lead to actual involvement of more people.
In the links on my blog and the http://www.tutormentorconnection.org web site I point to places where people can get involved, and examples of people linking their networks to this information. As members of the Network Weavers network engage their networks, all they need to do is post a message and web link here, to show what they did. As that list grows, we'll build a list of examples of how Network Weavers are helping the Tutor/Mentor Connection, and how they can help similar causes.

L Daniel, the image that you posted (http://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2007/07/international-connections-to-england.html) is very cool. I look forward to better learning how to use these tools to grow our network. Thank you. 71.84.115.186juliecaldwell71.84.115.186
Thanks. I have a pdf on my site that focuses on collaboration. The cartoon on the first page was created by Thierry Koehrlen who I met at O'net. Here's the link: http://www.tutormentorexchange.net/Partner/CC/Presentations/collaboration/Collaboration%20Goals.pdf
Here's the link to the same image on Theirry's page. This illustrates how two or more organizations can work together to create visibility for a cause, and for each other. http://www.nosvies.com/2007/05/17/helpings-others-become-a-mentor-a-tutor-or-a-coach/
