"2007-08 Citizenship Survey: Empowered Communities Topic Report 02/11/2009 Using 2007-08 Citizenship Survey data, this report provides an in-depth examination of community empowerment: whether people feel they can influence local and national decisions; whether they would like to be more involved in decision making; what would make it easier to influence decision making; and how people would influence decisions if they wanted to. It also looks at people's trust in institutions and what activities people actually take part in (civic activism, civic consultation, civic participation and volunteering). It is one of a series of annual reports from the 2007-08 Citizenship Survey. Other reports cover Volunteering and Charitable Giving, Identity and Values, Community Cohesion and Race, Religion and Equalities."

"The benefits and risks to children's wellbeing and learning associated with playing computer games have been highlighted as an area for urgent research by the Byron Review. At the same time, the Children's Plan and Becta's Harnessing Technology strategy have identified the importance of parents and families on children's learning and development. It is therefore important to understand the differing ways in which computer games are played and perceived in family settings, including parents' and children's attitudes towards gaming. It is also necessary to understand the type of games being played by families, and the benefits and concerns. "

"SPECIAL REPORT: THE NEW INTELLIGENT ENTERPRISE Analytics: The New Path to Value (free PDF) November 3, 2010 How the smartest organizations are embedding analytics to transform insights into action Some executives remain overwhelmed by the well-documented "data deluge" - 60% still say they "have more information than we can effectively use." But research now shows that leaders of the smartest organizations have moved past "overwhelmed" and are already capitalizing on increased information richness and analytics to gain measurable competitive advantage. How are they doing it? In what ways are top-performing companies exploiting data that their competitors are not? What pivotal new management practices are emerging as organizations figure out not only how to know more about their businesses, but how to act on those insights from the highest levels of strategy-making to the day-to-day front lines? To answer those questions and more, the MIT Sloan Management Review in collaboration with the IBM Institute for Business Value conducted a global survey of nearly 3,000 executives, as well as in-depth interviews with leading researchers. This MIT Sloan Management Review Special Report is the result."

Screen Casts/Video Casts: Resource Dev & Workflow (to work with flip cameras)... Xilisoft video converter: http://www.xilisoft.com/video-converter.html Get the Ultimate Edition: $ 55.95 (US Dollars) One Converter Person - Save many license fee costs... This video editor does the conversion from Flipcamera to windows movie maker compatible video! Doing it in this way would save the organisation license fees as the converted files could be converted & trimmed in a a free standard video editor that comes with windows. You would then have one person do the conversion and other people the editing. I can help with Video editing to the standard that you see tutorials on youtube... I have done many video edits for technology/software screen casts. We could discuss the screen casting workflow. I will CC Rach in case she also needs to develop similar resources. Kill two birds with one stone!

Hi, Shona came up with the idea of calling the circle used in the workshop - to call it wheel. so I thought it would sound better as "The social media planning wheel". here is a creative license page. we need to think about this more in future to discuss on Tuesday.
