Assisting with connecting with digital engagement and professional development strategies with project teams.
Selected projects work with the Extension Foundation “Key Informant Services” to enhance, expand, and accelerate the projects. Extension Foundation Key Informant Services include the following: ❏ Program Design and Educational Technology encourages projects to share their processes and products via Connect.Extension.org. Professional development is about a learning process for the projects and CES where Fellows work through digital and online methods to network and share their newly developed content and processes. If a team’s project calls for producing events such as a conference, we can also help with objective and agenda creation. If a team’s project is developing a curriculum (especially an online curriculum), we can also consult on adult learning theory and instructional design. ❏ Molly Immendorf, WI serves as lead. ❏ Digital Engagement and Publishing support for digital learning and instruction used by the project is needed and also for Extension professionals to share the process and learnings which are expected to be shared digitally from each project. Each project is expected to use Connect Extension. The Digital Engagement KI service helps teams use technology tools and strategies to engage, inform, deepen learning, and increase connections. Specific advice around successful ways to engage peers virtually may include developing engagement objectives and outcomes and then matching educational technology tools and techniques to achieve those outcomes. Example tools include Connect Extension Virtual Chats, using Zoom tools effectively, and using third-party engagement tools (Mentimeter, Quizizz, Google Suite, Mural, etc.) ❏ Ashley Griffin, KY; Rose Hayden-Smith, CA; and Heather Martin serve as leads. ❏ Leadership and Leadership Development support and training for adaptation to a digital environment is provided (helping Fellows be leaders in a digital environment) as well as team building for each project is a part of this support system. Leadership learning and team building are embedded in many of the NTAE projects. ❏ Helps combine the ability of self-awareness with social awareness to think and act strategically. ❏ Supports a healthy environment as it relates to interactions between individuals and teams inside the system in which they operate. ❏ Assists individuals and teams with challenging environments defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.
