Via Michael Guhlin I’m playing with some tools to find creative commons images for use in things like blogposts, slide shows, etc. So two tools, two approaches, both useful, but the choice depends on what you are looking for. There are fabulous images out there, waiting to help us communicate better and add beauty to the world, so go out and get them, and thanks to all the photographers who are sharing their images with license I thought I’d give Sprixi and FlickrCC.Bluemountains.net –by Peter Shanks, a new year’s test drive.

Share your files and images through just one site without ever having to worry about disk space, hosting, or bandwidth again. ...Tags: Tags: cp2tech02 tool utilitie

Funny enough, that has been like that for quite a while, having gotten started around 2001, when I was first getting exposed to Knowledge Management (KM or Knowledge Sharing, whatever you would prefer) as time and time again I kept bumping into multiple knowledge managers wanting to define it. Steve Barth ventured, earlier on this year, into putting some very thought-provoking arguments on the need for one, after all, and he shares his favourite one : " Most of the folks out there who know me, and have been following this blog for a while, have probably realised by now how much I dislike definitions, and putting labels on things, in general.

tools out there on the Internet, but I must admit that some times it drives me just nuts! Not sure up to what point it becomes frustration, but time and time again it amazes me that we are putting to waste such great potential with this micro-blogging / micro-sharing tool. So when Bill Ives just recently questioned whether you could make use of Twitter as a Personal Knowledge Management tool I couldn’t help but wonder myself whether I am using it as well as my PKM tool of I have been using Twitter now for over two and a half years and, all along, if you have been following some of my recent twitterings , you would know how I seem to keep having a love / hate relationship with it.

We concluded that what councils need in order to share so-called “best practice” is not more consultancy, reports and databases, but video clips, conversations, and encouragement to tell bad stories as well a good. The event was organised by Steve Dale , who works with IDeA on improving how our councils operate - in his case by developing communities of practice for knowledge sharing, with Michael Norton, as I reported here . Last week I spent half a day in a workshop on local government knowledge management. Boring waste of time?

The tool: del.icio.us Del.icio.us is an online tool. Its potential is described in just 3 words on the website : keep, share and discover. Information on the internet can be collected, shared and discovered online with this social bookmarking tool. is online, so you need an internet connection, and it is free of charge. All the information stored on del.icio.us is public, so everybody can see and search all the collected bookmarks of other people. What can you do with del.icio.us?

wanted to share some of them, and find out what you use and how. Patrick Lambe and the folks at Straitsknowledge created a deck of cards to introduce people to knowledge management and knowledge sharing methods. the frotn of the card has a little drawing, and the backs give an overview of either a method, approach or tool. I love things you can touch and play with when facilitating face to face. This is probably why I was so attracted to the “drawing on walls” involved in graphic facilitation , kinesthetic modeling and just plain PLAY as a way to work together.

For this post, community is defined as a group of people with bounded membership who have some shared, congruent interest and interact with each other over time. Social networks, particularly those made possible through online tools, are changing how we learn and work.  It is augmented with tools such as social network analysis and other tools that help us “see” networks visually, as it is hard to It has become clear. I’m long-winded on the topic of new skills for knowledge workers and learning professionals, even if I don’t quite understand
