Basic Idea Vara Ung Entreprenör

The purpose of combining Vara Lyftet and Rucola is to create a structured learning for young people in social media. Young people are already using social media as an arena but perhaps not for formal learning. Another aim is to put together the best information on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs on the Internet with young people and the arena for this will be social media.

Tools Vara Ung Entreprenör

When we began the project in October 2010, we planned to use multiple social media such as: Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Calendar, Google Groups, Google Sites and Blogger. It realised, after some testing, that Blogger was the best tool for our purpose and that it was better to use one tool than many. Right now we use Blogger and Facebook. We also use Google Calendar and Google Documents.

The basic idea of a Manual

The idea to produce a Manual is to provide hands-on guidance to anyone who would like to introduce social media as means to support learning. Geographical or maybe social ones could be the reason why someone would choose an Internet based solution in the first place, but may not be the only reasons. Sometimes learning is more fun this way even if you sit next to your chum... :-)

Anyway, the Manual is meant to be practical and straight-forward. This is what we did; this worked; this didn't work as well as we had hoped...

Ok?

The backbone of the Manual as agreed in Akureyri is in place in Google Docs; for us to suggest changes in. Maybe a little early right now, but not for long as Rucola is now on the prowl! :-)

Good luck to us!
