I challenge all educators who are playing Evoke to network with other teachers and find a class with which to network and collaborate on some kind of project that can help foster global awareness and the kinds of behaviors that Evoke is trying to cultivate.<br/>

When I look at all that has happened in the past 5 weeks, it's been a lot. I'm "behind" myself still working on water security and some food and energy projects in my neighborhood. I took a trip this past week to South Africa and had good conversations about social innovation, the economy, health care, and all the global problems facing the world today.<br/><br/>I've also been reading development economists who argue over whether it's best to do targeted interventions that solve one problem (i.e. randomized trials in development work) or a holistic approach (Millennium Villages, for instance). Some economists have felt that if you just raise a country's GDP and help them economically that all other areas--public health, food security, water security, etc.--improve. But that has not proven to be true in some cases at least in the short term.<br/><br/>I'm very interested, therefore in ideas and evokations that address all 5 or 4 out of the 5 of the past missions: energy security, water security, food security, money, and social innovation. There are natural interrelations between ideas that help water security and those that help food security since agriculture is the main use of our accessible freshwater supplies in the world. But I'm looking for ideas that are even more holistic. Are there any evoked ideas or plans out there that address all or most of the past mission themes? Are there even any ideas or plans that address all or most of the past and FUTURE missions as well (poverty, violence, health, etc.)? Are there any such ideas that would like to collaborate and work together in presenting an evokation?<br/><br/>Send them NOW, and let's move in an opportunity to evoke, affect, and impact for good.<br/>That's a CHALLENGE!<br/> Challenge: Build TRUST for strong reputation networkstag:www.urgentevoke.com,2010-03-31:4871302:Topic:748642010-03-31T17:59:14.463ZEvohttp://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/Evo
Over the next 6 weeks we have a rare opportunity to work closely with people around the world who we may never meet. Then again, we may find that our evokations take us to other corners of the globe to places where we will need to rely on each other for survival. This network we are weaving here will mean life or death for many in our extended circles and it is important enough that we take this role we share seriously as we grow into this work together.<div><br></br></div>

Over the next 6 weeks we have a rare opportunity to work closely with people around the world who we may never meet. Then again, we may find that our evokations take us to other corners of the globe to places where we will need to rely on each other for survival. This network we are weaving here will mean life or death for many in our extended circles and it is important enough that we take this role we share seriously as we grow into this work together.<div><br/></div>
<div>To work together we must first know that we can trust one another. Trust is a very difficult thing to pin down and know when working virtually through words, videos and photos. While video and skype and other remote conferencing tools provide some sense of what the other is like it is still rare for us to truly connect and form a kinship of respect with others in digital space. We may make friends here but few of those friendships will really stick around long term. The bonds that will last will be forged over our evokations and long term endeavors where we choose to partner together to build more than we can do alone.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>How do we build partnerships based on trust and respect? First we LISTEN. We hear where others are, what's going on for them and what their struggles are in the current situation. We offer what resources we can but do not force our will on others -- we work gently and with compassion for the great journey that others have taken to be at this place with us.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>My question to you is: how do you build trust in these networks? How can you express to others that you are a trustworthy person who will get the job done and be dependable in times of extreme stress and crisis?</div> calling all teachers!tag:www.urgentevoke.com,2010-03-06:4871302:Topic:182042010-03-06T01:11:05.204Zninmahhttp://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/ninmah

<span style="font-weight: bold;">=====Breaking News======</span><br/><br/> There are now 8 teacher projects, and we're starting to make tracks. Come sign up for one -- see <a href="http://urgentevoke.wikia.com/wiki/Calling_All_Teachers">the wiki</a> for details! <br/><br/>=====================<br/><br/>There have been many posts in other threads about getting a group of teachers together here on EVOKE. I'd like to pull us together. Here's my suggestion:<br/><br/>1. In this thread, post who you are and what you teach -- or, if you're a teacher-type but not actually a teacher, like me, tell us what you do. Tell us also where you're from!<br/><br/>2. Check out the <a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AfJ0U5QmxNOdZGY4Nms4djhfNjFnaHQ4ZzdnYw&hl=en">google doc</a> that <a href="http://www.urgentevoke.com/forum/topic/listForContributor?user=0k21m6waelahz">happyseaurcin</a> started -- it has ideas about how to engage teachers in EVOKE.<br/><br/>3. Take a look at the wiki (<a href="http://urgentevoke.wikia.com/">http://urgentevoke.wikia.com/</a>) and visit the Calling All Teachers page. Add your name (and a link back to your EVOKE profile, if you like) if you'd like to collaborate. If you have an idea for a project, add it to the brainstorming section.<br/><br/>Let's see if we can get traction over the next couple of weeks and maybe pick an idea or two to develop more fully!<br/><br/>** Posted in grateful acknowledgment of everyone who added comments to the collaboration page, with hopes that this thread makes it easier for us to find each other. **<br/>
