What Does It Take to Implement Change Successfully? A Study of the Behaviors of Successful Change Leaders

A qualitative empirical study of change leader behaviors based on interviews with leaders from 33 organizations is presented. Analyses of the data indicated that leader-centric behaviors have an adverse impact on change implementation. In contrast, behaviors that may be described as being more facilitating and engaging are positively related to change success.

How Educators Are Using Learnist. Digital Tools By Jennifer Roland In the weeks since Learnist launched, educators have been finding ways to put it to use.

How Educators Are Using Learnist

Learnist, as many have already pointed out, works much like Pinterest — a way to catalog online resources on a topic and share them with the user’s social network. And like Pinterest, it looks like a digital bulletin board with pictures and messages, and connects with Facebook accounts. In fact, the site’s “learning boards” look quite a bit like Facebook’s timeline feature, and Facebook membership is required to use Learnist at this point. In its current closed beta form, Learnist, launched by Grockit, is still very much in its infancy, but some curious teachers have already jumped on the wagon. College physics instructor Leilah McCarthy created collections on subjects like electromagnetism, mechanics, and waves.

Students can also use Learnist to share resources for group projects, to prepare notes to study for tests and write papers. Related. Pocket (Formerly Read It Later) Personal Learning Environment.
