I think your example and Makino's video both show innovative way in learning.For example, using facebook and both to promote Confucius ideas.

Hi Jack,
Thank you for sharing your experience about the Confucius Carnival 2012. So having a meeting in a very systematic and efficient way and making the best use of every second are the things that you've learnt from the event? Besides I'm a little confused about the organizational learning you want to offer. DId you talk about your organization Hong Kong University Graduate Association learned from the Wan Chai District Council ?

Cissy said:
Hi Jack,
Confucius is a representative of Chinese traditional culture, and the activities in your organization is indeed provides people a innovative learning. As your mentioned in your post,"they made best use of every second" , is that means time management is important in your organization?

Cissy said:
Hi Makino,
I can understand the difficulties and challenges of schools in mainland China in the process of becoming learning organizations. The real change of education model are mainly decided by the policy of China government.

Makino said:
Hi Vanice:
Thank you for sharing how your organization learns. You have talked about the training and sessions about the importance of safety workplace and you told in 3 levels. After reading, I think the personal level is about learning and the other 2 are about discussion. So why don't your organization combine the 2 level together? And what's role does your management play in this organizational learning? Thank you!!!

Makino said:
Hi Cissy,
Thank you for sharing your work experience in Global Education Hangzhou.You mentioned that teacher training and organization training are two component parts of organization learning. But in my opinion, teacher training is a part of organization training.

Cissy said:
Hi, Makino.
In my post, teacher training is mainly focus on teaching and pedagogy, and organization training is about how to run the branch schools better. And these two are different aspects.

Makino said:
Hi Milky,
Good job! I have get a better understand about the 5 parts of the organizational learning. But I'm a little confused about your organization. What is the organization you want to describe? And it seems like that you talked about things that must be done but can you give some details about what your organization have done in the 5 areas? Thank you!!

Milky said:
Actually when I wrote this paper I just imagined on organization that if I were in, so sorry about it that I can not give you some more details about this because even I said, it also was part of my imagination but not the reality happened in a real organization, maybe I could chat with you when I got a job in the future.

Cissy said:
Hi Milky,
There are many sentences in your post cited the truth of learning, especially this one "Help in the field, sensitive and eager to learn, are our best teachers, that success is not any shortcut you can go, instead of pains takingly personal gain how opportunistic, evasive, and not as a little bit of their own inadequacies to improve, and ultimately improve." Although I am confused about the content your mentioned with the subtitle "team learning" and " system thinking", I see the explanation you has already given to Makino, and I know this post is based on your imagination. So let's do more efforts and use the learning content in our future organization.

Ricky said:
Hi Vanice,
In your article you mentioned about the system thinking by segmentation of complex ideas. But what do you think can the ideas from different channels be treated, and do you think sometimes there may come to a conflict of ideas?

Vanice said:
Hi, Ricky
I think different ideas/ problems must be raised if the decision making process involve discussion. What we have to do is encourage people express their ideas without pressure and combine all the ideas into the best solutions.

Milky said:
HIVanice
in the Peter Senge's five discipline, which do you think is the most important factor in organization learning?

Vanice said:
Hi Milky,
I think team learning is most important discipline as we all know no man is an island. For example, I share my ideas, discuss with my boss and formulate the best way to complete my task. We are lack of manpower last year and no one can handle the elearning technical problem. I reflect this to my boss and he hires one more staff after evaluation. Other staffs appreciate his dicision as they can approach a specific staffs to enquire elearning problem. 

Makino said:
HIVanice
Thank you for your suggestion. I agree with you that team learning is not only using same set of learning materials but also includes discussion and sharing of ideas and combine and/or modify these ideas into a new one. So I think my organization is just in the very basic level of the organizational learning and much effort must be done be better.

Cissy said:
Hi Vanice,
I think your definition of team learning is a good one. And I have different opinions of the part "combine and/or modify these ideas into a new one", I think the part belongs to system thinking.
