9 pages, Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their uses are often misunderstood. Consumers are regularly unsure what GMOs are, or if they are safe for consumption and the environment. Contradictory and sometimes inaccurate information is available from numerous sources, and challenges consumers and others to separate the facts from sensationalized stories. Agricultural producers often communicate with consumers, neighbors, and members of the general public; however, they do not have information to share about GMOs. Multimedia resources can provide agricultural producers with science-based information to share with consumers. Agricultural communicators and Extension educators can create science-based multimedia resources to bridge the communication gap.

9 pages., Article # 6RIB5, via online journal., Oklahoma Extension educators encountered barriers related to trainings and program delivery for a caregiver education program produced by Oklahoma State University Extension. Oklahoma family and consumer sciences educators were interviewed about perceived barriers to attending trainings and delivering the program. Findings indicated that staff shortages, program prioritization, challenges in developing an audience, and communication issues with the program team made it difficult for educators to engage with the program. Strategies for improvement based on the findings were devised.

http://www.bib.wau.nl/ejae/v1n4-6.html ISSN 1381-2335, Initial difficulties and student dissatisfaction with previous learning opportunities in interpersonal and
transferable skills are described and analyzed. These led to the parallel development of a course with more
innovative content but similar objectives. In particular, the more successful formula places the initiatives in the
hands of student committees, and allows a high degree of learning by practical experience and error. Questions
from student groups before and after the course demonstrate changes in student attitudes and skills which have
been developed. The potential, and limitations, of the course design are discussed in the light of its likely wider
application.
5 pages., Article #: 3TOT6, via online journal., A statewide need for Latino cultural competency training for Utah State University (USU) Extension personnel was identified. The solution involved the collaborative efforts of our team of two USU Extension faculty members and one Washington State University (WSU) Extension faculty member on adaption and customization of a needs assessment tool and a training program originated at WSU. Our collaboration leveraged important limited resources such as subject-matter expertise, training materials, time, and funding while providing a venue for feedback and ideas to improve, update, and enhance an existing program. Garnering administrative support from the start is key to successful cross-state collaborative work and implementation of specialized training to expand Latino outreach capacity in Extension.

Cover title: "4-H learning experiences in communication."; AGRICOLA CAT 90937991, Athens, GA : Cooperative Extension Service, University of Georgia, College of Agriculture, [1985?]. 31 p. : ill., This is a communication project manual for 4-H'ers at the Junior High level. The manual is sub-divided into three sections: communicating with yourself, communicating with others, and communicating with lots of people. In the section of communicating with yourself, attention is given to self examination of ideas and problems that enhance or hinder communication. An exercise included is creating a collage of self-expression. On communication with others most information involves one-on-one communication and interaction. The key concept conveyed is the importance of feedback between people via verbal and body responses. One activity includes you and a friend listing common activities, interests, etc. Another suggestion is to learn a foreign language. With regards to communication via broadcast media and print media in news and advertisements. One suggestion for communication with posterity is the creation of a time capsule to be opened at a later date. (original)
Supports training of agriculture students in news-writing, and argues that they also should be trained in public speaking. Also: "it would seem that agricultural students should by all means know or learn how to make a living with their hands on land before they take up news-writing and public speaking. Our national literacy of the head is far greater than our literacy of the human hand. We cannot take much of a hand in nation-building from the ground up unless we have trained hands, even in this machine age."
