Editor's Notes
- #10: Framework for thinking about social media strategy steps.
- #11: Presentations which expand upon techniques for Writing for the Social Web include: Ensure online relevancy: Integrating Writing for the Web and the Social Web http://www.slideshare.net/agriffin/ensuring-online-relevancy Content Appraisal Process (Webinar recording): http://www.extension.org/learn/event/172
- #16: Techniques in this portion are also expanded in the following presentations: Social Media Monitoring http://www.slideshare.net/aafromaa/social-media-monitoring-8280300 Who, When, Why, Where of Learning in Social Networks http://www.slideshare.net/kjjeannette/who-whenwhywherelearning-onlinenetworks
- #21: A simple feed/news reader tool, such as Google Reader, can help bring information to you and organize it (into folder) so you can keep up with multiple sources without feeling overwhelmed. Having a news Reader available via a mobile phone can offer a simple way to check out the latest information when you have down time (e.g. waiting inline)
- #22: Variety is something we all crave. Updates or broadcast messages do offer value, but integrate other methods of conversation, story telling, games, polls, or pictures to help use rich contexts for learning and help illuminate different ways to arrive at understanding.
- #23: Simple opportunities for discussion are great ways to break up the monotony of broadcast messages/updates. They help keep interest in your presence, and engage the learner in simple ways.
- #25: There is no rule about whether you should separate your personal/professional accounts, per se, however, one recommendation all could apply is to start participating as yourself so you can understand how people share and communicate within a social network before you represent an entity larger than yourself.
- #35: To expand information on evaluation, see this presentation: Challenges in Evaluating Social Media http://www.slideshare.net/mlambur/2011-ace-netcevaluatingsocialmedia1
- #66: This slide of the 5 steps is meant to provide a framework of how you can start using social media to help people access and discover your content, attract learning opportunities, and integrate different tools and strategies to add value and to draw out resources (i.e. innovative ideas, new insights, learning partnerships) to both F2F and online social networks. As you can see, you can start in any step, often in small ways. Each step can inform the other step. Applying these steps, you constantly monitor and evaluate what works and doesn’t work, and then go back to readjust your writing for the social web, network ties, social tools, or the ways they are integrated together.
