Communication using Social Media
Good Morning and  House Keeping
Collaboratively developed and delivered by
“ Social Media. They get all excited about gleaming technology and clever gizmos. They talk in acronyms and begin sentences with: “Did you know you can..”  The rest of us just want to get on with campaigning, fundraising or service delivery. We want to talk about the people we work with, the communities we’re in and the issues we’re passionate about. We want to find and talk to people who can help us get change, deliver  services or make a difference”.  Well, Social Media is about all that,  telling stories and having conversations, having a space to do that … it just  happens that the space is on a computer.  (From ‘How to use New Media’ - Media Trust).

I asked – “Why does Twitter work for you?”  In less than 7 mins I got 7 replies. Twitter keeps me connected to folks I know & helps connect me to new folks & opportunities - also a serendipity engine Great example - I asked if anyone knew where to find the list of NI7 LAs and the CLG webmaster tweeted back the answer Twitter helps me to be connected with people and new developments, and helps to make new connections too Twitter's introduced me to many other organisations with similar goals that I wouldn't have met, & sharing best practice Twitter helps me build & maintain my professional network Keeps me up to speed with others - via my phone - esp important when out of office To keep track of topics/people of interest and discover new topics and people through the first set of people and topics

Communications and Social Media

  • 2. Good Morning and House Keeping
  • 4. “ Social Media. They get all excited about gleaming technology and clever gizmos. They talk in acronyms and begin sentences with: “Did you know you can..” The rest of us just want to get on with campaigning, fundraising or service delivery. We want to talk about the people we work with, the communities we’re in and the issues we’re passionate about. We want to find and talk to people who can help us get change, deliver services or make a difference”. Well, Social Media is about all that, telling stories and having conversations, having a space to do that … it just happens that the space is on a computer. (From ‘How to use New Media’ - Media Trust).

Twitter keeps me connected to folks I know & helps connect me to new folks & opportunities - also a serendipity engine Great example - I asked if anyone knew where to find the list of NI7 LAs and the CLG webmaster tweeted back the answer Twitter helps me to be connected with people and new developments, and helps to make new connections too Twitter's introduced me to many other organisations with similar goals that I wouldn't have met, & sharing best practice Twitter helps me build & maintain my professional network Keeps me up to speed with others - via my phone - esp important when out of office To keep track of topics/people of interest and discover new topics and people through the first set of people and topics

  1. Fire Bell: State whether a fire bell test or drill is being plane for the day. Loos: Point out the facilities Refreshments: Explain details of tea/coffee and lunch Mobile Phones: ON! For social networking ... But for call please try and restrict use to breaks and lunch time An FUQFlipchart
  2. No thing as a daft question
  3. Nothing more than to signify a difference between the way the Internet has been used since the early 1990s (Web 1.0 or the old web) and how it is being used now (Web 2.0) and the difference between printed traditional media and something newer.
  4. Web 2.0 is a collection of tools, applications and changes in working practice that have enabled people in communities to become more connected, to network with their peers and to collectively campaign as force not possible before. It has enabled supporting organisations develop a new way of working with their members; getting the message to them faster by using new techniques (all the senses not just printed word) and has allowed members to directly comment on and influence the organisations direction. Social Media is a way of using tools and platforms running on the Internet to instantly collaborate, share information and experiences, or have a conversation ideas or causes we care about. It’s a world where anyone can be a publisher, a reporter, an artist, a filmmaker, a photographer or pundit …. even an activist or citizen philanthropist!
  5. See the handout of 52 facts for lots more!
  6. Work through each of the voluntary sector problems relating to social media.
  7. O - Also. What are your organisation goals A – Also. What are your social media goals, who are your audience, where are they? S – Plan how to achieve these – social media guide I – Also. Try out - Implement S - Also. Monitor
  8. &lt;Guide – Benefits Q1 and Q2&gt; Standard Community Development stuff really Get alongside all members of the group Find out what they are trying to achieve, what are the issues they face
  9. Don’t build it and hope people will flock to your new website or social media idea You need to first find out what they want build it show it to them help them to use it then support them afterwards Who are the key players, where do they hang out, are they obvious or do you need to search for them?
  10. Do BETTER Things and Do things BETTER, but not replace the things that you are already doing well! Strategy = Plan = Roadmap. Its just a statement of “we are here”, “we want to be there”, “how can we make it happen”
  11. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, but now you can forget that – what you need to know is that you are able to syndication (or subscribe to) content, news and updates from other peoples websites in a really simple way The site just needs to be able to produce an RSS feed (talk to your web developer) You just need to signup to an RSS reader service (such as Google Reader) and then bring in web feeds by clicking on the orange RSS logo shown here. Over 50 LIOs – NAVCA members have websites that produce RSS feeds. RSS to Email – “Feed My Inbox” An example from the SW ICT Champion who once worked in a local district council post room. “It was my role to read every newspaper and scan for mentions of the council, its work or policies and letters from residents. These were cut out and pasted manually into a file which was then made available for all staff to read.” A similar role should be performed in organisations now but through use of social media tools suce as Google Reader, RSS or Twitter - horizon scanning in a much quicker and easier way to see what is being said and electronically notifying appropriate members of staff.
  12. RSS to Email – “Feed My Inbox” In a similar way to how its possible to ‘horizon-scan’ what others are saying from the other side its possible to publish your news and updates with RSS capabilities so that others can immediately pick-up on your news. Makes the whole connecting to your audience process much easier, quicker and more responsive
  13. At NAVCA used by information and comms team to listen to what LIOs are saying or by individual policy teams to “listen” to those talking about their area of expertise and interest. Google Alerts are another way to instantly receive updates when subjects you are interested in are mentioned.
  14. O - Also. What are your organisation goals A – Also. What are your social media goals, who are your audience, where are they? S – Plan how to achieve these – social media guide I – Also. Try out - Implement S - Also. Monitor
  15. Try them out, ask others, see what similar communities do Remember that these work alongside your existing methods of working with communities What tools are out there, who can show us (e-champions, Digital Mentors, Community Voices), play in the playroom of toys, experiment with the free stuff, see what other communities have done
  16. Invite people to indicate which of these they know and/or have used. Are there any which people don’t know? We will cover each of these in more detail later on
  17. The big four .... The premiership of social networking websites
  18. A separate blog isn’t something NAVCA have tried although we have had blogs for conferences and individual staff do post on navcaboodle blogs. Important to enable (moderated) comments if you are serious about audience feedback
  19. Telford &amp; Wrekin CVS
  20. Facebook – become a fan of .... .... This is an example of an LIO using Facebook to bring together pictures and events and potentially to gain extra supporters who would not have found them otherwise. .... Also heard of a Kids organisation in Herefordshire who needed supporting statements and testimonies for a funding application. They set up a Facebook Group and in just 3 days got 49 statements for the bid from their friends and users of the organisation who were already on Facebook. Important point, as with all social media – don’t establish a presence on Facebook and then tell existing followers (or people you hope to interest) that they must get a Facebook account. This won’t work! Use Facebook (etc.) to connect with people who are already 100% conversant with the platform but who you’d like to target as followers. Also mention Bebo (aimed at a younger age group) and MySpace (very good for musicians)‏ LinkedIn (more professional business use)‏
  21. Another new video – from Doncaster CVS has already been watched 202 times. More relevant for groups and funders in Doncaster wanting to know what the CVS does. These are both quick, low cost and easy to make.
  22. Also used at NAVCA events and conferences – large photo sharing section on navcaboodle All pictures loaded on any Flickr account that are given the same tag will appear together when searched for. Again, has RSS feed so you can be alerted of updates
  23. Low cost and easy to do. Microphone (Rode Podcaster) is £120, but it can be done with an iphone. Software (Audacity) is free.
  24. Tumblr is a very simple way to record onto a preformatted website web pages that you’d like to share with others. This example is a mix of the 50 or so LIOs that have websites producing RSS feeds. After setting up a Tumblr account, as part of Tumblr you get a “button” which is installed on your IE or Firefox toolbar, then whenever an interesting web page is found click the button and a “post” linking back to that page is created on your Tumblr page. Tumblr pages have an RSS feed so others can subscribe to the updates you produce. My Tumblr page of ICT news is http://watfordgap.tumblr.com/
  25. Most modern CMS systems will have an option to create RSS feeds from your website pages. If you don’t have access to the code of the website it should be possible to talk to your web designers / web hosts and get RSS added. If neither is possible then this solution to copy new content to Tumblr pages should give the required result.. Each post getting around 50 views
  26. Sites like this and Twitscoop show what people are saying right now on Twitter across the whole world. Not the news on the TV tonight after it has happened or the news tomorrow in the newspaper but what is important now.
  27. Very important – it is some ones role to keep the network running, the conversations replied to, the content fresh ... so often this gets neglected. Its NOT a case of install and forget Sustain, Monitor, Respond, Improve If you don’t then others will come in and fill your space
  28. O - Also. What are your organisation goals A – Also. What are your social media goals, who are your audience, where are they? S – Plan how to achieve these – social media guide I – Also. Try out - Implement S - Also. Monitor
  29. Increases ... Communication to Action is increased. Messages sent and opinion sought has potential to be highly responsive, if not instant. Widens ... For example a question asked or a website link you mention on Twitter will often be widely circulated (or ReTweeted) outside of your network to people you probably never dreamed would see it. If you campaign has an interesting message people will want to tell each other virally. Sometimes you need to get this message to a particular group of people some times you need to let as many people know as possible. Deepens ... On two levels as conversations are TWO-WAY and with people who WANT TO LISTEN. People have chosen to follow you and you have chosen to follow them. Ready made links.
  30. Generate ... An on-line “buzz” is created and people talk to each other and to you about your organisation or message. Joins ... Contacting key people directly or drumming up a ground swell of support so that one voice becomes many so that voice has more of chance of being heard. Its much easier to find like minded people. Networks still have to be developed, but its much easier to see who your peers are following or to search for your stakeholders and see what they are saying.
  31. Encourage people to take ideas covered so far and link them back to their own development worker roles – which bits did they really feel would be beneficial to organisations? Where are there further learning needs? Which bits did they feel do not apply? General reflections? How does using social media apply during the recession? What advantages can it bring? What disadvantages? This seems very positive, but the decision to deploy a Web 2.0 enhancement on your site should be guided by the same straightforward marketing and communications questions that shape any project that has customers at its heart.
  32. Over 3000 unique visitors (early 2010) Over 40 groups Over 1000 members Many active discussion, pictures, videos Not as powerful or rich in features as the individual elements of social media, but a very effective way to quickly build your own social network with many social media functions. High degree of control over user access to groups and discussions, possible to set up hidden or invitation only groups. Facilities to include pictures, video, audio, chat and file uploads, also many application written available as plug ins. Simple and menu driven, can also use own HTML code and with CSS knowledge design templates and logos to insert. Free version has (targeted) adverts which can be removed for a £20/month fee
