Is It Time to Re{consider}
Social Media?
Social media for work competencies in
Cooperative Extension
How many of you would consider social
media and online presence as:
A necessary work competency for AgriLife
Extension
A critical work competency for AgriLife
Extension
An optional work competency for AgriLife
Extension
At one time, everyone knew the Extension
agents.
Seen as responsive (home & farm visits).
Known as the link to the land grants (research
and undergraduate).
Was one of the few people in the community
with a college degree.
Shared research findings.
What’s different?

Recommendation #1
County Website or Program Website
Good title
Pictures
[shares for social spaces]
Links to resources****
Call to action *****
The Family and Consumer Sciences in Awesome County
Serves to connect citizens with resources and programs that
Contribute to the long-term health of citizens.
The three program areas that I focus on are
1.) Diabetes awareness – over 1 in 4 adults have characteristics
that are precursors to adult onset diabetes.
2.) Obesity – Texas leads the nation in youth and adults who
Are obese. I have several programs that you can get involved with
to
Help manage and move toward a healthy lifestyle
• Be Well Awesome
• Healthy Eating on a Budget
3.) Elder Care – 25% of the population of Awesome county is 65
and older.
Texas Agrilife also provides additional resources through the state
Family and Consumer Sciences website where you’ll find multiple
resources and programs that serve Texas Citizens.
Recommendation #2
Use Facebook Better
FACEBOOK
Playfully Connect
• Theme your weekly posts
• Trivia Tuesday
• Caption this Thursday
• TBT
• Hold informal contests ABOUT your programs
• How many steps a day do you need
• What percentage of children have diabetes
Two FUN things to learn
• Meme’s
• PicMonkey
Meme
Quick Meme
Use Visuals
Learn from Good Examples
• Texas Farm Bureau
• Photo on EVERY post
• Recognize partners
• Ask questions
• Have FUN!
• Texas Parks and Wildlife
• Lots of context
Great Photo Editor
http://picmonkey.com
Recommendation #3
Curate – somewhere somehow
Seeking
• Find resources you use from AgriLife (look at your
desk, front office, bookshelf)
• Find resources from Partners
• Search YouTube for video’s
• Twitter
• Use #topic (#drought #texas)
• Often times MORE to date than Google
1.) Go find all the AgriLife Publications I like to use
2.) Find sites and pubs from partners
3.) Add to resources as they become available
Storify.com
BOARDS
Pins are Organized to Boards
Group Pinboards

Hundreds of things we do in Cooperative Extension
that very few people get to EVER see or do
Share
• Make sure your website is one of your best resources
• You have the MOST control here
• Marketing/SEO is built in to AgriLife’s marketing
• Consider the engagement continuum
• After an event where are the resources you provided?
• Share everywhere
• Post slides to Slideshare
• Post publications to Facebook, Twitter, blog, ect…
• Consider the value of sharing versus hording
