Interested in "working wikily"?
Join me in the WE ARE MEDIA project, hosted by NTEN. The goal of this wiki is to provide a source for strategies and tools in the social media sphere specifically for NONPROFITS.
More info is here.
Here's the mission:
We Are Media is based on the beliefs that:
* With the advent of Web 2.0, more and more nonprofits understand the opportunity of using social media strategies and tools to realize outcomes.
* Nonprofits that want to integrate social media strategies and tool need practical skills, advice, examples, and methods that will improve their effectiveness.
* There are many excellent existing social media guides, articles, resources, checklists, and training materials in the nonprofit sector and beyond. Building the curriculum in a networked way on a wiki and offering it through a creative commons license will allow nonprofit practitioners to share ideas and avoid duplication.
We Are Media will:
* Pull together a wide variety of individuals who will collectively help contribute ideas and pointers to content that is meaningful to the nonprofit leaders and staffers who are charged with integrating social media into their communications strategy
* Provide a hub for the vetted resources, connections, and conversation on this topic.
* Provide access to resources such as articles, tips, checklists, presentations, case studies, and individuals offered by people in the network.
Here's what we've been working on so far:
Module 1 - Why should your non-profit embrace social media? (or not?)
Module 2 - Thinking strategically about social media
You can check out the full outline for the curriculum here. I'm going to post more about this as time goes on, but I'll let you dig around in it first. I hope some of you will join me in contributing to the wiki! It's easy peezy I promise!
