Brad Ward's (Blue Fuego) presentation at NACAC 2009: http://bluefuego.com/index.php/nacac-2009/

 

 

 

"Everyone is my potential teacher. Do we think about ourselves as the people students can learn FROM? Or the people who they can learn WITH? That's a shift that needs to happen. And we have to figure out a way to enable our students to connect. The rewards SO far outweigh the risks." ~ Will Richardson

Chris Brogan:

http://www.edsocialmedia.com/2010/09/7-questions-with-brogan-chris-brogan/

"I visited a charter school recently where they’re raising salmon from eggs, and doing so with a sister school in Ireland over skype. That one little exercise got me excited enough to think about my kid attending that school instead of public. With one little YouTube video showing that experiment off, I’d imagine hundreds more potential applicants. Why wouldn’t you share content that shows off how excellent your school is? It’s much better than an ad."

The key to social success is knowing WHO your audience is and HOW to build an effective relationship with them.

Some companies may utilize social media as a way to build an email list of prospective customers, while others may wish to use it as a way to brand their company as a thought leader in the marketplace.

 

http://23ca.wordpress.com/2011/11/09/would-you-follow-your-own-firms-social-media-site/

Your social media presence is a living, growing organism.  If you feed it with the right food and nurture it … it will give great rewards and satisfaction.

Think about how you can create mass collaboration and become a social organization.

"One question" videos...

What was the hardest thing you tackled this year?

What is the thing you'll miss most about RPS?

What did your counselor help you with?

What are you proud of about your year this year?

What are you looking forward to this year?

If you could design the perfect course, what would that look like?

What has been your favorite moment as a learner so far this year?

CauseVox's (Rob Wu) framework:

  • Clear – Describe the campaign clearly and call out the action you want the audience to take, if any.
  • One Idea – Distill your program and mission into one idea that is easily remembered.
  • Metrics – Include metrics to appeal to the quantitative and analytical sides. Show days, amounts, and trends.
  • Personal – Help the audience connect to your constituents or yourself. Have a personality. You don’t need a professionally created video.
  • Emotive – Make the content emotive to help the reader relate and see the importance of your campaign.
  • Latch – Use mixed media to capture audiences. Video is the richest form of online communication. Your story is important; it is also unlike any others. Use it to compel others to join your cause.
