This site is to become a resource for others and a space to contribute for a workshop at the UK Circuit Riders Conference 2008.
Our collaborative session on social media 'Naked in a Goldfish Bowl - Web 2.0 in a Nonprofit World' is being delivered jointly by David Wilcox, Laura Whitehead and Nick Booth. See the about page for more information.
Today, I used Oovoo for the first time to chat to Beth Kanter, based in Boston about her participation in our session taking place this Thursday. Oovoo is amazingly simple to use and see the picture about for a snapshot of what it looked like when speaking to each other. We hope to be using Oovoo in the session or Skype so that Beth can join in with David, Nick and myself to share her experiences with social media and nonprofits.
For me this year’s Circuit Rider conference will be a great opportunity to take forward some of the discussions we had at last year’s event - and again get the benefit of working with a front-line expert.
Last year I had the chance to run a workshop with the amazing US-based blogger Beth Kanter, which included her knock-out presentation on social media, and the first run of the social media game. Reports are available on the social media wiki, together some other guidance we’ll be updating there and on this blog.
More later on how we are planning the game - meanwhile here’s Beth’s slides from last year. I hope Beth may be able to join us virtually. I already know it is going to be a lot of fun developing this year’s workshop with Laura Whitehead. However good the Net, there’s something about being in the same country, sharing the same issues …. and running to catch up with yet another highly productive collaborator! Beth, Laura - how do you manage to do so much good stuff?
