Course Description:
Join us to learn the basics of blogs, RSS (really simple syndication) feeds, and social networking tools such as Twitter and Facebook. You will learn how several nonprofits are using social media tools and how to decide which tools make the most sense for your organization. We will also show you how to get started with your own accounts.
We'll also discuss how social media tools change the roles of staff and volunteers. And you'll learn where social media might best be integrated into your organization. Most importantly, you'll leave with a basic framework needed to identify how social media fits into your overall communication plan.
