How do You Explain Web 2.0? A New NTEN Project
Flickr Photo: Daniel F PigattoI do my best to keep up with everything you're up to. I read your blog, follow your tweets. So I think I have a sense of what you're dealing with in your jobs (and your kids -- you blog/tweet about your kids a lot). On any given day, if someone asked me what nptech topic you were most concerned with, I would have to say that social media, or Web 2.0, is in the top three.
You are either obsessed with figuring out what it all means, or obsessed with how to explain it to your boss and staff.
If you are obsessed with explaining it all, we need your help. We've started a new project to help aggregate the many amazing social media resources out there and develop a social media training curriculum that anyone in the sector can use. The best part is, we're making it happen in true Web 2.0 style. This is content truly created by and for our sector.
The amazing Beth Kanter is working on this project with us, and we've started work on the very first module for the curriculum: Why Should Nonprofits Embrace Social Media?
How did you pitch a blog, flickr, or twitter to your boss? Is there a metaphor you use to describe social media? Share your experiences with us on the wiki. Everything you share contributes to a richer curriculum we can all use in the future.
