Blogs allow publishing of various media types and discussion. They have grown in popularity since the 1990s. Large blogging platforms make creating blogs easier and allow posting of videos and presentations. Blogs are a free service for communication, expression, and debate that increases information availability. However, content must comply with laws and service guidelines. Effective blogging requires planning, defining the audience and conversation themes, sourcing engaging content types on a calendar, using tools like Storify, building a community through commenting and guest posts, and measuring analytics.
The document summarizes the student's experience in a social media writing course at UCF. They learned how to write concisely and capture images effectively for social media.

This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

20. SOME IDEAS FOR GETTING
STARTED
Web Sites: Web sites are still great, but do cost money to
build, and sometimes maintain. Some web sites are DIY
models, check out Wordpress.com
Blogs: Blogs can be free, or can cost. Consider creating a
blog (on line diary) for your clubs homepage as a way to
share news that might need more words than a “tweet” or
a Facebook Post. Blogs are a form of Social media,
because unlike a web site, people can leave comments
on them.
LinkedIn: Connect with GFWC on LinkedIn and Connect
with each other. Mostly known as a business-oriented
social networking service. www.LinkedIn.com
21. SOME IDEAS FOR GETTING
STARTED
Hootsuite: is a social media management system for businesses
and organizations to collaboratively execute campaigns across
multiple social networks from one secure, web-based dashboard.
Hootsuite allows you to preschedule Tweets and Facebook Posts
for days in advance, for up to 4 accounts FREE. If you handle more
than 4 accounts the costs begin at $9.99 month. (30 day free trial)
This program also provides stats and analytical reports telling you
which posts were viewed and shared the most

Editor's Notes
Please remember not all of your members communicate the same way. Some like printed materials, some are tech savvy, some are not. Know your audience.
The first Socialnomics video was I saw was from 2009, they update it each year, and if you are into stats, the way the numbers change each year is amazing.
What I like about Hootsuite is that you can schedule for Twitter and Facebook through the site.
Carrying the GFWC Tri fold, wearing your membership pin, or a sticker on your car are still great ways to share GFWC with those you come in contact with. Also the Style book can be downloaded at GFWC.org or purchased from the marketplace.
