The document provides tips for designing donor events that will impress and inspire guests. It recommends balancing tradition with innovation, wowing attendees from the start, engaging them emotionally, and leaving them wanting more. Rather than long programs or unnecessary gifts, donors prefer access, information, and engagement. First impressions are important, so focus on technology, food, audiovisuals, and special experiences. Follow up after the event with customized thank you gifts to maintain the relationship. Current trends include receptions over dinners, classic cocktails, sustainable centerpieces, and storytelling through video.
This was given at Internet World on April 28th 2010 - to show companies how they can learn from the charities who have embraced social media and put digital at the core of their organisation.
The document provides an overview of the 2003 Schools Workshop and guidance for auditing schools for the 2002-2003 fiscal year. Key points included changes to financial reporting requirements to comply with GASB 34, evaluating fundraising activities and the use of restricted funds, ensuring proper treatment of I-728 moneys, and current hot topics like the authority of districts to conduct general fund fundraising and the applicability of competitive bidding requirements. Auditors were instructed to focus on areas like enrollment trends, financial condition indicators, and the proper categorization of fund balance reserves and designations.
The document describes how an Extension news unit transformed its news operations by partnering with a university journalism program to have students write news stories. This allowed the unit to increase its output from 216 stories in 2013 to 323 stories in 2015 with only 2 full-time staff members. The student-written stories received over 92,000 visits and 133,000 page views to the new ExtensionDaily.com website. Other outlets also began regularly using and sharing the stories. The partnership transformed the news unit's operations and significantly increased its story output and readership.

This document describes research on optimizing the design of a natural laminar airfoil using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The goal was to minimize drag for a symmetric airfoil and maximize endurance by increasing lift for a cambered airfoil. CFD analysis using a k-ω SST transitional model was validated. An optimization framework using gradient-based algorithms and NURBS shape functions was developed to modify 10 control points defining the airfoil. For the symmetric airfoil, optimizing delayed the transition point towards the trailing edge, reducing drag. For the cambered airfoil, optimizing increased the pressure coefficient area to boost lift within the lift constraint. Reasonable designs were achieved but further improvements to the CFD
This talk will cover the basics of Universal Design for Learning and show how applying principles of UDL to the design of electronic books can transform plain text documents into learning tools. We will show a examples from CAST’s digital learning environments and compare to current trends in eBook interface design.
The document discusses findings from AVG's Digital Diaries study on the effect of technology on childhood. Some key findings include:
- 78% of parents report their children use the internet for less than 5 hours a week, but this is likely an underestimate as internet access is ubiquitous.
- 46% of children aged 6-9 use virtual worlds designed for kids, while 16% have Facebook accounts, which is surprising for their age.
- Parents need to thoughtfully consider their role in balancing screen time with other activities and priorities for their children's development.

It discusses generating discussion to build and leverage networks, share experiences in the TechWomen program, and deal with information overload. Specific tips include using privacy settings on social networks like Facebook, being careful about sharing location data, thinking before posting, having a connecting policy on LinkedIn, and managing attention on social media through self-knowledge and small habit changes.
Twitter is an online social networking and microblogging service that allows users to post short messages called tweets that are limited to 140 characters. It was created in 2006 and currently has over 175 million users who post around 800,000 tweets per day. Users can follow other users and companies to receive their tweets and can also mention or reply to other users by adding the @ symbol before their username. While some research has found that social media like Twitter can help facilitate both weak and strong social relationships both online and offline, it also has the potential to negatively impact real-world social skills if overused in place of in-person interactions. The overall effects of Twitter on social relationships depends on how each individual user engages with the platform.

2. What do you do when
you go to the pool?
Lounge far away from the water.
You really just want to be seen.
Sit on the pool edge.
You may need to splash some water on your legs.
Jump in!
You want to take advantage of every moment.
3. Why are people reluctant to jump in?
It’s a fad that will go away
It’s not used by my clients
It cannot be used to build or maintain relationships
I don’t have time
I don’t want to learn
I don’t want to be that connected
I think face to face is better

Editor's Notes
We all have a pool style. In real world I’m more of the middle option. I am just not a crazy wild about water person. But I am all in when it comes to social media.If we are talking the social media pool---there are drawbacks to the first two options.Lounge far away---that’s the equivalent to me of a blog or a Facebook page that hasn’t been updated in forever. Think about it. I bet each of you could give one or two examples right now without any problem. But when someone asks you can assure them you have a social media presenceSit on the pool edge. To me this is the institutional account, that is automated or just used to broadcast headlines or announcements. Yeah you are using the tool, but it’s like saying you are using a Macbook Pro only for the calculator. Jump in! It’s really the only way in my opinion to get the most of the social media world.
Why are people reluctant to jump in? Thoughts from Anne Adrian’s Social Media 101 workshop at PLNSocial Media is a fad nothing worthwhile for kids not used by my clients ruining literacy, newspapers, ability to communicate with others, work ethics among the young (fill in the bland with “the problem with society is....”) cannot be used to build and maintain relationships (another way of saying relationships online are not real) Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube (only) is used for evil (immoral beliefs and actions, terrorists, etc.)“My” (after let’s make it all about you) reluctance to use social media I don’t have time My clients don’t use social media I am too old to learn something new I don’t want to be “that” connected If I learn how to use (name the tool) it will change soon I think face to face interactions are better I am afraid of privacy issuesMove forward using social media as an educational tool (which is different goal than with purely marketing goals)
Luckily mine didn’t want proof first and was willing to support an initial effort. But the good news—I could prove my social media work was paying off. How? Evaluating Backyard Wisdom website metrics.
Not a full year—just ten monthsVisits to any part of the Backyard Wisdom Website. Visits averaged over 10 months not entire year
2012 numbers as of Dec. 312990 downloads in 2012 but that doesn’t include podcast downloads from AU iTunes5807 downloads in 2011 skewed by downloads of tree poisoning podcasts(4400)1442 downloads in 2010
2012 numbers as of Sept 20
2012 numbers as of Sept 20Wireless visits continue to expand. Expect in 2012 to grow by more than 5 times this year over last year.
So you have decided to take the plunge! Great---there are some rules of the pool that will help you succeed.
Line up a colleague who can hold your hand—offer advice, tips, get you started on the right footTry one social media network/effort at a time. Facebook seems less threatening to many folks—I started with twitter. As your comfort level increases, add another app/outlet to your repertoire. Not everything that works well for a friend of colleague will work for you. Began with a blog and uploading podcasts to web & iTunesU. I started with twitter, added facebook, added pinterest, using Google+ and rebelmouse now.Each app/network has its own set of conventions—nothing annoys veterans of some social media type than newbies who don’t bother to learn the rulesUse search functions/#hashtags to find folks with similar interests to talk with. Follow your Extension colleagues. Ask them for recommendations Join in the conversation---look for people to talk with. Listen first—share content—80-20 ruleMake friends—build relationships---relationships help you expand your reachTools like hootsuite, buffer, RSSgraffiti can make life easier apps on all the devices you use. May be different apps depending on device
Some possible goals in using social media.Let’s start with YOU (it is in the beginning all about you). 1. I will use social media to improve my own professional and personal development. 2. I will use social media to listen to others and I will be open and tolerant of many views and communicating. 3. I will use social media to collaborate with others (colleagues and local partners). 4. I will use social media to bridge and maintain relationships with my current (local) clients. 5. I will use social media to listen to and engage in clientele I might not normally engage with. Organizational/content goals 1. Increase traffice to website 2. Increase participation in programs and workshops 3. Improve feedback from clients 4. Reach new audiencesNumber of ways to look at effectiveness On personal goals---it’s really a qualitative type of analysis. You are going to have to sit down and review who you have talked with and what you have done. Did you get ideas for a program or article from a conversation on social media? Did you meet new colleagues and expand professional relationships? Did you find that you had a new venue to talk with clients and did actually talk with clients more? Hosted twitterchats? Written guest blog posts?Organizational/content goals should be very much a quantitative measurementOur website uses webtrends—could use Google analytics—use Facebook analytics.
