How's it Done? MI SA Conference WorkshopLaDonna Coy
This deck is from a conference workshop at the Michigan Substance Abuse Conference (09) where we explored stories about how social media is being done in different but related types of organizations. Examples include, The American Red Cross, CADCA, and Northwest Kansas Regional Prevention Center. Handout http://technologyinprevention.wikispaces.com/file/view/MIHandout.doc
This segment is only a small part of a larger workshop in which coalitions consider who they are, where they are and what kinds of communications needs they have before selecting tools.
This workshop was part of the Social Media Tract for Coalitions at CADCA's Mid Year Training Institute, July 2011.

Think Link: Network Insights with No Programming SkillsMarc Smith
Networks are everywhere, but the tools for end users to access, analyze, visualize and share insights into connected structures have been absent. NodeXL, the network overview discovery and exploration add-in for Excel makes network analysis as easy as making a pie chart.
Twitter as Scholarship: How Not To Get Fired (Much)Bonnie Stewart
How can scholars and academics find use and value in the fraught networked public sphere that Twitter embodies? This presentation - a public talk delivered at La Trobe University in Melbourne Australia, October 2016 - explores both the benefits and risks of Twitter, and examines its operations at the intersection of orality and literacy.
Social Media: Are you maximising its potential? #AHEIAJoyce Seitzinger
Invited Speaker presentation at the Australian Higher Educational Industrial Association (AHEIA) conference in Sydney, 17 May 2013.
This audience consisted mainly of HR managers in higher education organisations, so I aimed to show the rise of the networked academic and the advantages of networked practices by employees, and ask them if/how the organisation's policies enable or support those networked practitioners.
This workshop will help administrators of the John E. Fogarty Internal Center's AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) explore options for using social media to connect to program alumni. Farra Trompeter will provide an overview of ways organizations use online communications to keep audiences engaged around the world, and will discuss ways to connect with fellows to strengthen future research collaborations that address global health needs.
In the ever-changing settlement landscape, there is a pressing need to innovate and find creative solutions for our participants. There is a body of research that suggests innovation comes from increasing network connections. Individual, organizational and societal success emerges from diversity in our networks and relations beyond our organizational, geographical, and sector boundaries. Integration Summits, conferences, member meeting are held across the country but are often too few and far between. Connecting through social media facilitates connection with colleagues during those in-between times (and adds a little fun to it as well).
In this workshop, MEALO and MIRSSA are combining efforts to offer language and settlement professionals increased opportunity to connect via Web 2.0 tools, using a practical and hands-on approach. The Building Community with Social Media workshop is framed for the connection of leaders in language and settlement organizations.
The workshop will outline positive effects of expanding networks. Participants will be introduced to several types of Web 2.0 tools used to connect with language and settlement professionals: social bookmarking, (micro) blogging, and social/professional/learning networks. The workshop will end with considerations of individual vs organizational online presence.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

45 minute session, coming after understanding the digital world, and how to get the website you want & need… to be followed by practical projects and ideas you can use… Role, years online, etc..
Prayers appreciated as this is due at end of this month … covers a lot of digital culture, designed to take the fear out of using it – seen as the biggest sticking point for most…
So, Kevin’s been talking about digital culture … we’ve been seeing that the more we can understand the culture, the more that we can engage with it….Far too many times when people talk about social media, they focus on the word ‘media’ (or technology), rather than the word ‘social’ which is surely what we should be focusing on … we are looking to build relationships, which require good communication (don’t default to getting “the IT Guy” doing your social media … you need someone who is good at comms…)….
Within the church we need to think about how we engage more - this is the model many churches have now… (as a educational developer, I note that many teachers do this too….)
Can we move towards something more like this – what does this mean for church leaders, especially you as youth leaders…?
Be fresh, be honest, be creative, give God the glory.. 3 minutes
When we talk about “social media” remember that we are talking about something that is made up of a range of tools … each with a unique way of working – so in this session we want to look in particular at a couple of core social media tools – Twitter and Facebook, with a nod to Pinterest. The other tools to be particularly aware of are YouTube, blogging and mobile apps… .. If you want to know more – download this 6-7 page document I try to keep updated.. , and you’ll see different tools are use for different things!
30 seconds with someone you don’t know – look for something (other than Christian) in common… (Tweet = 140 characters, so get it across quickly, etc.) This is essentially how Twitter works.
Lots of people have this response to Twitter, but it’s got a growing user base … a couple of years ago had about 100 million active users, now nearly 300 million… http://www.landingnet.co.uk/blog/the-truth-about-all-this-twitter-ing-twoddle/
Celebrity culture – be aware that power structures from “offline” (note online/offline) also work online – e.g. you’ll trust something from the BBC more than from someone’s blog… so need to build up credibility…
Straightforward…
e.g. creative use…
e.g. creative use – how built offline story around it, then went back online
Phil… summarised entire Bible in around 9000 characters… makes you think about what it’s really about.
Has become incredibly “normal” since many TV programmes give out hashtags – don’t even have to watch BBCQT these days… but perversely I’m more likely to!
More humourous – but makes such a nice change from “dour” impression of Christians
Explain send one small message and cascades out .. Message gets bigger with each RT – I have 5k followers, someone with 30k RTs – they are saying message is worth listening to .. And all their audience may see it too.
ModeratedRetweet (esp to make it shorter), and Hat-Tip … all about collaboration, acknowledging the source, etc…
Who is going to do this? When aka “how often” (twice a month = lost)? What content is worth sharing – each tweet doesn’t need to be a mini “War & Peace” but also let’s not have too many breakfast tweets…
Great tool (others might use Tweetdeck) – allows you to preset tweets, across accounts – free up to 5 accounts!
Another worksheet…
Here’s some help…
Don’t forget that it’s all PUBLIC! Original image sxc.hu
POST IT NOTES OR FLIPCHART?Integrity (own comments “I feel, etc.)Self-control (consider consequences of interpretation – inc revisited later) Patience (expectations for response times)Authenticity (consistent to “you”)Trust (information can be out there, don’t speak on others behalf unless permission)Non-manipulative (audience aware, do someone down, bad spin; “If you love Jesus share this”)Respect (encounter different opinions – think through reactions); Good Manners; not ‘entitled’ to respect – respect others first.. Treat as you expect to be treated“Freedom of Speech” – think carefully; LibelSelf-awareness – context; read differently – can you “hear” tone of voiceDon’t press “send” in anger …Kindness – encourage online, messages of supportTransparency – do we know the source of all this… Aliases? Who’s saying what? Accountability. Who are they?
The core one for me is “authenticity” - come to know yourself, what gifts and passions God has given you, and look to live those out authentically & with integrity online… what I call a ‘digital fingerprint’ – you were made to be unique, so be unique … and look for others to engage with in that area…
What about Facebook … incredibly busy site .. Noting that biggest number of new signups in past year have been Grandmother’s wanting to look at grandkid’s photos…
It’s not uncommon for a pastor to live in an entirely different neighborhood or community than the people in their church. So, if there’s little opportunity for face-to-face interaction throughout the week, it’s only natural for pastor(al team) to find ways to immerse themselves in the online communities that their congregation is spending so much time in. Zuckerberg – community
.. And this ties into an increasingly ‘visual turn’ online – particularly with the advent of Pinterest which gained popularity at the beginning of 2012 – with people sharing inspiring pictures (and the picture links to the website behind it).
Social Media shouldn’t be an add-on, but should be considered in everything else that you’re doing… put links to the pages/Twitter name, etc. in church notice sheets, and publicity, etc…
If you are working for an organisation – e.g. a church – ensure that people can feel ‘free’ to go ahead and represent you …not having
This was kinda summed up at a recent conference…
At all times – remember!
… and don’t forget the cat.
So – what do you think? What does it make you think about engaging online, how we share our faith, how we make Jesus real to people?
