Find your school's Voice: Facebook BootcampedSocialMedia
Knowing how to leverage your Facebook page is only half the battle. Staying up with the persistent changes is becoming exponentially harder as Facebook continues to innovate. For Facebook administrators, it’s one more place to displace your time, and it’s hard to keep up. But no matter what the statistics, your school must be creating compelling content to get your constituents to see the content, and generate an engaging conversation to increase your interaction rate (which will, in turn, get your story into the news feed of your constituents). So how does your school swing it? Several attendees joined edSocialMedia on Oct. 13 at Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart for a Facebook Bootcamp experience to learn the tricks of the trade.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Editor's Notes
Welcome and thanks for coming Today came about from discussions about training needs. In supervisions and team meetings web 2.0 kept coming up. Some people knew a bit or a lot about certain applications but none of us really had a firm overview of web 2.0 and how we could use it Allied to that, for probably the last two years and maybe longer people have been saying “Should we have a presence on facebook?” “should we have a blog?” So I started looking for courses that we could arrange for people to attend and quickly came to the conclusion that: It would take a longish time before we could get everybody on one It was very hard to tell from course details whether they were at the right level and whether they would actually give us what we wanted It would probably have spent the whole training budget So we came up with the idea of today and because web 2.0 is something that has an impact on all teams we are delighted that members of other teams have joined us Introductions
We all know that web 2.0 applications have had a huge impact you can’t open a paper, listen to the radio or watch television without them being mentioned The numbers are staggering and we would be fools not to look to use them to reach existing and new customers and to develop new services
Social Networking Why should libraries be interested in social networking? “ Seven of the top 20 most-visited websites in the world are social-networking sites” (Lincoln, 2009, p.135) Examples of popular social networking websites include Bebo , Facebook , Flickr , LinkedIn , MySpace , Twitter and YouTube . The creation and sharing of personal profiles is central to these websites. From the perspective of libraries, the main benefit of social networking websites is interaction with users and non-users. LINCOLN, S.R., 2009. Mastering Web 2.0: transform your business using key websites and social media tools. London: Kogan Page.
What is Twitter? “ the ‘marmite’ of internet applications” (Smith and Llinares, 2009, p. 3) [1] . Create a profile Simple and intuitive “ What are you doing?” Status update known as a “tweet” Restricted to 140-characters (micro-blogging) Following/followers concept Connected in real-time Etiquette Accessible from mobile phones [1] SMITH, J. and LLINARES, J., 2009. Dominate your market with Twitter: tweet your way to business success. Oxford: Infinite Ideas.
Who is tweeting? Libraries 40-plus libraries and library services (Aberdeenshire Library and Information Service @onceuponashire/Edinburgh Libraries @TalesOfOneCity) Librarians Steve Baker @stevejbaker Services Enquire @AskALibrarianUK Institutions The British Library @britishlibrary Publications The Bookseller @TheBookseller Publishers Facet Publishing @facetpublishing Writers Margaret Atwood @MargaretAtwood Stephenie Meyer @Stephenie_Meyer Organisations Nottinghamshire County Council @NottsCC
Why use Twitter? Network Connect with peers Not hierarchical Personal and approachable Interact and engage with community “ Fish where the fish are!” Broadcast information Quick, easy and free medium Cascade Find information Timely source (follow conferences) Detect trends Online Reputation Management (ORM) Analyse statistics through applications
What to tweet Events Make live announcements using a mobile telephone or laptop News and information Opening hours SRC Reader development Jonathan Ross’ book club Competition to reduce a work of literature to 140-character or less Resources Promote new books Services Enquire Signposts to online content Drive traffic to website, catalogue, online resources Use TinyURL.com Research Ask for feedback from followers
Where did it all start? Started as a way for bands and musicians to share their work. Developed into a social networking site with over 100 million profiles made up of; individual users Businesses filmmakers Comedians clubs and organisations. Most features of the site are similar to Facebook, for example; Blogs Messaging Live Chat Online photo album
Why do people use MySpace? Features tools to store and share music tracks, so is popular with musicians You can share information with a huge audience Can put on short video clips Calendar tool for appointments or events which can be shared Pages can be customized text fonts background photo Each page has an individual URL so the profile can be viewed without signing up.
What can libraries use it for? Reaching a huge, possibly new audience Possibility for increased interaction with users, for example through posts, which actively invite comment. There is a great potential for increasing feedback on services Tools for marketing with video footage – could put on tours of the library Set up Online reading groups or interest groups e.g. self help, job seeking Feature links to things such as Homework help Library staff initially hosting discussion groups We could post bulletins that promote our stock, for example themed reading lists or tailored reading lists covering topics such as bereavement, sports or crafts to relevant friends or groups.
Needs to be kept up to date with interesting content, responding to posts, writing blogs, uploading video etc. New information needs to be added regularly to create alerts Users may not expect to find libraries on social network sites. OCLC survey found only 13% of public and 14% library directors surveyed, felt it was library’s role. (2007) Many book clubs already exist on networking sites so it is not an exclusive library role, e.g. Jonathan Ross on Twitter Personal privacy. Customers may be reluctant to share personal information with an institution. There could be a role here for us to make customers aware of using privacy settings NOT designing layout and visual appeal of site. Some sites look professional, others have not made use of graphics available. Profile would need corporate image and content management which reduces spontaneity of responding to comments etc. It’s a virtual community, but will users respond by increased library website use? Will it mean increased use of our resources, or presence at events that justifies time spent on building profiles?
What are libraries doing on MySpace We have chosen four examples Glasgow Libraries do not allow access to networking sites on their public PCs! Newcastle City Library has profile with music recordings from local musicians, live video of old library being pulled down. BUT Blog not updated since Jan. Blackburn using site specifically for events promotion. Lewisham has virtual tours and new building refurbs. Some are NOT actively adding friendsand have as few as 8. www.myspace.com/lambethlibraries www.myspace.com/newcastlecitylibrary www.myspace.com/derbycitylibraries www.myspace.com/enfieldlibraries www.myspace.com/blackburnlibraryevents
Facebook is probably best known for “personal profiles” where you put on information about yourself, build up your profile then find and add “friends” who gain access to your information and vice versa, but it can also be a strong advertising tool.
Creating a Facebook Page “ A Facebook Page isn’t the equivalent to an account. Rather, it is an entity on Facebook that can be managed by many people with their own distinct accounts”. “ Pages” can be set up by brands or businesses and then other users can become “fans” of the page. A message will be posted on that persons profile to say they are a “fan” which will then appear on their friends profiles, with an option for them to become a “fan” too. Anyone using Facebook becomes a potential “Fan” and is not limited to your circle of friends. All “Fan” requests are automatically accepted. There is an option to block people for inappropriate behaviour. It is possible to appoint “admins” who can update content. When you set up a “Page” you can categorise it to help people searching for it.
Features of a Page I’ve highlighted some of the features here: Search Box - use to find friends or pages Instant Chat Shows when your friends are online. This only shows up on your personal profile if you are logged in. When managing a Page you can log in as a “business account” so it is not a personal page and this feature won’t be on it. Access to home page – always on display Tabbed features Shortcuts to applications
Embedding other Features Here is a Page from Rotherham Libraries. You can embed features into the page. They use Hyperlinks to connect users to another site – for example here, they link to their online membership form, library information, enquire etc.. They have a tab for You Tube but you could have a link to other features such as RSS Feeds and Twitter. There are Facebook applications that let you set up a tab like this one. You can also put on pictures, photographs and videos
Creating a group Here’s a page by the East Midlands Career Development Group. Can create a “group” e.g. for reading groups and feature those on the main “page”. It is a good tool for communicating between work groups or project teams Can include a calendar of events and send invitations to members Groups have “members”. You can restrict privacy to members, members and friends or opt to be globally visable. Note that the style is similar on every page. They are not as customisable as other sites which may have some “branding” issues for us but it does make it easy for customers and involves less design work and formatting from us. Most of the customization of the Page comes from the applications that you choose to add as well as the content you include. This is the main difference between Facebook and other Social Networking sites.
Statistics When you set up a page you will have automatically have access to statistics generated from it Statistics generated include: Number of Page views New fans each day Demographic breakdown of fans by age and gender The data can be exported as an Excel file (XLS) or a Comma-separated file (CSV) You can send updates to specific demographics of fans
You need to be registered with the website personally to look at Pages if you go through the www.facebook.com website You don’t need to be a member if you click through a link on a different website. However, if you want to add comments or join discussions you will need to register If you can’t access Facebook from a PC at work for example, you can set it so that any updates are sent to your e-mail/phone.
Top Features Can create a Page to represent a business Customers don’t have to have registered on the site to see your Page You can network with other platforms i.e. Twitter and Myspace as well as RSS Feeds/Blogs Statistics are generated allowing for targeted marketing Quick to update and you can assign several Admins to do the work The design and layout of the site is unchangeable so there is no design work involved REMEMBER as with any Social Networking site, content creation is the key!
Interesting pictures: from the last 7 days; blog on a particular picture Also can make posters, cards using photos etc
When you look at someone else’s photograph on their photostream you have the option to make a comment about it.
Flick is also a photo social networking site and enables you to share your photos with others. You can search for friends and family on Flickr and mark people as contacts. You can then show photographs with them which others won’t necessarily see. You can also see their personal photos. When you and your contacts upload pictures, you can see them straightaway and leave comments and notes about them.
As a member of Flick you can join a group. A group is made up of individual members. The members share photographs on a similar theme by submitting them into sets called pools. There are lots of different groups; highlighted ones here include Movement and Motion and Notary Public. Groups can be public, where anyone can join and anyone can see the members and the pool; public (invite only), where anyone can see the members and the pool but only those invited by the group administrator can join; and private, where they cannot be seen and only those invited by a group administrator can join
‘ Creative Commons’ is part of the Flickr site. Here you can attribute licences to your photos determining how they can be used by others; and find photos which you can copy, publish and produce etc
Adobe flash - comparable quality to more established video playback technologies e.g. windows Media Player, Quick Time and RealPlayer
Embedding: Each video has a piece of HTML which can be used to embed it on a page outside of YouTube
You can type keywords into the search box Shows how many results for that keyword
To browse categories click on Videos then choose a category to browse

Click browse to select the video you want to upload Click “upload” to start the process As the video is uploading you can enter information in the relevant fields, title, description, category and tags Click save” It can take from 2mins to an hour to upload You can upload up to 10 video files in one session
You can tell how many times your video has been looked at and how many stars viewers have given it
Going to look at a few examples of videos posted by libraries or about libraries They are mainly American where most libraries seem to have a YouTube account but there are a couple from UK even one from Nottinghamshire!
This one from Westminster. It is an introduction to the library service. You can see it lasts 4 mins 52 secs
This one also from Westminster, promoting their book groups This section gives information about the video and the person or organisation who posted the video You can click on related videos to see others by the same provider. Clicking on these links you directly to that video
Posted by Orange County Library in America, it starts in black and white and shows how libraries have changed over the years
Another American video, very silly but gets the point across
Shows a librarian in superwoman costume doing what librarians do best!
This video explains how to use family history resources
This one is of the Mad Scientist event at Sutton library, filmed by the Chad newspaper. There is an interview at the end with Claire and me but I’ve spared our blushes by not showing that bit!
