Staying Sane With Social Media for Individuals

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Trying to integrate social media into your daily life can be challenging, especially with all the different channels and new things popping up daily. This presentation was given recently at Saint Catherine University Summer Chautauqua 2011 continuing education program to a group of social media newbies. It was adapted from a presentation I gave with Lori Jacobwith at the Minnesota Council for Nonprofits 2011 Technology Conference. Much thanks to Amy Sample Ward who gave me permission to use her slides in this presentation. Amy's kitchen analogy is one of the best I've seen!
