The sessions will be held on Thursday, April 17, 2008; Thursday, June 19, 2008; and Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Eastern.
LaDonna Coy, MHR, CPS, CDLA, New Media and Prevention Specialist and author of the Technology in Prevention blog, will be the presenter for the sessions. Sue Stine, Senior Manager for Dissemination and Coalition Relations for CADCA’s National Coalition Institute will be the moderator.
Here are the sessions:
April 17, 2008: Content Communities for Coalitions: Getting Started with Social Media
This Webinar introduces content communities – people organizing themselves around an object in which they share an interest. Join in and learn more about how content communities are a resource, a place to belong and a useful tool for coalition marketing, presentations and networking. Discussion will center around the current most popular content communities coalesce around photos (Flickr) videos (YouTube) and online bookmarks (del.icio.us).
June 19, 2008: Blogs: Finding Your Coalition Voice, Expanding Your Coalition Channel
While blogging isn’t new, the application to the work of community coalitions is. So just what is a blog? What does a blog have to do with community coalitions? This webinar answers these questions and more. Join in to learn more about blogging and how it can be used as a free or low cost media source, information channel and all around narrative documentation of community interest and action.
September 18, 2008: Social Networking: Building Your Virtual Neighborhood
When coalitions are asked, “What is the most important element of the conference experience?” they often say, “the networking.” With social networks coalitions can deepen and broaden their “neighborhoods,” be exposed to diverse ideas and solutions and make new acquaintances–virtually. This Webinar introduces social networking and how it supports coalitions in making the face-to-face networking experience even richer!
