Static sites were web 1.0
Blogs, wikis, podcasts, social networks...
...any site where ordinary people create content, network and socialise...
= web 2.0

Blogs – the basics
• A blog is a special kind of website that organizes articles or “posts” by date or subject, and allows readers to comment
• Blogs are usually less formal and more dynamic than a normal website
• Good blogs invite comments and discussion and repeat visits
• Search engines like blogs!
![Page 10: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Starting a blog
• Read some blogs yourself, then try a free blog tool for yourself
- www.blogger.com- www.wordpress.com- www.typepad.comThe best blogs are honest, interesting,
useful and consistent – not an easy taskAsk yourself: Do I have the resources to
make a good blog? Is a bad blog worth it?

What is Twitter?
• www.twitter.com• “Twitter is a service for friends,
family and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?”
• Yeah – I didn’t get it either – at first
![Page 16: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Twitter is a lot of conversations
![Page 17: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why is Twitter popular?
• It’s like instant messaging or text messaging but to a huge group
• Oddly enough, communication happens and communities form in tiny bursts
• It’s quite addictive…
![Page 18: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Starting with Twitter
• Sign up, it’s free• At first, you’ll see almost nothing• Start “following” people• Participate – say something, ask a
question, respond to others’ questions
![Page 19: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

SOCIAL NETWORKS
![Page 28: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

What is Facebook?
• Facebook is a “social utility”• People “live” online there• It’s not just for kids (half of you are
there!)• The average Facebook user views 45
pages during a session• There are different kinds of FB pages:
personal, groups, companies or organisations like yours
![Page 31: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Starting with Facebook
• Sign up for a personal account• Find your friends, look at what
they are doing • Join some groups• Search with keywords relating to
your organisation’s mission• Start contributing and creating
![Page 32: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Everything is on Facebook
![Page 33: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
![Page 34: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
RSS – Really Simple Syndication
This is what powers social media technology
![Page 35: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
To keep in the game, organisations MUST:
• Let go• Facilitate conversations, don’t control
them• Involve people, don’t ‘own’ your cause• Allow people to get involved: Student or
employee on social network does not equal messer!
• Try things and be patient• Aggregate content for your audience
![Page 36: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What’s so different about web 2.0?
• It is fundamentally different from previous forms of media
• Social media platforms provide a framework for people to connect directly to each other – the architecture has permanently changed, though technologies will continue to evolve
• People are using social media to glean information from each other without relying on organisations
• This shift is permanent! Get involved or lose out!
![Page 37: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
This doesn’t mean we replace offline activity
![Page 38: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The best users of social media blend online and
offline activity• Example: If you’re running an awareness
event for your students or organisation• Create a network or start a group around the
event• Write blog posts in the run up to the event• Invite people to post their own photos onto
your site, ask them to post their feedback etc• Those who took part will feel like part of a
team• Those who couldn’t be there will feel like they
haven’t missed out
![Page 39: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Setting expectations
• Social media isn’t a miracle cure• It may take a long time for your
social media investment to pay off• It might even never pay off in the
way you originally intended
![Page 40: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Social Media is one tool
• Don’t overinvest in social media• Know your audiences (current and
future) and court them appropriately• If you neglect conventional media,
you might leave out your core audience / supporters
• Don’t underinvest in social media either
![Page 41: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
One more warning
• In social media, you might be the topic of discussion but you’re not always the centre or the master of it
• You will have to give up some control to gain more followers and influence. This is OK.
![Page 42: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Relaxing your grip
• It’s the nature of social media that not all information is exactly right but the bulk of it is generally right (see wikipedia)
• Not all comments will be favourable• How you react to unfavourable comments
says a lot about you• Pick your battles and don’t be afraid to
apologise when you’re wrong
![Page 43: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Keys to success
• Social Media is just one piece of the puzzle, don’t neglect the rest
• One size doesn’t fit all, do what’s right for your organisation and your people
• Keep experimenting and always test• You will give up some control – learn
to live with it and learn to love it

Savvy Chavvy & the power of bespoke social networks
![Page 45: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

‘child’
![Page 46: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Savvy Chavvy
• Young Travellers use the network as a safe place to learn, have discussions, find family members, make friends and arrange events
![Page 47: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Rosina Hughes is 17 from Wareham, Dorset. She says:
• "It's great to have a site where you feel comfortable and safe discussing these things”
• "They have Gypsy hate groups, so it's important that we have our own space."
• “You're all dirty” and “you're all scum”, are some of the racist responses she says she has received on other social networking sites.
![Page 48: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
You can set up your own network for your community or
organisation by using free networks like:
• www.ning.com• www.webjam.com
We set Savvy Chavvy up using Ning
![Page 49: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Some examples of other bespoke social networks
• http://heartsounds.ning.com • Hundreds of people in the UK with mental health problems
use the network to share information with professionals and other service users in Uganda
• www.harringayonline.com• 2500 residents of this town in London use it to share
information, launch campaigns and build community spirit • www.tudiabetes.com • Over 6000 people with diabetes use the network to
support each other and share information
![Page 50: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
TOP TEN TIPSto set up a network on Ning
• Firstly, you need to consider the purpose of your network – who will be your members and why will they use this website above others? What need does your network address?
![Page 51: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Set Up
• Go to www.ning.com and set up your network, choosing a catchy name and Ning web address. It’s very simple; all you need is an email address and it takes a couple of minutes
![Page 52: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Privacy
• Choose how public or private it is going to be – can everyone on the web see and contribute to your network or will it be closed and private for your members only?
![Page 53: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Tagline
• Give your network a tagline and short description - what’s it all about? The tagline should consist of one pithy sentence, E.g. www.savvychavvy.com: ‘A social network for young Gypsies and Travellers in the UK’
![Page 54: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Features
• Next, add features to your network. You can drag and drop functions like ‘forum’, ‘chat’, ‘blog’, ‘video’ & ‘photos’ into the front page.
• You might, for example, place the ‘forum’ function prominently in the middle of the page if having discussions is the main purpose of your network
![Page 55: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Design
• Choose a design – Ning will give you lots of templates to choose from and you can customize one with your own choice of images, fonts and colours
![Page 56: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Content
• Your network is now ready for content – help to define the network’s identity by starting discussions, posting photos, adding videos etc that are relevant to the purpose of the website
![Page 57: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
People
• Invite people to the network – start by inviting relevant people and welcoming them by writing a note on their pages.
• If you’re trying to attract a certain community don’t send out blanket invites to attract a volume of members – the quality and relevance of your members is what will help it grow and develop into a sustainable space.
• You can support this by writing your own relevant joining up questions
![Page 58: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Engage
• Keep the community active and interested – once you have a working network, keep your members engaged by making small changes to the site, adding new content and sending them relevant information (without spamming them with constant messages!)
![Page 59: Social Media For Development Educators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/545c4060b1af9f4b0a8b46b8/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Extras
• Ning is free but you can purchase optional services like the removal of ads, the ability to use your own domain name and extra storage
