Weekender Article on Facebook

One of my blog posts has been reprinted in the Weekender Herald, a newspaper in Adelaide, Australia. The link to the on-line edition with the article is here.

The Adelaide Hills Volunteering Team have been experimenting with this online means of communicating about volunteering for a couple of years now and it has kept me disciplined to write a lot of articles!

Thanks guys. What is interesting too is the paper have moved the community pages a little forward toward the front!

Social Media Training in the Hills

Break time

Had a very enjoyable day in the Adelaide Hills training 

with Hills Volunteering and Mt Barker District Council. 

There were attendees from the Private Sector, government Sector and Community Sector. 

We looked at Social Media. Some good questions came from the group:

• where does a "Tweet" go?
• how do we keep records in an electronic age when  data can be changed so quickly?
• do we need to keep records of Facebook conversations for legal reasons?
• Is Flickr safe for children?
• Where should I store photos? Flickr or Facebook?

Workshop Participants

We also had a presentation about the facts behind the new Australian National Broadband Network like what the wires look like, the connections, the costs, the equipment. It is indeed very visionary and very different to what I thought. 

Was very excited by the provision of fresh fruit for lunch and snacks. Thanks guys!

I got an average of 94% which would seem to be "acceptable".

Any Perth people? I am in Perth in about a month and would LOVE to do a Social Media workshop if anyone would be keen to arranging that!
