Susan Mernit, social web and journalism goddess, is heading up this first teaching event for the Public Media Collaborative on May 1 at the University of San Francisco. It is free to people affiliated with a “mission-driven” organization. The workshops are in collaboration with the Journalism Innovations II conference.
I’m just learning about the Public Media Collaborative and have joined the wiki and the Facebook group to explore deeper. In the meantime, this event not only looks like fun, but is heading in a direction I strongly believe in – social media literacy for all.
The three free sessions are:
- Social Media 101: Getting started with Facebook and other social networking tools
- Building your brand with social media
- Twitter: A User’s Guide for individuals, non-profits, bloggers & writers.
There will be a Spanish language track as well.
More information is at Susan blog here. Pre-registration is required and you can register here.
Public Media Collaborative is planning another event in July for non-profits, community organizations and community activists. Join in if you'd like to contribute or learn. Then share!
Thanks, Linda, great to see this post and your interest--we definitely would love you energy on board.
Best, Susan
