I had the pleasure of attending and presenting at this year's Indiana State Teachers Association Fall Conference in Indianapolis, IN this past weekend (9/20/09).
The presentation covered Web 2.0 in context of maturing technology and the generations of users who are redefining the rules of communications and organizing in the 21st Century.

Are you baffled by all the privacy concerns surrounding Facebook to the point that you’re uneasy about using this popular social network? How about all the hoopla surrounding Twitter? What is Twitter anyway? You’ll get thorough answers to these questions and hands-on experience with these and other social media tools, as well as understand how their uses can help rebuild our union and profession in the 21st Century! You will learn how to use web resources and technology to organize, engage, and mobilize members, leaders, parents, and the community around local association concerns e.g. student achievement, membership, collective bargaining, elections and other legislative issues.

Missouri-NEA will host some 30 participants at a social media workshop in Kansas City and St. Louis this week. Participants will learn the basics of a few primary social media tools such as Facebook (including Facebook privacy), YouTube, Wikis and Twitter. Then participants will explore how and why these social media tools were leveraged to support a variety of association and for-profit social media campaigns. Finally, the workshop will explore how to measure the effectiveness of a campaign and which tools are the best for doing this.
