Twitter and Facebook

The RIGHT purpose & the RIGHT people

• Partners,
• Community organizers
•  Students and young people (under 60)

The WRONG purpose & the WRONG people

• Some seniors or parents who are not online
• Without clear guidelines, tweeting with students can be inappropriate, and in many cases it is not recommended being facebook friends with students.  Explore social media sites like Edmondo which are designed for educator-student  online communications

Tips for Newbies

• Create event pages on FB for special events, activities to promote the event or call out for volunteers
• A main information page
• Make specific groups for specific functions, activities, events
• Recruit a committee of volunteers to help you use social media
• Use it wisely, be aware of privacy issues
