A social media masterclass…

After speaking at last years APYCO conference DK from Media Snackers was back this year to run a Social Media Materclass with delegates.

You can find all the resources from the presentation online here.

DK shared how services with young people can:

• Use Skype to keep in touch via voice and video conversations with integrated teams, run conference calls and stay in touch without phone call charges
• Use Google Documents for collaboration in teams
• Set up and run a blog in just three clicks.
• Use Animoto.com to create dynamic visuals videos from photos.
• Use Issuu to display youth magazines and content dynamically online
• Use Flickr to share photos and geo-tag them
• Use Dipity to create virtual timeslines of events and activities
• Run interactive votes using SMSPoll.net

Also available at the conference was the executive summary of the new Youth Work and Social Networking report by The National Youth Agency - a practical research report outlining how youth services can take steps to develop their social media and social networking strategies. You can download a copy of that report here or discuss the report on it’s own blog here. (Disclosure: I was the lead researcher on the YWSN project).
