Handouts

Here are the handouts for the Tips, Tactics and Tripwires session at the 33rd Annual Massachusetts Early Intervention Consortium. Here is the Agenda for our Session, Thursday, May 10th, 2012.

We'll start the session with a Self-Assessment. This will enable participants to gauge their awareness of and use of various social media platforms. We'll then discuss various social media platforms, how they work and how people are using them to inform and support families of young children with disabilities. Here is a handout describing some of the Technology Tips we'll be discussing. After lunch we will begin on a group activity using the following Scenarios and Worksheet.

After groups report out participants will have the opportunity to identify their own Outcomes and activities they may embark on after the training. We will use this blogspot as a way to continue to share and support one another as we try different activities.
Finally, participants are asked to complete this Evaluation so that we may use your feedback to make improvements to this workshop.

Sharing web content that is not already on Facebook, to Facebook

One of the easiest ways to “capture” web content, both hyperlinks and images from other websites and share it to Facebook is to use a browser plug-in.  One plug-in that is easy to use and you can place as a shortcut on your browser tab is: Add This.  You will have an orange-red button with a white plus sign installed on your browser bookmark list.  Once installed in your browser toolbar, you can customize to list the social media sites you use most.   You can then share a webpage via email, to Facebook, twitter, blogger, Pinterest, etc.,  

Now you can easily share any website you find! If you are signed into Facebook and using it as your page, and then use add this to share some content, it will be shared as your page.  If you are signed in as yourself and use add this to share some content, it will be shared as your profile.

Generally, one wants to sprinkle Facebook posts throughout the day, and avoid posting a series of shares at one time.  This annoys your followers and reduces the importance of your posts.  Recent analytic studies show that shares of posts are highest on Saturday mornings.
