Online Media and Your Neighbor

While our communities are rooted in physical places and their unique geography, technology gives us additional ways of “being together” that can complement and enhance your face-to-face practices. This workshop will explore a range of possibilities for using online networking for geographically based community work. Then we’ll use our own participation and learning in the CM10 conference as a place to practice a specific strategy of “social reporting” or sharing out what the relatively few of us get to experience at the conference back to your community and constituency. Bring your real community needs, a sense of adventure and you will walk away with ideas, practices and tools. (Fee: $70. Lunch is not included.)
