Social Media 202, goals and organization

This is the third of four sessions on Social Media for the Arizona Game & Fish Department.

This presentation focuses on setting goals, tracking progress, includes a case study about social media use during the Wallow Fire in eastern Arizona, and begins a discussion about how to structure the social media systems in a government organization.

This is the outline:

  • using the tools for work
  • setting goals and tracking progress
  • researching within social media tools
  • ways to find out what people are talking about during certain times, in certain places
  • how to engage in conversations - beyond promoting your work, how to encourage conversations, take part in them
  • the difference between personal and professional use of social media tools
  • ethical concerns - what to tweet, what not to tweet, how to correct something
