Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

In the past, I have presented remotely using skype audio and video. Last year I audio-skyped into a conference in the UK to present with Steve Bridger. For the audio, we use a phone line that was fed into the AV system and wireless mic. It is also helpful to have a back channel for communications with the moderator.

I told them that after circle we would use SKYPE internet phone to call Nick in Hong Kong. I explained to them that my computer was turned into a phone and showed on the globe where Hong Kong was. I told them Nick could answer the questions they had about the flickr photo set he put together. Is something sweet?

Test, Test, Test: When the hosts arrived at the conference location for set up, we tested the connection and Google Hangout on location. The site had great wireless and Tharum was able to test on his laptop and give me a tour of the facility, including a walk outside. Photo by Be Chandra. Henry Khu (@HenryKhu) May 7, 2013.

I've also had the benefit of getting some great photos sent by other people that I can use (thanks, Marketa!). One of the best memories of Isaac was standing in the Schatzalp hotel holding a laptop to his ear like it was a cell phone, because someone had made a Skype connection to Nigeria.

In person is best, but if the people you want to work with are across the country, you can talk on the phone, or set up a Skype conference call. If you have a laptop, it may be less distracting to have your job search time at a café, or the library so that when you come home you don’t feel guilty relaxing.

We will use SKYPE out which is more rebust for monthly conference calls, scheduled for business hours in Pakistan so participants can use the Internet connection at their offices. I selected the latter because all participants are on Facebook and can access it on their mobile phones. There is also an self-assessment exercise.

Rather than a donor texting a keyword to a shortcode to donate and having the donation processed through the donor’s mobile phone bill, with TapFunder the donor is sent a link to a mobile-optimized payment site where the donor can make the donation with a credit card.
