Many thanks to Chris Heuer and Kristie Wells of the Social Media Club for organizing fantastic Social Media Workshop and inviting me to participate. I wanted to write some reflections about what worked and what could have been improved with the Social Media Game.  Not every social media tool will work for every project.

I'm really excited because I'm doing a workshop for the Meyer Memorial Trust in Portland, Oregon on Friday, December 7th. I'm working on some new material and we're doing some small group exercises where participants will come up with some ideas about how to develop a social media strategy, identify metrics, and look at outcomes.

This report and the advice for getting started goes right to the heart and soul of what I’m currently working in my training and consulting practice. The point is that we learn best by teaching what we have learned and interacting with others to share ideas and work through problems. The Power of Remixable Content.

Together, NTEN members and other nonprofit techies/trainers, developed and delivered workshops and webinars based on the community-generated content. A Two-Day Face-to-Face Intensive Workshop that looked at strategy and tactics and co-taught by contributors to the wiki. What are the best emerging examples and early lessons learned?

People can add and embellish your content and if you have access to the remix, it can give you new ideas. It gets your work out there. No, but is more likely to happen is that people will use the work, use the license honestly, and improve the work. Remix This Powerpoint. The cover is from a remix mashup.

Note From Beth: Since 2007, I've been using, adapting, and remixing the Social Media Game social media workshops for nonprofits. Dave Witzel was a participant in the workshop and thought the game could be adapted as apart of training on social media at the staff retreat. In fact, just last month, I took it to India.

Tomorrow, I'm traveling to Syracuse, NY area to do a couple of workshops for CCSNYS.ORG's "Money for Mission Conference" I'm doing two sessions - both are 1 hr 45 minutes - not the usual 90 minute panel session where you have too little time. So, I decided to get a little creative and do some remixing. I had fun with it too.

In workshops, I'd play the video and have folks jot down words or themes. Its the power of being about to work in a networked way with a group that isn't pre-defined. The remix epitomizes the era of social relationships (see Jeremiah Owyang's Five Eras of Social Web ). or social media was all about. What style of dancing?

So what gives, and how can you crush our record when you propose a workshop next year? What keys to the viral kingdom have you discovered while going about your work? Although my ego would prefer otherwise, I doubt it. In short, the secret lies in what some may call the "Kevin Bacon effect", AKA viral marketing.

It made remember the workshops I taught way back in 1993 for arts people about Internet literacy - the web was just getting started. What would you change, add, or remove if you were to remix this slide show for a nonprofit audience ? What does the Internet look like ? Liz Strauss asks if crayons qualify as social media.

Over the next six months, I will have the pleasure of working with NTEN and Holly Ross on a new community-driven funded by the Surdna Foundation. But the best reason of all is a chance to work with other people who are passionate about nonprofits and social media. This is an emerging experiment of a community working a networked way.
