Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

JANUARY 14, 2009

Flickr Photo by JTLowery The title of this post is play on the famous PSA " Brain on Drugs " from 1987 to raise attention to the harmful effects of drugs. The memorable tagline : This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. I'm not saying that social media is harmful to your brain or an addiction. (Well, maybe for those people who Twitter on their mobile phones while on the toilet ). Does growing up digital evolve young people's brains?

With hundreds of panels and what seems like miles of convention center to cover at sxsw interactive, it has been challenging for folks working in the non profit sector to find a place where you can easily meet up with peers, unwind your brain, or just share all the cool stuff you’re absorbing with other people who “get it”.

In educational youth broadcasting series, this can be achieved through a “call” process. ” Though, this may not work in the same manner in the adult world; by including elements that require the learner to choose a proper pathway or answer, or even an element to make the user click on a certain portion of the content to continue the learning, will further aid in course completion, and the users’ ability to continue their brain activity throughout the entire process.

I have to prepare for a presentation at the Integrated Media Conference (public broadcasting) at the end of the month called "Lessons Beyond the Field." " The description is: Public broadcasting isn't the only industry that's exploring the role of social media in their work. I got about 3 slides in when I realized that my brain no longer operates that way. Photo in flickr - Letting Go.

Putting the Public Back in Public Media Think NPR and PBS are just broadcasters? This visionary panel will explore the premise that openness will be ubiquitous by 2040 – when the debate will no longer be private vs. public, but instead public vs. broadcast. We’ll pick the brains of people who live this challenge daily in the nonprofit sector. Illustration by Jonny Goldstein of my SXSW panel proposal.

To go even further out on the technology frontier there is ‘brain computer interface’ or thought controlled computing.

Twitter is like a big radio party--everyone can broadcast and everyone can listen. If radio was a brand new media format and you had the opportunity to host a show or run a station, you'd probably listen to some other stations before deciding whether and what to broadcast. So please, get together with the most creative (and concise) brains in your institution and find the idea that will work for you. Note: this is a geeky post that assumes familiarity with Twitter.

It wasn’t yet my turn to drive, and I’d have been broadcasting observations all morning, with nothing better to contribute. If people who are more socially-linked are truly faster to catch an infection, perhaps the most socially-linked leaders would be fastest to identify & respond to destructive impulses in our now more collective brain.

Sure, it might be nice to broadcast your blog feed to a screen in the museum somewhere, but the real value is for readers who can visit again and again from the flexibility of their own environment. When I stretch my brain, I can imagine this being useful when: most of the museum-going audience does not have regular access to computers/web.
