Note From Beth: Since 2007, I've been using, adapting, and remixing the Social Media Game social media workshops for nonprofits. EDF has embraced the spirit of this sharing - not only remixing a version of the game for their organization,but also sharing back the materials and what worked! . Plans to re-run the game.

Yesterday, I facilitated a hot topic workshop at the Healthy Communities Annual Conference hosted by the Search Institute in Minneapolis. It was a little challenging to remix a workshop that would be relevant to these different perspectives and age groups and have people leave the room having learned something. It was eye opening.

This required setting up online curriculum that could step folks through set up and aid their planning and implementation. Many people have also remixed it. I also remixed the game recently to incorporate some of the latest tools such as mobile and location-based social networks. This is the gift of time. Stay tuned for that!

As one social media strategist told me over a year ago, "I facilitated social media guidelines as a first doable step because there was so much fear about encouraging staff to use social media at organization.

The social media lab for arts organizations is a combination of face-to-face workshops, phone calls, and online support via a wiki and Twitter over several months. Most importantly, I need a good facilitator for each table. I select what I questions I do based on answers in an online pre-survey. Somethings to improve.
