GEECS jointly delivered a Social Media workshop at the TPAS Cymru (Tenant Participation Advisory Service) conference on Friday with Novas Scarman, one of our Communities 2.0 project partners.The session focused on the benfits of social media, and used Tumblr - a powerful & simple personal publishing platform - as an example of the scope and potential of using social media. To support the workshop we created this blog http://tpascymru.tumblr.com/ which demonstrates posts of all kinds, incorporates an RSS feed which posts to the blog automatically, and includes information on using Tumblr & its benefits. We posted to the blog during the session to demonstrate the speed, simplicity & effectiveness of the platform.
It was an enjoyable session to deliver - many of the participants weren't well versed in the potential of social media, but were enthused by the session and left intending to make better use of the tools that are freely available to them.
