Using Social Media


"Using Social Media to Get Connected."

My experience with social media has been one that I thought may not be right for me. But since I have been using social media I have been able to connect to connect with people who I may not otherwise. Although you can be discouraged by some of the things you see on social media, it can also be very resourceful. I am still limited with my use of social media but realizing it can be used for more than just social conversation with family and friends.



It think all social media tools can be effective in advocacy work when used properly. It eliminates having to find time to gather and meet for things that can be resolved using other methods. Social media allows you to share and receive information quickly. I remember when all we had was mail. Now so much is being done through email and is quickly moving towards social media.  I love how we can share on our blogs information that is beneficial to our future success.

I am not by any means that effective when using social media. The only social media outlet that I use daily is facebook. I do know that it can be used in my advocacy efforts because you can set up private groups to share information with those members. We have a group specifically set up for our family members where we share information among ourselves that others can’t view. But I have also used my personal page to share information on topics that I feel are important and can have a positive effect in the lives of others.

I would like to know how others are using other social media tools so that I can increase my ability to promote my advocacy efforts
