<P>Stories that wrap your audience in and keep them listening will do wonders
for your work. What is a story if it isn't heard? The magic of the social web is
making it easier and easier to get our stories out to more than our core
audiences and allowing us to drawn in potential new listeners like never before.
Perhaps, you have heard a podcast or overheard someone talking about tagging or
social bookmarking, but do you know how to make these tools work for telling
your story?<BR><BR>Join TechSoup Global and NTEN for this 5-part webinar series,
Social Media and Storytelling, where you will start learning the building blocks
of the social web, then learn specifics on podcasting, video creation, and
creating social media buzz, and finishing with ROI to determine what your
strategy is worth.<BR><BR><STRONG>Sessions include (</STRONG><STRONG>Space is
limited, Register Early! </STRONG><STRONG>Sign up separately for each

<P>Is sharing really caring? Well, it can at least boost your internal
staff knowledge and your positioning as a resource in the community!<BR><BR>In
this webinar we'll discuss the fundamentals of sharing information with social
media tools. You don't have to know how to do this already to take
part—this is for those just starting out! We'll cover social bookmarking,
tagging, RSS and more, plus the tools you can start using for free to do it all.

PT</STRONG><STRONG>)</STRONG> </P>
<P>Presented by: Corey Pudhorodsky </P>
<P><SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>Though in person communication is often considered most
effective storytelling method, podcasting is a great alternative to broadcast
your message, educate constituents, or sharing your story in a compelling
medium. In this session you will learn how simple podcasting your content can
actually be. You will also get a better understanding of the investments
required to maintain a compelling podcasting. Though this session will focus on
audio podcasting, many of the tips and resources will also apply to those
interested in video podcast as well.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> </P>

PT</STRONG><STRONG>) </STRONG></P>
<P>Presented by: Beth Kanter </P>
<P><SPAN><SPAN>This Webinar will show how you can effectively use ROI processes,
techniques, and formulas to help your organization make better social media
strategy decisions and demonstrate impact. We'll take a look at what you can and
cannot quantify as well as look at the most appropriate metrics for a social
media strategy. We'll also cover the importance of intangible benefits for
ongoing improvement of your strategy implementation, particularly as it relates
to user-generated content, and engagement with social media tools such as blogs,
podcasts, photo sharing, and video. We'll also cover where to incorporate
qualitative information and introduce you to small tool set of analytics, mostly
free, that can help you capture, analyze, and interpret data. You will learn how
to communicate the value of social media to other people in your organization
and pave the way for successful strategy execution.</SPAN></SPAN> </P>
