As well as 16 short Twitter stories in 5-20 Tweet threads.
Sales to #Cmgr
In 2010 I realised that my current skill set of traditional sales and marketing were becoming less and less effective or welcome in the education/EdTech space.
Since then I have been reskilling to include the more in-demand skills of content marketing, inbound marketing, social selling and community management.
Since finding out about the #Cmgr community (Community Management) in 2014 thanks to a quick Tweet from @TameraRV during BETT, I've done my best to follow the CMAD business objective of
"Our business objective, if you will, in hosting these 24 hours of panels is to reach as many people as possible to educate them on the community industry"
In Scotland and within my education network.
#Cmgr Support
I have done this in a number of ways including
1) Supporting educators with EdChats (#UKFEChat, #StartUpEduChat/#EdTechBridge) and projects that were important to them (#SaveEdShelf, #DigCitSummit, #Get2ISTE, the CMAD inspired #CEduAD).
2) Research and data curation
3) Attempts at knowledge transfer
Ideas that are 100% sound but not ready yet require explanation, but the first time it's suggested the posts are too long and/or the idea is too abstract... only for it to be beyond obvious a few years later that it doesn't need any explanation.
This has happened with most projects. In November 2015 I suggested a #BlackFriday for education... 4 years and three attempts on the idea got traction on Friday and I've no doubt it will take off in 2020.
Last June I suggested an EdTech incubator with a strong #Cmgr provision... and feel this idea is also closer to getting traction.
The third point above has also proved to be tricky... Educators are time poor and there's no easy way to either
1) Convince people that what you have to say has value or to
2) Encourage them to read 100+ articles
My first attempt at this was with curating this Community Manager Resources Community Manager Resources.
My second attempt was in February when we created the #SeaTurtlePirates hashtag.
The hope here was to share a little about our experiences with building edu movements, and share resources we found useful in a way that adults and children (Whether teachers and students or parents and children can learn about building movements together... Especially quiet people who don't have a voice).
It was no easy feat to try to make the thread make sense whether scrolling up or down and attempting to make the links relevant to adults and kids, but the feedback has been positive.
The third attempt was via this thread which consists of 16 stories/threads that are made up of 5-20 Tweets.
This latest attempt has been to look for the 'bright spots' and, in this case has come from the unlikely source, the unholy Bannon/Trump alliance... They have demonstrated how you can get ideas to 'stick' on social media.Thank you Steve!
Articles relating to the early online community The Well like Howard Rhiengold's Virtual Communities, Marc Smiths 'Voices from The Well' and the Epic Saga of The Well feature regularly in the hashtags and stories below... as does 'How Superman Defeated the KKK'
These articles, along with story telling, the ability to edit and community building hold the key to the last two goals that we are exploring...
1) Seeing a return to The Well's mantra of YOYOW (With a #YOYOWJOI twist) and
2) Answering Tim Berners-Lees call to fight #ForTheWeb
Can't see the bickering 'lying' political classes doing either any time soon... can you?
