How to read FB stats

Responding on social media

Google Analytics primer

And here are my notes from the first meeting of the Social Media Hui. There was a presentation from Neenz Falafine about building relationships. She says the most important things for SM are:
-authenticity
-art of the story

 Neenz definition of social media: “the use of technology to communicate and collaborate with people across the globe to build a community rich in culture.”

She describes how social media should work: 
receiving feedback, collaboration (power of getting things to move; mediating with policy, setting up boundaries), must be two way, then it becomes a culture (eg, virtual mancave of slimjim on twitter)
-culture: building comfort, making people feel like they belong, psychology of sharing (bringing value and entertainment; defining ourselves to others (contentwise); relationships (keeping in touch); self-fulfillment; marketing (incorporating these elements)

What are the types of people who use social media? 
-Altruist (forwarding emails)
-Careerist (linkedin for stepping stone)
-Hipster (those who get social media and comfortable sharing)
-Boomerangs (post to wait for reaction; people who live in the comments section—do not engage, but internally decide if what they say is valid and take care of it if so, thank and see if there’s anything else)
-Connectors (groupon, living social, things that are going on—planning an event around your event)
-Selectives (prolly 90% of internet; email primarily, lurkers, share only once trust is gained)

How do we gain trust in social media? 
-Move-in (link to policy “If your post is not related to this subject… it may be deleted” and have screen capture), office hours, expectations for page, fb hours)
-Listen (give them info that they find valuable—listen to find out, read: Google Analytics)
-Being neighborly (liking other internal pages)
-Increase property value (provide value, make everyone else’s online real estate more valuable)
-Be good to each other

Being ALIVE in social media (Analytics in the creation of schedule, Leverage for valuable pages, Ideate to decide what to say, Value=publish, Engage-identify top fans, respond by first names)
-increasing the percentage of engagement (shares, likes, comments), not the number of likes/fans
-1% is a great clickthru rate on fb

Things that work: photos with engaging subtitle, asking questions to get stories from others, stories tied to photos, be brief.

Some questions for us to consider:
1. how do we make our employees feel they belong? Our students?
2. getting people to share
3. who is our #1 fan? Those 5-10 people are the people you want to build relationship with, who will reshare for you
4. expectations for fb/social media pages
5. get other ks’ facebook pages—being neighborly
6. one day of the week for polls, funny stuff, memories, etc
                -business for another day of the week?
7. editorial calendar quarterly, half a year? KS-wide maybe
8. use twitter to push to somewhere else; use fb to pull in engagement; youtube for how-to
9. use the online tool for the objectives you want to achieve

10. use of hashtags

Scratch - OWAU discussion 10/28

By Anonymous
Aloha kākou, I while back, I learned about this product from a presentation at the eSchool conference. The speaker was so excited about Scratch and was having so much fun demonstrating it that my mind began racing immediately. "I could use it in `Ike Hawai`i courses and I bet I could use it to develop tons of activities for the A`o Makua `ōlelo Hawai`i courses". Then, reality set in as I returned to work intending to try it out after I finished my "next" task. Well, you know how that goes. 7 months later, I finally took a stab at it out of necessity of course. I really wanted some type of activity to teach my students about different Kapu in old Hawai`i without having them just read a list of them. So, what it Sratch? Simply put, it's a developer's tool (a very inexpereinced developer like myself). It allows you to create activities and games using "coding" that is in a drag and drop format. The codes are pre-written & range from phrases like ...

Geotagging

By
A "wouldn't it be nice" idea that's been around a while is the ability to tag a map with images that are linked to more information about the site. Kelly C suggested it as a way for students to share knowledge about a cultural/historic site or the geographic area they live in with classmates. (right, no addresses!) There are now cameras and even storage media that embed latitude and longitude into images as they are shot. But you don't need fancy new toys to do this. I tried Flickr's geotagging map and it's fun and supereasy. Want to try it? Log in to Flickr http://www.flickr.com Sign in as " techedine " password " wist101 " yea, corny. Click the " You " tab then the " Your Photostream > Map " or Organize > Your Map links. Click the Satellite link in the upper right. Cool view! (you may need Google Satellite downloaded). Images along the bottom of the screen with colored dots have already been droppe...

Papa Kuʻi ʻai a me Pohaku

By
As part of our huakaʻi last month to Papahana Kuaola and the opportunity to work in the loʻi, I wanted to continue that thought by sharing my experience of making a papa kuʻi 'ai (poi-pounding board). In 2008 with the encouragement from me and my co-worker, Pili Wong, Earl Kawaʻa offered to teach a papa kuʻi ʻai papa to those of us that were interested in learning what our kūpuna did as a daily way of life. For our kūpuna they had loʻi in their yards and grew their own kalo, the major source of starch in their diet. They steamed it and pounded poi or kept it whole and sliced it and ate it like bread with butter or condensed milk. Kawaʻa was very specific on our kuleana and the commitment he required of us. Our first task was to find an au koʻi (handle) for our koʻi (adze tool). I found myself suddenly looking up at every tree I saw looking for the right branch for my koʻi. My husband found mine at a jobsite from a Haole Koa tree otherwise known as ...
