Technology- Resources for Keeping Up to Date

Current and emerging web technology allows organizations to communicate their messages very efficiently, especially when compared to traditional media. Of course, when considering their target audiences, many organizations need to use a blend of communication strategies, including web, print, television, radio and other options, in order to tell their story effectively.

Keeping up to date with new web communication options can be a challenge, but there are many resources available which can help. Here are a couple:

1) YouTube- (www.youtube.com)- just type in the name of what you want to learn about along with the words “how to” or “training” or “instruction” (e.g. twitter training, blog how to), and

2) Common Craft- (www.commoncraft.com)- see the bottom of their homepage for free explanatory videos on tech topics including titles such as “RSS in Plain English” and “Twitter in Plain English.”

You can also subscribe to short tech audio podcasts from “How Stuff Works” via iTunes. To access the podcast, just click on the title to this post, scroll down to “What’s Hot,” click on “Podcasts,” and then click on “TechStuff.”
