Hopefully, many of you know about Government Technology’s annual involvement in digital government summits in various states around the country. I usually try to attend Wisconsin’s each year but was unable to attend in November. Fortunately, via my LinkedIn connection with Amy Moran of the Kaplan Moran Law Office, I discovered she gave a presentation on Social Media and Public Records. Amy’s presentation and one given by Lori Ashley of Tournesol Consulting on Records Retention and New Media will likely be posted on the Wisconsin Digital Government Summit site soon. In the meantime, I’m sharing their cited references with fellow AACPM members and within an upcoming Wisconsin Society newsletter. The newsletter will be available at www.wscpm.org on our Newsletters and Reports link. One reference is “How Federal Agencies Can Effectively Manage Records Created Using New Social Media Tools.” This social media article is posted on www.businessofgovernment.org. They also reference an article on social networking sent to agency administrators by the Wisconsin Public Records Board last fall. As soon as this one becomes available, I will cite it on my blog at www.tech-public-ed.blogspot.com.
As we continue our personal quests to become more effective users of social media in the public sector, please consider looking up other AACPM members on LinkedIn. Join those of us who are already members of the LinkedIn Group, American Academy of Certified Public Managers®. (Yes, we need to be more involved in that group.) Share your thoughts and ideas. Both the Government 2.0 and Technology Integration in Education Groups, of which I am a member, have a lot of activity.
Cathy Williquette (via Skype), Kathy Skiera and I presented “Web 2.0 Tools” at the recent AACPM Conference in Oklahoma City. This presentation is accessible to everyone from www.tech-public-ed.blogspot.com/2010/10/web-20-in-government-our-presentation.html. Some of our fellow AACPM members are further along in their knowledge of and use of Web 2.0 than others. Don’t worry about that – we all have to start someplace. Check out my blog; more is coming soon. Let me know if I can help you.
Meanwhile … “May Web 2.0 Be With You!” |
