Change the World Using Social Media

In this story-driven handbook to using social media to foster collaboration and positive change, people using social media describe how those tools work and how they have used social media to produce positive transformations within their extended communities. Starting with an overview of what social media tools provide, Signorelli interviews a variety of social media users to show how social media tools can be quickly learned and easily adapted to produce small- as well as large-scale changes when used effectively in conjunction with other collaboration resources and tools. The result is an engaging handbook that takes us into the minds and hearts of some of our most creative colleagues, shows us how they think and work, and helps us see easy ways we can incorporate the examples they provide into our own work to create stronger, more creative, positive results when addressing the myriad challenges we face in our communities. By the time you finish reading this book, you should be able to decide which social media tools will be most effective for you, immediately begin using those tools to reach your goals, and be one large step closer to changing your world.
