Project+3+Plan

This video blog is an ideal source for information for this training program because it provides the key information needed to successfully join and navigate through social networks. It combines video tutorials in a way that makes it easy for non-profit organization managers to understand. The videos take the learners through the basic steps and begin at the very beginning of the process since this particular group of learners is unfamiliar with social networks. An activity is required to ensure that learners have grasped the information given on this video blog correctly. The audience will be asked to visit this video blog entitled Social Media Training for Nonprofit Organizations. Learners are to watch each video and complete a set of tasks upon completion. Task # 1 asks learners to simply watch each video. Task # 2, however, asks them to become active by creating Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr accounts and correlating branding and company information. This also requires them to design their Tumblr blog and post Tweets on Twitter. Upon completion of both tasks, learners should have a solid understanding of how these networking sites can be controlled. This video blog will be created using Tumblr.com, the free web blog site that this training program is partially focused on. Research was done to gather eleven video tutorials that provide information about creating an account on each site, navigation throughout those sites, and how to link them all together. The videos were then strategically posted in order for better navigation. An "Activity" post was also created which states the tasks that should be carried out by trainees upon the completion of watching all eleven videos. Professionals will be evaluated upon the completion of all tasks by an external trainer hired by the nonprofit company. This trainer is also a subject matter expert who has gained proficient experience in branding companies through social media and is required for this phase of the program. The profiles that have been created will be evaluated based on three factors: 1) has the profile been successfully created, 2) is the company's image consistent throughout all aspects of each profile, and 3) did learners link the accounts together as the task required them to. Evaluation will be given with advice for any area that requires improvement or revision. Using a video blog is one of the more visually appealing activities to use for visual learners. They provide models and tutorials as well as the awareness of a topic. Video blogs are also often fun and interactive—these are two important factors to integrate into in any online learning program. This blog especially provides a sequences procedure for this group of learners to follow. This is particularly important since this group consists of learners from the baby boomer generation who are just recently beginning to use the internet and social networks.
