Notes de l'éditeur
Reference – Deck from slide share
This is what a subscription to the TMI channel looks like on our club YouTube page.
To do this you have to experiment. In all experiments, what doesn’t work is just as important is what does work. Experiment with the different tools so you understand how they work. Start slowly and pick a tool to try after you get a basic understanding of what they can do. You need to become the expert in your club so you can help others. Get them excited to try social networking.
Type in “how to” in Google and you’ll get all sorts of media to help you use social networking.
