“T3: Tech, Tools, & Tips on Web 2.0 / Social Media”

About the Workshop:

The Houston Arts Alliance presents a follow-up series of workshops on the MetLife Foundation Arts Forum Series on the RENGEN.  The goal of these workshops is to teach non-profit organizations and individual artists about new technologies and how to use tools to maximize productivity, build capacity, and develop audiences.

The series of workshops – T3: Tech, Tools & Tips – will cover three (3) broad categories:

Workshop 1.1  |      Web 2.0 & Social Media Primer

Workshop 1.2  |  Work Your Online Networks: MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Workshop 1.3  |  The Blogosphere & Micro-blogging

To complement the workshops, a website will be developed to serve as both a “best practices” case study and as a promotional tool for the T3 Workshop Series.
