Primer Aims

In this Primer we aim to:

• Help you think about social media in a different way -- as another tool for social interaction (the heart of community life!).
• Offer three primary purposes for social media practices in coalition-based prevention work.
• Provide tools and resources for planning and using different types of social media
• Introduce you to the basic tools across the social media world -- and show you ways to use them.
• Bring you into the world of "folksonomy" and show you how easy it is to use the structure beneath social media to keep you connected across the virtual community.
• Assist you in measuring your social media impact, and connect those metrics to broader coalition goals.
