At the 2013 ASTE conference held in Anchorage in late February, my presentation on Writing once, posting to many was one of the sessions in the Distruputing the Institution track. We spend a lot of time online and need to be productive in the ways that we get the word out to our students (or co-workers, other professionals). Sending that message using various social media can help expand your voice and allow the listener to get your message in their preferred social media choice.

In the presentation, I talked about four scenarios: Posting to more than one blog with one post, having facebook, twitter, and linked-in talk to one another automatically, registering for online tools, like Spotify or Thinklink, with your facebook or twitter user accounts, and creating custom connets with online tools like Shareaholic or IFTTT (If This, Then That) to opt into the social media tools that you choose for that occasion.

This was a fun presentation to put together and made me really think about what my web presence looks like and how I can be more productive with my students and professional contacts.
