Report from Groups

Group 1: New Media Group Student Club

[|good guy to follow in Twitter for FB]
 * Lack of communications between members
 * Launch a more aggressive networking ability
 * Primary tools that matched needs
 * Needs: get other users to join Facebook, better time management to participant, get members to understand that there are benefits to networking, that isn't just social
 * New members - overwhelming at first. A lot of members struggle with software skills. Will have more group tutorials to help students.
 * Get a copy of [|Jesse's book]
 * Some responses from Twitter -

Group 2: New Media Group Student Club


 * To post jobs from outside folks for the students
 * Thought about Twitter, but Linked In might work better - maybe group feature
 * Post by email blog for people to email job listings
 * Problem: potential employers are not computer saavy - artists who need web sites - hire someone who is web saavy
 * Voice to text - Grand Central - use email posting address to blog -
 * Cards that might be best - YouTube for New Media Group, Technorati - look into Twitter to LinkedIn - and either to the Web
 * Twitter response re: [|Grand Central]

Group 3: Promoting Gallery Events

Increasing visibility of events Increasing web presence Metric: Better attendance, creating rec. links to arts groups in the area, capturing emails for audience
 * Starting a blog for the gallery on word press - a forum to promote events and link to college site which is static. The blog part is dynamic. Link to outside artist site - get around policy issue. Been curating gallery for a long time, wanted to do a historical retrospective. Get artists to upload photos in Flickr. Lectures are video taped - use ITunes for college - distribute on the blog
