New Tools for Outreach and Engagement

“In the Beginning...”

What does “Web 2.0” mean?
![Page 4: Sea Grant: New Tools for Outreach and Engagement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051707/58ed0e891a28abfd618b4625/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
is an abstract term for using the web to create community, dialogue, and interaction.
Lev Grossman explains:It's a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before.
It's about the many wresting power from the few, and helping one another, for nothing, and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes.
Web 2.0

Communication to our audiencesused to be one-way,
now they want to talk back.
![Page 6: Sea Grant: New Tools for Outreach and Engagement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051707/58ed0e891a28abfd618b4625/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
They don’t just want to talk back- they bring a web of friends, colleagues, and like-minded strangers with them to
participate in the dialogue.
It’s a big dynamic collaboration - it’s social networking!
Social networking is talking to people where they are and finding out
more about them.
![Page 7: Sea Grant: New Tools for Outreach and Engagement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051707/58ed0e891a28abfd618b4625/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Sounds like a relationship, doesn’t it?
![Page 8: Sea Grant: New Tools for Outreach and Engagement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051707/58ed0e891a28abfd618b4625/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why do we want to participate in social networking?
![Page 9: Sea Grant: New Tools for Outreach and Engagement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051707/58ed0e891a28abfd618b4625/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
We are scientists, educators, and most of all ENGAGED people
“Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.”Chinese Proverbs quotes
If we can reach peopleand help them understand the world we share
EVERYTHING gets better...

“O.K., fine. What’s social networking?”
![Page 11: Sea Grant: New Tools for Outreach and Engagement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051707/58ed0e891a28abfd618b4625/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

WOW
![Page 13: Sea Grant: New Tools for Outreach and Engagement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051707/58ed0e891a28abfd618b4625/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What do those numbers mean?
What are people doing, looking for, or getting from
their social networking activities?
Is social networking a casual or intensive activity for us? Is it
marketing, relationship building, one-way, two-way, outreach?
![Page 14: Sea Grant: New Tools for Outreach and Engagement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051707/58ed0e891a28abfd618b4625/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Those are critical questions that we will be looking at together...
![Page 15: Sea Grant: New Tools for Outreach and Engagement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051707/58ed0e891a28abfd618b4625/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Are we doing any of this?
Yes! Oregon Sea Grant has a presence on
all the major social networks.

Twitter: Rick Cooper "tweets" each entry in Breaking Waves. The Twitter feed is also fed to OSG's FaceBook Page, so we're reaching three different audiences with one post.

We have a foot in the door,
One of our team, Rob Emanuel, has given this a lot of thought, and is really exploring
its potential....
But we can open it wide -

What value does this have to my client base?
When personal interaction is required, the National Extension Brand report displays disconnects between what our clients and the general public say (statistics for those who are very likely to):
However, once online, the differential between what our clients and the public say become small (again, those who are very likely to):

What does it mean?Between March 1st through August 24th of last year, H2ONCoast had about 28,000 visits and 38,000 page views, making it the third most popular blog on the OSU blogs server.
Not bad, but what does that really mean?

Who are these people we are talking to?
It would be nice to know more about themWhat they Think How they Learn
And what they Care about
The Visitor Center and Free-Choice Learning
![Page 35: Sea Grant: New Tools for Outreach and Engagement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051707/58ed0e891a28abfd618b4625/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
We are asking those questions at the Visitor Center.
And we are developing a Free-Choice Learning lab that will use technology tools to help us find
answers.
The evaluation tools will be integrated into exhibits, classrooms, and outdoor spaces

Where did they go next?
How long did they stay?What did they do while they were there?

Did the visitor take any language with them to the next
exhibit?
“Fish, stop touching me, my turn, Crab, cool, invasive
species”
“Hungry, Crab, Tsumani, Wave, yuck, don’t call me
invasive”

...and switch to bi-lingual content.
