>>Good afternoon.
At this time I would like to welcome everyone
to the Social Media Monday Flickr conference call.
Our lines will remain open for the duration of the call.
If you experience any background noise and wish
to mute your line you may do so by pressing star six
on your telephone keypad
and star six again if you wish to speak.
Thank you.
I would now like to turn the call
over to Ms. Suzanne Knizner.
Please go ahead ma'am.
>>Hi this is Suzanne Knizner.
I just want to thank you for joining us
for the Social Media Monday event.
We will be focusing on Flickr today.
Again my name is Suzanne Knizner
and I will be facilitating this call along
with Danielle Ricks and Michelle Bond.
Before we get started I do have some nitty gritty stuff
to go though.
And let's see, if you have any trouble
with either your internet or your phone connection
for this call please just call in or log in as you did
when you first called in and the number that you received
in your confirmation email.
And if you want to make a note of the call
in number right now, it's 1-877-297-9359.
I do want to let people know
that we will not be muting the lines unless it's necessary.
But if you would like to mute your individual lines
by pressing star six that is perfectly fine.
And you can press star six again to unmute
when we have our discussion period.
The one thing that we do ask people is to not put us on hold.
Sometimes there's background music on your line
and while that's lovely we don't want it as part
of today's presentation.
And last but not least in our nitty gritty section,
please note that this Webshop is being recorded
and will be available Vista Campus Social Media Monday Web
page along with the archive of previous Webshops.
Also any links that are discussed during this
presentation will be available at the end.
Right now I'm going to welcome Michelle Bond
to help lead this presentation.
>>Thank you Suzanne.
Welcome everyone.
We're really excited having you here.
This is our first Social Media Monday Webshop of 2010
so we're excited to get going here.
As Suzanne mentioned, my name is Michelle Bonds.
We're all with Campaign Consultation and work closely
with [inaudible] forces training and outreach projects.
And we're delighted to also have Elizabeth Matthews,
Vista Alumni outreach specialist with us today
and also Danielle Ricks who is our Social Media specialist here
at Campaign Consultation.
And I would just like to turn it over to Liz Matthews
to welcome everyone here on the call.
>>Thanks Michelle.
Hi everyone.
This is Liz.
We certainly appreciate you taking time out of your busy day
to join us for the call.
And hopefully you've participated in some
of our other Social Media Monday calls.
We've found that these have been a really helpful tool
as social media becomes even more of an important tool
for you all in connecting with each other
and supporting the programs that you're working with.
So today we're excited to focus on Flickr
and hopefully you will walk away with a better understanding
of how Flickr works and how you can use it
to promote the mission of your program.
And some of you may already be familiar with Flickr
in a [inaudible] capacity because of the V is For Campaign
that we have up there that encourages you to take a photo
of yourself and perhaps other Vistas are serving with
and in front of some interesting backgrounds and sort
of giving your take as to what V is for.
And of course if yours is the most creative entry then you
will win a Vista hoodie, so that's pretty exciting.
And you can look for that in the Vista Viewfinder
that we have every month, our e-newsletter.
So we'll go over that group [inaudible] later in the call,
see if you can see that if you're not familiar
with V is For already.
So again, excited to have you here and Michelle I'm going
to turn it back over to you.
>>All right Liz, thanks so much.
And as was mentioned hopefully some of you have been able
to join us for our past Webshops
for the Social Media Monday series but for those of you
who are new to us just a brief overview
of the Social Media Monday series.
These Webshops are really meant to address social issues
that [inaudible] relevant to the work
that you're doing in national service.
So for members, sponsors, community readers
and even alums what we really aim to do,
we've had [inaudible] sessions so far is to give you a hands
on access to some of the applications that we use
in our everyday lives and to feature how we might use them
for our social change initiative both
as the servers and as the supporter.
And wherever possible we have technology experts available
and also really try to get Vistas involved so that,
you know, you can speak to one another
about how things have been working for you in the field
and also get feedback on, you know,
some ways to try [inaudible].
So and we hope you walk away here with some new skills
and of course we're always looking to improve the work
that we're providing to you so we'll be sure to ask
for your feedback a little later on but.
As I said, welcome to the Social Media Monday,
we're glad you can join us and especially
if it's your first time around.
Now I'll turn it over to Danielle Ricks
who is our social media specialist to get us going.
>>Hi guys, thanks so much for joining us.
We're going to go over the agenda right now.
We're going to introduce first our Vista guest and we're
so excited to have them here, they're both,
one is a [inaudible], one is an alumni
and they're both [inaudible].
And then go in this Webshop go over how
to create a Flickr account.
The New York Times reported today
that there are 40 million Flickr users so we want to be
out there amongst that crowd.
We'll just, we'll give you tips on using the Flickr page,
we'll talk about how to organize your photos,
we'll talk about how to connect with others on Flickr
and [inaudible] on Flickr
and then we'll save some time towards the end
for questions and answers.
And now I'm going to turn it over to Michelle who's going
to walk you through our poll.
>>Thank you [inaudible].
Great. So as Danielle mentioned we'd just like to get a poll
so everyone we've got
on the call here how you're using different social media
applications particular to photos,
how you're sharing your photos and what you're using,
photo sharing sites [inaudible] Flickr [inaudible].
So if you would just take a couple minutes to fill
out the poll that's on the bottom right hand portion
of your screen and hit submit and we'll be sure to return
to those results a little bit later on so we can make sure
that we're hitting all the right places as we go
through the session today.
[ Silence ]
All right then.
And as Danielle mentioned we are really excited to have both
of [inaudible] with us today.
We'll have Rick's story who's the Family
and Consumer Science --
>>Michelle?
I'm sorry to interrupt.
If you haven't muted your line
by pressing star six, please do so now.
We can hear some background noise from your office.
Thank you.
>>Thank you, thanks again.
So welcome Rick and we're glad to have you with us.
>>Thank you, nice to be here.
>>And we also have Jason Stat [assumed spelling]
who is a Vista alumnus and also training officer
with the corporation.
Hi Jason.
>>Hey everyone.
>>Thanks again to both of you for being with us today.
And we're going to get started with Rick here
and Jason will be available throughout the session
as well mostly answering your questions on the chat
and then a little later on sharing some of his findings
and [inaudible] with Flickr towards the end
of the discussion here.
>>So we can ahead and [inaudible] slide
and Rick can you just let us know where you're serving
and what your title is please?
>>I'm a Family and Consumer [inaudible] with Vista and I'm
in Camden County Georgia out of the University of Georgia,
Woodbine County Extension program.
>>Fantastic.
And you are very active on Flickr [inaudible]
that you're joining us because you are a shutterbug
and an uploader bug and we love that.
Give us an idea of how you use Flickr.
>>I [inaudible] I think Flickr is probably one of the best ways
to store and sort and search other peoples photos
and share my photos online.
>>And how should Vistas use Flickr
in this particular digital space?
>>I think, I think it's a great tool to share photos
with other Vistas and not only other Vistas, they're people
that look at the various [inaudible] on Flickr,
they look at the Vista group
and people can see what Vistas are doing if they post pictures
that are interactive with the service.
You know, they say a picture is worth a thousand words and,
you know, whether you're just flashing the V sign
or you're sharing some of your photos of your Vistas co-workers
in action, it's a great way.
I love to see the faces of some of the Vistas
that I've run into in the past.
>>Now I know that this is a loaded question
and an obvious one but what is the first step a Vista to take
when they do start their Flickr?
>>Well I think when they start their Flickr account
of course you find out it's free and one
of the first things I did was fill out my profile.
You can put as many or as much on it as you want
and let people [inaudible] members can look at your profile
so they know who you are.
But normally you start posting your pictures
and uploading them to your photo stream.
>>Okay that's great.
Now we're going to go to your Flickr page
so let's advance the slide but actually what we're going
to do is turn over right to you because I think a lot of times
when we do these Webshops the best way to explain
to people what we're doing is to actually do it in real time
so that they can see exactly what we're talking about Rick.
So we're going to turn right over to you and then
if you wouldn't mind sharing your desktop with us.
>>Okay.
>>And in the meantime I'm not sure
if we have the results of the poll yet?
I'm going to turn these over to you
and then we'll get back to that.
[Inaudible] Vista?
>>Yeah I've been in desktop,
my photo wouldn't share and nothing is right.
>>All right, you're okay.
>>Well here it comes, here it comes.
>>[Inaudible] you have the power.
>>All right, oh God, I love it.
Okay can you see my photo stream?
>>It's loading now.
>>Okay.
>>We see it.
>>Okay this is my photo stream that has lots of things on it
that are not necessarily Flickr related.
Right now I've got a bunch of things
from our trip to Portugal.
But if you'll look over on the right hand side,
you'll see some thumbnails [inaudible] that I have made up.
These are sets are things that are kind of like, like subjects
and over here the second one down is the Vista set
for the [inaudible] orientation that myself
and about 150 other Vista members went to on November
of '09 and [inaudible].
So if you click that once, if you left click it once what
that does is it brings up that set.
And it brings it up basically in thumbnails.
Also I, went you create a set you can put some information
on here which I've done and you can put as much
or as little as you want.
But are all the photos in my set.
Now if you want to see a certain photo, you just click it
and it comes up [inaudible] it comes up big and you can see it.
But if you, if you want to look at the whole set you go
up to [inaudible] slide show and this is one easy way to just go
through the whole set.
>>And what I love about this is this is a great way
to archive your experience.
Often times we go through [inaudible] we wish,
we wish we had our camera with us,
we wish we had taken some photos,
we wish we would have some way of telling the story
through the photo and I think this is just a great,
you snapped a lot of photos from, you know,
that young lady walking down the aisle
with [inaudible] still trying to figure out where she's going.
>>That's right.
>>All the way up until lunch time
and I think you have a really nice array of different photos
and different people that were in that experience with you.
>>Thank you, this I did try
to make a story out of these photos.
Probably the people that were not PSA,
you would not recognize it but I'm sure there's 100
and some people that were would recognize,
okay here's registration and everybody getting [inaudible]
over here and they gave us some nice [inaudible]
and some breakfast and lunch and then we split up into groups.
So I was in the blue group and here's part
of [inaudible] things about the group and then we split up later
on into another group towards the end, which is that.
And then we did the final swearing in ceremony
and that's where that is.
But I told all the people and this was kind of neat,
I told all the people at the final swearing
in that I would wait after the swearing and take pictures
of people who wanted to get pictures taken
with their friends and roommates.
And that's what this is and it's, it's really cool.
It's really nice.
>>It really is cool.
>>Yeah.
>>Can you [inaudible] on your photos.
One of the things that I really
like that you do is you do do descriptions
and you do do tags --
>>Okay.
>>And I think that's a great thing
because our memories sometimes fail us --
>>Sure.
>>And we go back and we're like what, who was that?
Where was this?
>>I think I use Flickr a lot.
I've been on Flickr since 2007 and there's a lot of people
that put a photo on Flickr and never say words,
they never say what they're doing
and I think it detracts from the experience.
But I think Vista if you, especially if you're going
to use it for, you know, to put on the Vista group
that you really have to explain a little bit about it
so other people would understand, you know,
what your service is, what's going
on in the picture so forth, so on.
>>And we're going to get to this a little later on
but I just want to ask a question or reiterate.
>>Sure.
>>This is considered a set correct?
What you're showing us is a set?
>>Right.
>>Okay and we'll talk a little bit later
on about how you organize and how you create sets.
But I just want to point that out that you have many, many,
many pictures and one of them happens
to be this particular set and you can see the set
of your Vista [inaudible] 17 through 20, November 2009.
That's one way of keeping track of your photos
because if you just upload them and you don't organize them
in any particular way they can sort of get lost
in the overall storytelling.
>>Right. And you can go to organize and create
and organize your sets.
You can move your pictures around just by,
just by moving them with the mouse for example.
It's very, very easy.
>>Yeah, it's a great thing.
You can just drag and drop.
They make it really easy don't they Rick?
>>Yeah they really do.
There's, okay, there's the thing.
So if I, if I wanted this picture up here all I do is drag
and drop it and then make sure I save it.
So that's real easy.
>>Really easy.
Okay great.
We are going to take [inaudible] back and Michelle is going
to walk us through how to set up an account.
To get started on Flickr obviously you have
to have an account, that's one of the things
that Liz was eluding to a little earlier
so let's grab [inaudible] back from him,
we're going to give rights over to Michelle.
We can advance to slide one,
Suzanne I know you've got a lot, there we go.
[ Silence ]
>>Sorry about that.
I was on mute I think.
>>Great thank you.
>>Thanks Rick.
>>You're welcome.
>>We have a lot of chatter going on over there people interested
in their photos and, and bringing up lots of questions
so I think Jason posted the link to your photo stream
but probably wouldn't hurt to put that in there again
for people who want to take a closer look.
>>Great, thank you.
>>Sure. So for those of you who have not set
up a Flickr account in, yet, excuse me,
it is fairly straightforward and especially
if you already have a Yahoo mail address.
That's, that's basically one in the same with Flickr
and so you'd be able to get started on Flickr right away.
And Suzanne if you can go
over to the next slide we can show you
where you just hit create an account once you're
on Flickr.com but, thank you.
And as you can see there
and remember Flickr does not have an E,
I know that's a common, a common mistake for all of us but go
to Flickr.com, click on the upper right hand corner there
where it says create your account
and you'll be all set to go.
If you do not have a yahoo mail address,
pretty simple to create one.
You can take a look at the next slide and it will show us some
of the instructions for doing that.
One more Suzanne please.
Great, so here's just a screen shot of, you know, typical,
similar to gmail or any other carrier that you have for email.
You just fill out the form and sign up for your email address.
You then get two emails, one would be a confirmation email
that you would have to click to say
that that is your email address
and then the next one would be one to activate your account.
Once those are set up you go back on to Flickr.com
and you will be able to get started right away.
And one of the things it will do is it will have a homepage
for you and, you know, prompt you to start uploading of photos
as a way to get started.
Then just before we get started getting started, you can back
up this one for me, before we get started getting started I
just wanted to take a temperature of the room
and see the poll and figure out, find out from the folks
in the Webshop how you are using Flickr
or if you're using Flickr.
>>Well it looks like 78% of you do share photos online
and that the majority of you are using other photo sharing sites
in addition to Flickr and Smartphone.
And 2% of you are still developing film.
And as a Vista you're using Flickr to the majority looks
to be promote your project, which is great.
Other, there's a smaller percentage
for sharing your experience as a Vista as well
as documenting your service.
>>Great. So I'm really happy to see that a lot
of you are using photo sharing sites.
It makes it a little bit easier as we go through this.
Encouraging you all to use Flickr.
And one of the advantages of this and maybe later on in some
of our other Webshops we'll talk about some
of the other photo sharing sites.
But one of the easy things about Flickr is it does tie
to other social media sites.
I know you're probably sitting there going,
why do I need one more account?
Well one of the advantages of Flickr is you can link it
to your blog, you can also link it to your Facebook page,
you can also link it to a main site if you have it.
And it just makes it really easy
for sharing amongst your other sites.
And I'm sure some other sites do that as well
but with 40 million users it's given them a lot of power
to be able to talk to some of these other applications
and some of these other Websites to figure out a way to share.
And also there's application for Blackberry, there's applications
for your iPhone and there's applications
for other Smartphones that make it very easy for you to share.
So there are five simple ways to get started uploading photos.
And one of them is via the desktop application
and that's the one that I use.
It's the easiest one.
And then you can also upload as I said from a cell phone,
your computer via email
and there are also some third party applications
that you can use to upload.
I tend to not use those
but they're absolutely available if you want to.
The first thing you do is you go to the Flickr homepage
and so now if we could turn right over to me,
and there's some instructions there that will be available
for you when this is archived to go back with.
We're going to go ahead and see a demonstration for you
and I don't expect you to remember everything
that I'm saying, that's why you can come back to the Webshop
and back to the document so that you can see the step
by step instructions on how to use this.
So, excuse me just a second, here we go, okay.
And sharing desktop here.
>>[Inaudible].
>>Sue I'm on a Webinar.
>>We can hear that person saying they're on a Webinar.
We are so happy to have you
but if you wouldn't mind hitting star six
and mute your call I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
>>Who?
>>Well now you [laughing] star six [inaudible] star six.
And we'll remind you a little later on to unmute as well
when it's time for Q & A because we do want hear from you guys.
Okay. So here's the homepage for Americore Vista
and this is what will show
up when you finally have created your account and you get
to your home page and every time you log
on there will be different greeting.
This one happens to be I guess it says, how many people,
different people in Spanish so there you go.
They'll be a different one each time.
So this is our homepage.
The next thing I do, I always go to you.
If I get lost or I can't figure out where I am
in Flickr I go back to you.
So that's, this is you.
These are your photos, this is a photo stream,
this is our photo stream.
And so from there we go to photo streams and then
after that they're collection.
And collections are a way for you to take your individual set,
and these are our sets, and place them in a collection.
And it shows up as this mosaic
and this happens to be [inaudible].
And again, I don't expect you to remember everything now,
this will be a part of our Webshop.
These are sets, in addition to sets and we'll go on
and we'll look at some of these, we'll come back out of them
and look at them again.
And this was an event that Michelle and I went to up
in New York with, this is where [inaudible]
to the New York City [inaudible].
I'll back out of it.
Posters and logos which are always fun
for your organization.
And having said that you want to make sure
that you do have an approved logo if your starting up one
for your organization.
I'll do some of our set, not all sets are part of the collection.
You get to decide what you want as part of your collection.
And then there's gallery and I saw some people
in the chat asking about galleries.
Galleries are photos from other people and it's a fun way,
for instance we just saw the photos from Rick
and this is a gallery of some of his photos.
So he joined our group pool and now we have a way
of highlighting his photos from the group pool in our gallery.
And let's take a look at another one.
And you can have up to 18 photos in the gallery.
And it's a just a fun way, this one has 15 in them,
it's a fun way of giving some extra exposure to some
of the people in your group pool.
Okay, okay.
What's a group pool right?
She keeps saying it, what is it?
We have one group pool currently and it's Vista is for.
And basically what you can do is you can have a sub group
of people who are in connection with your organization
or with you as an individual and you were
to give them the ability to upload photos and to be able
to use Flickr as, at their will.
And share their experiences [inaudible].
And you can go in and see that our group pool is V is for,
we have 327 items and these are all of the photos that people
who are a member from our VS4 Flickr pool have uploaded
and of those people there are 125 members.
And Michelle is going to talk to us a little bit about how to get
to this V is for page and we're going to come back out of this
and turn right back over to Michelle.
>>Great, thank you Danielle.
And for those of you who are not familiar with the V is
for campaign this is something that began a couple years ago
with this outreach to really get Vista [inaudible] more connected
with one another and also to, you know, give a [inaudible]
to this outside of the national service community.
So we opened up this pool asking for your photos of what V stood
for for you and so as you can see once you apply
to take a closer look at that photos of people holding
up their V sign with just community members,
people at their service sites,
other Vistas really just having some fun and showing the spirit
of what Vista is all about.
Can you see my screen here?
>>We can.
>>Okay.
>>Who is this?
[Inaudible] a photo on the left hand side.
>>The face behind it, yes.
We also have Jason here on our V is for page but --
>>Jason.
>>So this is the V is for campaign [inaudible]
that is on the Vista Campus.
And for those of you who are using the Vista Campus we hope
that you're finding it useful.
There are a lot of wonderful training resources and places
to connect with other Vistas
and Vista readers here on the Vista Campus.
And for those of you who haven't had a chance to check it
out yet, we really encourage you to do so.
And I can just show you how to get to this page.
If you go to the main Vista Campus homepage, here we are,
and you want to go under Vista.
I'm already signed in.
If you're weren't signed in you'd get prompted to do so
and you can register for an account which is very simple
or you can log in as a guest to, just to take a look
around the site to see what's here.
This is the page where that you'll be taken to
and you can get to the V is for page a number of ways.
But kind of a shortcut here
on the left hand corner is this box, learn about V is for,
highlighting one of our fun photos there as well.
And it takes you back to this page.
And then from this page it can show you the steps
that we're encouraging folks to do at PSO.
You should have received the V pin but it has a little bit
about the campaign and the stories of the V on there
for you and just to help create some
of the [inaudible] what Vista is about for you.
And then you can access the Flickr site right
from this page.
So it should take you right to that full page
that Danielle started up on that.
And then there's lots of other information in there
and as Liz mentioned earlier in the Webshop connected
to the V is for photo submissions we do choose one
winner at random every month.
And that's announced in the Vista Viewfinder too.
You can get your photos in and you can also get a Vista Hoodie.
>>Hey Michelle, if you would [inaudible] just a little
on that page -
>>This one?
>>Yeah. The other thing I wanted to point
out to you guys are there are some discussions going
on so we do post things here and once you join the pool
and you make folks your contacts you can send them an email
and you can connect with them that way.
Or you can come to this discussion board and you'll look
for different things that we're doing in this Flickr space
when we're trying to reach out to you guys
and let you know what's happening
with our photo sharing site.
>>You can also, Danielle, just about that
in the section post an announcement,
so if you don't want to send a message to an individual
but you want everybody who's a member of your group
or your contacts to see a note from you
that you can also do that as well.
>>Great. I will [inaudible] right back [inaudible]
to the presentation.
And we're going to talk about, a little bit more about uploading
and selecting the privacy level for you photos.
And you can make photos private so that they're visible only
to yourself or you can make it visible to you and your friends
and family who are also a member of Flickr.
Or you can make the photos visible to the public.
And anyone who visits the Flickr site will be able to see them.
So I know that some people are concerned about privacy
and we wanted to let you know that there is a way for you
to monitor your privacy on the site.
So now we're at organize which is page 22.
Let's back up some.
There we go.
I'm going to click right back again and then we're going to go
over to Jason and share [inaudible].
How are you doing in the chat room Jason?
Are you okay?
>>I'm doing great thanks.
>>Great.
[ Silence ]
Okay. I have to share the [inaudible], here we go.
Okay. One of the things, we talked, Rick showed you
about how to use the organize so that you can drop and drag.
And we talked about sets and collections.
And one of the other things that I wanted to point out was
when you get into a photo that you want to make sure
that you also set up tags because these tags
down here make it very easy for people to find you photo.
And if you find the chronicle event it makes it a lot
easier [inaudible].
I'm going to go back up here
and also show you another way to share.
This is a photo from our Viewfinder which we're hoping
that all you guys are reading intently.
And this is a photo that we've tagged for various things.
We've already added a description,
it is part of the set, Vista through the years
and you can add a note, you can send this to the entire V is
for group, you can add it to a set and review our set,
you can blog it and send it to a blog.
You can edit it, rotate it, delete it
but the really cool thing in terms of sharing is you can go
down here and send this to a friend
who does not have a Flickr account.
And all you have to do is put in their email address to send it
to them and this is a little note that comes with it
and you can amend it or send that one.
It will send the photo.
What you can also do is set this up for a certain amount of time.
Maybe you don't want them to have access
to this for the next 60 days.
Maybe you only want them to look at it for the next two weeks.
But you can set those privacy settings there.
And you can also bookmark this to Delicious.
I'm not sure how many of you all are using a bookmarking site
but we'll be going over that in a Webshop coming up soon
in case you don't have it or you haven't done it.
But you can log in and you can send that to Delicious as well.
Okay? Great.
And Jason's going to talk
about some other privacy settings I believe as well.
And we're going to go ahead and turn right over to him in a bit.
We're going to go up to slide number 26.
So give us a minute to get back into our presentation.
And I hope you all are using the chat feature
and asking some more photos,
some more questions about photo sharing.
We'll go up to number 26.
How are you doing Jason?
>>Good. Are you ready?
>>Yeah I'm ready.
Can you just give us your title and where you're located?
>>Sure I am training officer e-learning specialist
at the Corporation
for a National Community Service in Washington, DC.
I was a Vista in 1999 at the in Western Maryland
at [inaudible] State University and a Vista leader
at the University of Delaware in 2000.
So we've got a couple
of questions in, in the chat so far.
Most of it has been answered.
I think there was one question around sharing groups in,
I mean sharing specific photos or sets in a group
but I'm not sure of the answer.
And Joe, we might ask you
to clarify your question a little bit and then
if anyone can respond to that,
that might be useful Some people asked what are the best ways
to enable sharing photos
with their volunteers of your organization.
And we went over that I think essentially
with the group pool option.
Somebody else asked about embedding photos
into your Website or your Facebook page.
There's lots of tools, well
on every Flickr photo you can actually grab the photo code
and just paste it into your Website so I'm going to go,
here's some pictures of me, here's from High School
when I was much younger.
I had fun with the scanner recently as you can see.
Here's a picture of me when I was four.
>>Oh.
>>Wasn't I cute.
But here are some photos I took.
I'm planning actually a ten year Vista reunion with some
of my Vista colleagues from ten years ago
and so I scanned some photos into Flickr and uploaded them
so that we could put them on the Facebook group
that we were creating.
But in every photo if you click on all sizes,
you can grab the code here and you can paste
that into your Web page.
And then also, there's our Vista group, weren't we great.
>>Wow.
>>[Inaudible] so hopeful.
>>Right and a lot of them are still involved in service.
Some people are in the National Service field.
So you can grab the photos, embed it in your blog.
Also there are many third party applications
that you can just use which can update is you can put a box
in there and so every time you update your photo stream those
photos get updated on your Website or your blog
or your Facebook page.
And I did a simple search on Google for Flickr embedding
and found some of those that you could use.
A question came up about people working
with user vulnerable populations.
And I encourage anyone who's putting photos of people
on a Website for the public that it's the same way
as if you're putting them in a brochure and distributing it,
you should get image release rights especially with use
or vulnerable populations.
You could also on every photo when you're uploading it,
you can edit the rights.
So you'll see here where it's additional information
on each photo.
And so it tells you what the different rights are.
You can set so that your default is always on or the other.
I meant to set my default to Creative Commons but I didn't
so I have that all rights reserved.
But what I want to do is that means you can use these photos
for non commercial purposes and so people can link to them
in their blogs or on their resources as long
as you attribute the source.
>>And I'm glad you brought that up.
Some of the photos is V is for that we wanted to save
or feature as part of the gallery were not available
because these Vistas had restricted them and that's fine.
And for whatever reason you want to restrict them,
even though you're part of a group pool, the group,
the administrator of that pool does not necessarily have the
right to go grab that photo and put it in a gallery
if you have decided that you simply want it
as part of the pool.
>>Yeah. So you can add those settings
to whatever your additional preference settings are.
If you're only sharing those with friends, or you're sharing
with it with everyone or whatever that may be.
And then I just actually wanted
to highlight two ways an IC nonprofits, I actually,
I think that was most of the question that came in
and we'll have a chance to answer questions vocally
in just a moment when we get to the question and answer period.
But I wanted to highlight two ways
that I saw organizations using Flickr
which I think are really cool ideas that Vistas might be able
to build off in their work.
And I just want to go to my favorites
because I highlighted two photos.
You can also make other peoples photos your favorites
and these are some of my photo favorites.
I was really [inaudible] for a little bit.
So here's one where I've got the Red Cross,
Red Cross chapter was using is, they took a photo of,
took a photo of an emergency preparedness kit with food bars
for one person for three days.
And then they wished they had everything that's in that kit.
Actually what I would have done
which the didn't do is you can add notes.
So you could, they don't have it possible to do this in it
but I would add notes, you know, one, you know, so many liters
of water or one first aide kit, one flashlight
and when you scroll over you would see those notes.
I've heard of Red Cross groups or different groups
that were having people build kits of something, take a photo
and tag everything and then send that to their volunteers.
So their volunteers were building those things at home
or off site so that they knew what exactly needed
to go into these kits.
So it becomes like a job aid or a kit sheet for volunteers.
So I think there's a lot
of different ways you could have different photos
which are active job aids or kit sheets or something like that.
That's just one way I saw Red Cross using it.
Another one is the Humane Society is using photos
to raise awareness on seals and seal hunting.
And I'll wait while my photo is loading here.
I don't know why it's taking a moment.
Here we go.
And so what they did is they ran a competition called the LOL
Seals which is, they posted photos of seals
with their humanesociety.org [inaudible] seal
and had people edit them and put LOL kind of headlines on them.
And they had a competition
and they had everyone put their photos into a set,
into the group pool and then you see that some of these I think,
Burrito is cute, so they had a different ones.
And the goal of that was to raise awareness of seal issues
so they kind of had this fun cute thing that they, you know,
sent out their blog and Twitter and Facebook by people.
Then use the photos to raise awareness for an issue
that they cared about.
And [inaudible] they raised money for a [inaudible] campaign
and also built their networks and their database of people
who were interested in the [inaudible] area.
That's just another way that somebody used the photo to kind
of outreach to their community.
>>That's great.
Can you just, before we turn it over to Q & A we're going to do
that next, can you show us the, the contact feature,
I'm sorry we grabbed right from you a little bit too quickly,
oh did you give it, are you still sharing [inaudible].
>>Yeah I should be, let me.
>>Yeah.
>>All right.
>>I wanted to show people how or if you're using the contacts.
>>So who, who's on my list?
>>Yeah.
>>Well, you know, I do mainly use contacts
for personal friends so a lot
of these people I know in real life.
But some of them are just people that have liked my photos
over time and have added me as a contact.
So then whenever I go to, and I've added them back
like Rick right here, but whenever I go
to my homepage it shows me photos from my,
oh that might [inaudible] but it shows me photos from my contacts
as well in your photo stream.
>>[Inaudible] from Jason.
>>Jason you might want to show them more defined Flickr mail,
this is Rick.
>>Oh, and then Flickr mail as you'll see up here
where my mouse is at the top, I'm signed in
and you can check your mailbox and people can send you mail
and it tells you when somebody added you.
Like somebody recently added a photo of mine to their gallery
and this is my photo, [inaudible] my cat.
I have a fishbowl and my cat likes to hug it so.
And so it ended up going to a, oh I clicked the wrong thing,
it went to a specific gallery that somebody had taken
and this is the way to highlight different peoples photos
and this person had made a gallery
and my photo [inaudible] so anyway.
>>We are going to go to the question
and answer portion of --
>>[Inaudible] I'm going to stop sharing my desktop
and then put my phone on mute.
All right.
>>So we can advance the slide to 27, there we go.
Okay so, for those of you
who have any questions you can unmute your phone with star six
and Jason, Rick, Michelle
and I will be available [inaudible] answer any questions
that you may have or did we cover everything?
Are we just [inaudible] no questions?
>>So this is Joe Hansler [assumed spelling].
A couple times your referenced taking a photo from a group
and making it part of a gallery?
>>Yeah.
>>Are you able to show kind of what that means?
>>I sure can.
Can we rights back over?
And I have to share desktop.
[ Silence ]
Oh, go ahead.
>>While that's happening I think one of the,
this is Michelle, Joe.
I think one of the clarifying points there
that Danielle will show us is there is an in between step
that I didn't mention in my response in the chat which is
that you have to make a photo a favorite first before it can
then go into your gallery.
>>So here are, here's our group pool and let's find something,
you've seen this photo before,
I'm trying to find a photo you guys that's not part
of the pool, let's see [inaudible] part of the gallery.
I've added to the favorites, as you can see that Joe,
and now I'm going to add it to a gallery.
And I can either choose one of these galleries to add it to
or I can create a new one.
I'm going to put test up here.
[ Silence ]
And it's just that simple.
>>And then once you have a gallery, can you do a slideshow
of that specific gallery?
>>I believe so, I don't, let's see.
[ Silence ]
Let's go to our gallery.
[Inaudible].
>>First one down.
>>Yeah I know.
I told you guys that I get lost, I always go to you.
So let's see [inaudible].
[ Silence ]
It doesn't appear so.
>>Huh.
>>What is really cool with about this is
when you have a full one, the fact that this shows up as 18
and a mosaic is really, really cool.
>>So you would have,
you wouldn't have a separate photo stream
in the traditional sense of the word but you would have a link
that just took you to that group of photos.
>>Right. And when I click
on this particular photo it's allowing me to go
to the individual that's part of the pool.
>>Yeah I bet there's probably some kind,
galleries are actually fairly new feature that they just added
and so I bet you that there's probably something in the works
to share [inaudible] gallery.
If not there might already be a third party app out there
that could do that, I'm not sure.
>>Exactly.
Okay? Any other questions?
>>I have one.
This is David Sane [assumed spelling].
Is there a way to tell which tag, sorry --
>>Go ahead David.
>>Okay. Is it possible to tell which tags are most effective
if they because we're not sure which ones we're doing it right,
we work with the foster care [inaudible] so, we're trying
to find the most popular ones.
>>Well these are, well some of this is going to be a seek
and discover kind of thing.
These are our tags and as you can see the bolder ones are the
ones that we use most often.
And then what you want to do if after you started
to add these tags, you can click on them,
see what other people have added with this particular tag.
Another thing you can do is a simple search.
You can search your tag and see from everyone's uploads,
from the contacts or sends groups of other Flickr members
or simply your location and see how
that particular tag is being represented on Flickr.
And then that will give you a good idea whether
or not you wanted to use it.
And, you know, you can create a buzz around it and send start,
you know, the ball rolling with that particular tag.
>>Okay. Can you show me one more time how you found your
tag club.
>>Yeah I went to --
>>Because once you sign in I would definitely encourage you,
yeah, to search what other peoples tags are.
Because search is one of those things that, you know,
you're never really sure what people are looking for
and people put in some weird search terms so.
I would search and see if it's already popular on there.
Like, is somebody using first aid kit all one word
or just first aid and hyphen.
So you can [inaudible] that way.
>>Right and if you see over here where it says,
you are the only person whose used volunteer service
[inaudible] as a tag, so that sort
of let's us know it's popular.
>>That's a pretty specific tag, yeah.
>>Yeah.
>>This is Rick --
>>And if you ever get lost, go to you and then see
where it says, your tags?
And that will bring up the cloud.
>>The more specific, this is Rick,
the more specific your tag is probably the less chances are
people are going to find it.
If you make a more general kind of tag, you can make a general
and then a specific tag, separate tags, but you want
to have a general tag so people can,
when people are searching they tend
to search the maybe general things first.
>>And unfortunately this is one of those things that people put
in and it's like the window of images.
>>Yeah.
>>Hopefully, not for too long probably.
>>This one has the word poverty
and you can see there's 27 uploads using the word poverty.
And I'm surprised, I would have thought there would have been
more to be honest with you.
Any other questions?
>>Hi.
>>Hi.
>>My name is Leanna.
I just have a question.
Is there like a moderator function
when multiple people are sharing together.
Like because my organization works
with a vulnerable population and so is there way to like approve
or reject certain photos if, you know,
say if they did show photos of [inaudible] children
that we working with
and we didn't want those to be on the page?
>>Jason you want to grab that one?
>>Yeah there, there is
if somebody can navigate too many people to the group pool.
Actually if you can hand it over to me I'll be able to do it.
I'll show you.
If you can hand over the rights, I can.
>>Yeah it just takes a second.
One of the things I will say while we're turning this
over that you do administrators and you do have control
over who is going to be the administrator
and how many people you allow to have rights on that page
as your administrator.
And those folks have the opportunity to edit photos.
>>Okay.
>>And you, you do, you want to restrict the right
because you want to make sure
that you're protecting the rights of the people
that you're, the photos that you're uploading.
>>So when you go, if you are the admin for a group pool,
when you go in you'll see groups you belong to
and so this is a list of all the groups I that I belong to.
Mostly [inaudible] go and I like to enter my photos
into different groups.
But groups you moderate will be up there too
and so I'm actually a moderator on the V is for photo group.
But if you go inside, I believe it's in administration,
and oh, that's the wrong one.
[Inaudible] people.
The moderating your group, if you click in there,
there is a way that says would you like to review submission?
You say yes or no.
You can put a posting in it, you can control what kind
of media they can post, you could pick safety levels and so
if you pick you do have to moderate.
That means you'll a queue of photos that are ready,
that you have to upload before they'll enter the pool.
>>Okay thank you.
>>I will say one thing with that Yahoo.
They're getting better and better about their spam.
But I tried to put a link up, a [inaudible] link to get,
to put in the conversation piece right here in this session
to let people know about the Webshop and I guess
because there have been some inappropriately usage
that they wouldn't allow that link to come up.
So they have to be real lengthy because the shorten url
and that's one way that Yahoo is trying to stop the spam
and stop some of the offensive things
that are happening in the state.
We have time for one more question.
Anybody? No, okay great.
Then let's move on to the next slide.
>>This is Sandy Williams [assumed spelling] and I just,
could you talk about pollutions getting media releases
and those kinds of things.
That's the issue I keep coming up against,
less time to figure out how to use photo.
>>Maybe a releases is specifically for Flickr
or media releases in general?
>>Well since we're talking about Flickr.
>>Well I mean your media release for Flickr should be the same
as any other media release that you're [inaudible].
So do you currently use a media release policy for photos
that you might use in brochures or other publications?
>>Well yeah, I've been trying to do that but sometimes it's hard
to collect them and so then I can't [inaudible] any pictures
so I, you know, I'm trying to figure out how
to make that work for me.
>>I would take the picture and then, yeah, I would, you know,
take the photos and figure out which ones you want to use
and then kind of follow up individually
if you have the opportunity to do that.
If you're doing like a big group and you don't work
with the people on a regular basis, have all the use,
mostly you'd need permission ahead of time
from parents and things like that.
So, I mean, yeah I would use I think
that in vulnerable population that the issue
but you should follow the same rules
that you follow in your other.
>>Well this [inaudible] this is just with like,
you know, group meetings and --
>>I don't think that's as big an issue.
I think you can just ask people there at the group.
>>Okay. Thank you.
>>Okay. Michelle is going to walk us
through some tips for your Flickr page.
>>Great, thank you everyone.
And please note also that there will be an opportunity
to continue asking questions
and having the conversation following this presentation both
on the Vista Campus and also on Twitter.
So if you don't feel like your questions are answered
or something comes up as a result, you know,
you can always feel free to ask.
I'm not going to go through all of these right now
because we just touched on most of them.
The one that I will highlight is
at the end there notes and comments.
Jason mentioned on adding notes into the first aide kits
that the Red Cross had theirs.
One way to use it, and I think that Rick also touched
on having the ability to have people comment on your photos.
It's just another way to add in interactivity to those
who they're working with and who are, you know, in the photo
or to help, you know, get extra life to what you're trying
to do with photo sharing.
I also do want to mention that our evaluation is going
to be open there shortly on the bottom right of the screen
and if you would just take a couple minutes to fill
that out we would really appreciate it.
As I mentioned Social Media Monday Webshops are brought
to you once a month and we really do try
to incorporate your feedback on a regular basis.
So take a couple moments to fill that out.
[ Silence ]
A couple of things that came up on the call had to do
with [inaudible] getting permission
for folks you are posting pictures of
and as always we do want to remind you that anything
that you do online is also subject to the same restrictions
that you have offline as a Vista member and particularly around,
you know, you don't want to do any campaigning
for political candidates on your photo stream
or any social media platform.
As always you are representing Vista so, you know,
please be tasteful and appropriate
in the photos that you are sharing.
And Danielle will always remind us to stay safe online.
>>That's right, protect yourself
and your organizations while online.
And there are [inaudible] one of the most important ones,
just keep your passwords in a secure place.
Don't share your passwords with anyone
and then there's some other things.
Never work on a, never use a work account
for you personal use, just put that out there for you.
So that will be available for you in the archives as well
to go over those tips staying safe online.
Michelle's going to walk us
through our Social Media Monday page.
>>Yes for those of you who have joined us in the past and those
of you who haven't as well, we have a Social Media Monday page
that is available on the Vista Campus.
There's a link to that in the resources part
of the presentation and so you'll be able
to view past sessions there, listen to the archives
and also download PDF's of the slides on them should you wish
to use these for training on your own at your site so.
Social Media Monday [inaudible] on the Vista Campus is a place
where you'll also find updated topics and sessions
for the next few months.
>>And so you can continue the conversation
on the Vista Campus, on the Social Media Monday page
that Michelle just talked about.
If you're on Twitter, we'll be using the hash tag, pound,
Flickr no e smm and of course please don't forget
to follow Vista at Vista buzz on Flickr.
And if we didn't get to your questions, here is a chat
or if you know some other people
that may have questions maybe we want to talk about,
the young lady who had a question about the rights,
we can talk about that more in length both on the Campus
and on Flickr so please [inaudible] those two places.
Also these are some of the links we talked about in the Webshop.
There's [inaudible], there's the Social Media Monday Webshop,
The Americore Vista Flickr page,
we hope you will also become part of our Vista pool,
the V is for Flickr page, the Flickr page itself and then
of course the Campus,
more information [inaudible] stay safe online.
And our Vista buzz Twitter link.
>>Thank you everyone for joining us for this session.
Again if you would just fill out the evaluation
if you haven't done so already.
And Social Media Monday's are held at once a month
on the fourth Monday of the month
at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and at the end
of February we'll be discussing YouTube and ways
to broadcast your Vista story using video.
So please join us, please spread the word, please visit our page
on the Vista Campus and, you know, please continue
to have the conversation.
We really, really appreciate your participation
and your feedback.
Thank you so much.
>>Thanks to our guests.
Thanks to everyone who attended and we are done.
We hope you'll take this time again to fill
out the evaluation, let us know how you're doing.
>>Thank you.
>>Thanks Liz.
>>Thank you.
>>Thanks Rick.
>>Thanks.
