Social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, provide governments with the ability to explore new ways of working and shifting communication patterns. Because these sites are available to government offices and citizens with internet access, they add valuable audio, video and interactive capabilities without substantial upfront costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, just because cost is not a major consideration to a government entering into the world of social media, does not mean that there aren\u2019t other important considerations that need to be considered prior to establishing a social media presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course will provide an overview of social platforms and how government entities use those platforms; the records management aspect of social media; unique challenges associated with capturing and disposing of social media content; how to manage and respond to citizen interactions with government social media; and the balancing act of being both public employee and private citizen on social media. At the conclusion of the training, we\u2019ll test your knowledge of what you\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSocial Media: The Records Management Challenge\u201d online training is for use by state and local government officials and employees. The training will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes. The content was created by the Ohio Electronic Records Committee through grant funding provided by the Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: Each unique registrant will be able to print a certificate of completion from BuckeyeLearn.
