If you are an IHBC member who is keen on social networking, and are attending the Norwich annual school, why not volunteer to join in with the digital storytelling activities around the school, documenting your experiences and sharing them; it’s great experience for your profile and even as CPD!
Last year the IHBC piloted digital storytelling at the Edinburgh school, and created resources that shared the outputs of attendees. This year we plan on doing that too, and more, and would love you to join in.
Alison McCandlish, IHBC’s NewsBlogs consultant will be on hand to help you out during the school, and we would like to share.
Some examples of what you could do include:
- Tweet something from the conference presentations
- Use the annual school ‘hashtag’ (#) to comment on your experiences #IHBCNorwich
- Volunteer to take part in a video, speaking about how you are finding the conference experience
- Video some of your tours then upload to YouTube or Vine
- Take photographs whilst exploring Norwich
- Interview a colleague and post it on Audioboom/ Soundcloud (then perhaps tweet it using #IHBCNorwich, or email the NewsBlog team at newsblog@ihbc.org.uk so we can share it)
- Update your LinkedIn profile with conference highlights and join in discussions on IHBC’s LinkedIn group
- Add to the IHBC’s Facebook Timeline
- Like and share things which people post online
- Write a blog about your time at the summer school
- make new heritage professional connections virtually as well as in person.
For ideas and examples from last year, have a look at the ‘Storify’ summaries containing member contributions from Edinburgh and Orkney.
