STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],For starters, look at all the people there! flickr.com/photos/-cavin-

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],Over 400 million people In fact...

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],... half of whom login everyday .

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],(How many people come to your website everyday?)

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],The average user visits 4 times per day!

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],“ OK. Yep. Those are some pretty big numbers. But what do they mean exactly?”

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],Well, for one thing it means that has become the most popular website in the U.S.

NATIONAL DISSEMINATION CENTER – ANALYTICS ,[object Object],(Yep. Bigger than )

NATIONAL DISSEMINATION CENTER – ANALYTICS ,[object Object],“ And? Aren’t these people just getting their social on?”

NATIONAL DISSEMINATION CENTER – ANALYTICS ,[object Object],True. Many users are using to connect with friends and family. But they’re doing a lot more…

NATIONAL DISSEMINATION CENTER – VA PRC 2009 They’re sharing…

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],More than 5 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) shared each week !

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],In fact, just recently overtook as the top source of traffic to major news and entertainment websites.

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],Wouldn’t you like it if they shared information about you ?

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],One simple measure is to count your “ fans .” If you find a Page you like, go ahead and click the “Like” button. You’ll be added to the Page as a “Fan,” and you’ll automatically receive updates when the new posts are added. facebook.com/nichcy

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],Another way is to look at your Page’s “ Insights .”

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],also sends weekly updates to your email address which provides useful information such as number of visits to your Page.

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],Of course, one of your objectives for establishing your Page in the first place may have been to increase traffic to your organization’s website. This is easy to measure, simply look at your sites analytics to see how many visits came from . (NICHCY’s traffic from has increased by over 200% over the past year. Similarly, since we posted our enews sign-up on our Page, subscribers have increased by more than 30%)

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],You can also ask yourself if your Page has enabled you to reach new audiences . (NICHCY has found that 20% of “fans” learned about us because they noticed one of their “friends” had become a fan.

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],And hey, because is so social, you can ask your fans directly about their experience using your Page. We did, and this is some of what we learned…

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],“ I work for an SEA and when I see something worth sharing with colleagues or LEAs I'll forward it.” “ I had frequently visited the website to share information with my students (I am a university professor). Now seeing you on FB reminds me of the website.” “ After reading articles and research, I often read reactions to assess how I can improve and incorporate best practice ideas to meet the needs of the students in my district. By bringing back what I have read to my district, I am able to work with colleagues to make change. For example, I have created a digital workgroup with resources discovered through social media. OCALI.org and the autism internet modules.” “ I work at CPAC, the CT PTI and I use various FB resources to stay current and informed.”

STATE DEAF-BLIND PROJECT DIRECTORS ,[object Object],“ I have shared several of your stories with others whom I thought would be interested. I think this is a fantastic way to spread information. We are doing it for the RERCs on Telerehabilitation, Spinal Cord Injury and Wheelchair Transportation Safety. It is amazing how much information the disability community can share through social media. Keep up the good work!” “ We have three PTI grants . We constantly use the info from NICHCY and other disability-related organizations and individuals on various social media sites to help people with disabilities and their families. NICHCY's twitter page is why I joined twitter - it completely transformed my thinking of how to use social media. With so many organizations, groups, and just folks linking together in various ways, the amount and quality of info that we are able to share with families has skyrocketed - and we had plenty of good info before. Thanks for the great work and keep it up!” “ I have shared the information with parents of children with disabilities on my organization's social media outlets”
