Tuesday: Toronto; Wednesday: Edmonton; Thursday: Calgary; and Friday: Back to Winnipeg.
Phew!
I was very fortunate to be invited by NSI Totally Television's program manager Brandice Vivier to speak to her students in Toronto last Tuesday. And I was equally fortunate to be asked by the National Film Board (NFB) to present two workshops on social media in Edmonton and Calgary last week.
I'm totally pooped.
The NSI Totally Television folks were wonderful. Full of enthusiasm and an appetite for information. Wow, do we have some talented people in our training programs.
Each NFB workshop was four hours but immense fun. I tag teamed with NFB's Matt Forsythe - an incredibly smart and talented guy that I also learnt from.
What we saw were some extremely passionate and enthusiastic content creators super keen to get started with social media tools. We saw light bulbs going on and a genuine willingness to understand the social web.
There were also lots of newbies who I think came away with even more questions.
Matt and I chatted after each session and agreed that if nothing else, getting folks thinking and talking about using the social web to build an audience is crucial to greater understanding.
Thank you to everyone that attended the workshops in Edmonton and Calgary and thanks to the NSI Totally Television students who listened to me preach the word of the internet to them.
