Web2 Training Workshop at CSIR-INSTI

The CSIR-INSTI in collaboration with FAO and CTA is organising a one week (15-19 April 2013) workshop for partcipants drawn from diverse organisations and backgrounds. The main Facilitator for the workshop is Mr. Justin Chisenga from the FAO Regional Office for Africa. The workshop took participants through the World Wide Web (Web2.0) Social Media. It was the first time some of us have a hand on practice on how to tweet. The Twitter could be used for professional networking, reputation management and personal learning among others. Organisations could also use it for promoting events, disseminating news, engaging with customers and many more.We were also taken through Micro-blogging using twitter. It was apparent that there were a lot of opportunities that some of us were missing. Blogs could also be used as personal website and a good way of sharing knowledge in an organisation.The social media could be used for development, income generation, become more visible as an organisation. I am sure at the end of the workshop very useful lessons would be learnt and would be put to good use.
I am most grateful to the organisers of the workshop for accepting me to participate.
