Beth Kanter’s Summary
I am a trainer, coach, blogger and consultant to nonprofits in the area of effective social media strategy. I have worked on projects that include: training, curriculum development, research, and evaluation. I have expertise in how to use and learn many new web tools (blogging, tagging, wikis, social media, photo and video sharing, etc) to support nonprofit goals. I also have experience coaching "digital immigrants" in the use of these tools. I am a professional blogger and get paid to write about the use of social media tools in the nonprofit sector for social change.
