Playing the social media game, created by Beth Kanter and David Wilcox and here remixed by Community Media Workshop can help with social media adoption and thinking through how to integrate Web 2.0 tools into your overall communications work. (hint: download the cards here: bit.ly/15IB3g)
20. Goals of the Game There are no winners or losers to the Social Media Game. This game is intended to help you to understand the basic mechanics of the social web and strategize online communications through Web 2.0.
21. HowIt’s Played 30 Social Media Cards in 4 categories: Collaboration, Media Content/Networking, Online Broadcast, and Communication Tools. Each card costs credits. You receive an Objective card. You have 12 credits to spend. Discuss, examine, and choose the tools that best achieve your objective in 10 minutes. You will receive a Situation Card that offers an Opportunity (gain credit), a Dilemma (lose credit), or a Wild Card (more credit to choose another Social Media Card or create your own Social Media Card). Re-strategize using the Situation Card. You are given only 10 more minutes. Present to the group your objective, situations and strategy on how to use social media tools to achieve your goal.
