As public health professionals you are always looking for ways to tap into different markets with your message.
I have compiled just a few networks related to educators on just a few social networks. There are sooo many more. But just wanted to wet your appetite. Do you know others that can be added to the list?
Facebook Groups
Active Learning-Ways to engage students
Teaching Critical Thinking
Ning
You are going to create your own social network soon, but for now check out some of them
Education
National Middle Schools Association
Montclair NJ Social Network for teachers
My challenge task for you, if you decide to accept it, is to search on Facebook groups with key words for other education related groups. Join them and share your information that can be of help. Also, support their efforts.
Do the same for the Ning groups.

The National Association of County and City Health Officials makes use of social media. Their mission statement is as follows:
NACCHO is the national organization representing local health departments. NACCHO supports efforts that protect and improve the health of all people and all communities by promoting national policy, developing resources and programs, seeking health equity, and supporting effective local public health practice and systems.
They display a Twitter Follow banner on each page of the site. So if you have a presence on Twitter be sure to follow them.
I also encourage you to visit their marketing page. This page has an assortment of communication tools, PSA’a and logos that can by used by local public health agencies.
Of course you will get maximum benefits if your are a member of the organization. But there is a great deal of information accessible on the site as a non-member also.
They have also created a .Facebook page for an upcoming national conference. This is an excellent thing to do if you are on Facebook. You can also create several pages each with a singular focus.
This is a powerfully comprehensive site that will keep growing so keep visiting.
