The topics:

T1: What do you see as the most effective method of outreach for the Church? (i.e. Radio, TV, Paper, Social Media, etc.) 

T1a: If you said social media, what platform is most effective for you?

T2: On a number of occasions we've talked about "having a plan." Name one goal in your #chsocm plan.

9:26	Joe Rogers@joerogers1970 T1a: webinars (recorded if I can't make it) and blogs for me #ChSocM Tuesday May 14, 2013 9:26 joerogers1970

9:26	Will Platnick@WillPlatnick T1A: If you're looking to learn graphic design, check out courses at udemy.com - Adobe Creative Cloud is only $50/month #chsocm Tuesday May 14, 2013 9:26 WillPlatnick

9:26	Julie@ohxjulie T1a: Probably online courses/webinars. But again, the technology needed is beyond what I have regular access to. #ChSocM Tuesday May 14, 2013 9:26 ohxjulie

MeredithGould@MeredithGould @singingcarolyn @kevinhendricks I had that job as a pastoral associate for ~ 3yrs at a parish. Tough gig -- paid or unpaid! #chsocm Tuesday May 14, 2013 10:00 MeredithGould

The topics:
T1: With a challenge of telling the greatest story ever w/ever-changing tools, in what one  #chsocm area would you like more training?
T1A: What is the best way for you to receive that #chsocm training in your context? (Workshops, Webinars, Blogs, etc.)
T1B: What is one area of #chsocm that you would feel confident in helping to leading training for others in your context?

I recently read a post by @thisissethsblog that spoke to clinging to our competencies vs. being open to new possibilities. Seth’s article is here. With that context, here comes topic two…

T2: What area of #chsocm are you clinging to your competency?
T2A: What are some new or different areas of #chsocm that you might try opening up to new possibilities? T2B: Now with that question on the table, would you change your answer to T1?
