General Session Program: Social Media – Alex
Weeks
Thursday, May 16th, 7:00 p.m.
This
month’s presentation on
May
16th will be given by Alex Weeks, who
will be speaking on Social Media.
Social
media technologies take on many different forms
including magazines,
Internet forums,
weblogs,
social blogs,
micro blogging,
wikis,
social networks,
podcasts,
photographs or pictures, video, rating and
social bookmarking.
Technologies include: blogs, picture-sharing,
vlogs,
wall-postings, email,
instant messaging,
music-sharing,
crowdsourcing
and
voice over IP,
to name a few. Many of these services can be
integrated via
social network aggregation
platforms. Alex is a Club member and a teenager,
who uses Social Media every day and will be
speaking on how Social Media is being used to
communicate and connect with friends and family.
Join us at 7:00 pm on Thursday May 16th
for this informative and entertaining
presentation. Visitors are always welcome and
there is never a charge to attend this meeting.
The Computer Club of Oklahoma City has two door
prizes to give to its members, and two for
visitors. This month the prize for the first
visitor will be a one-year membership to the
Computer Club of Oklahoma City; the second
visitor’s prize will be a $20 gift card from
Best Buy. For the members’ drawings, we have a
two $40 gift cards. Please join us for this
informative presentation and stay for the
drawing for these prizes. Remember that if you
bring guests, you may complete an extra prize
drawing slip for each guest over the age of 18
you bring who has not attended the General
Meeting in the last three months. However, if
you win a prize, you are only allowed to win one
prize an evening and if your name is drawn
again, it will be put aside and another name
drawn.
THE FOLLOWING IS VERY IMPORTANT:
In fairness to all, no one will be allowed to
register for the drawing after 7:00pm. You MUST
have a current Computer Club of Oklahoma City
badge with you to enter the members' prize
drawing. If you forget your badge, you have lost
it, or it has expired, you will not be eligible
to fill out a prize drawing slip. Although you
can certainly place your membership with the
Club the night of the meeting, you will not be
eligible for the members’ drawing until the
following month. This is a firm rule for all
meetings, so members, please be sure you bring
your badge with you each month. You are welcome
to stay for the presentation without your badge,
but you will not be allowed to participate in
the drawing, no matter how long you've been a
member of the Club.

The Computer Club of OKC offers
many different
Study Groups. They are groups of 10-50
people who meet monthly to learn about a
particular subject. The format is part
presentation and part facilitated discussion.
A
STUDY GROUP, once called a
Special Interest Group, is an informal group
within ccOKC whose participants share a common
interest.
As such, a STUDY GROUP is the
place to ASK QUESTIONS, LEARN
and GET HELP about the subject
of that study group through the questions asked
by all and the demonstrations by the Study Group
leader. All Study Groups are FREE
and ALL ARE INVITED!
