Webinars

Darim Online offers a regular webinar series to educate our community about new developments in social media, tutorials on specific tools, and knowledge sharing to learn from the best practices of others within the Jewish, non-profit and for-profit communities.  We welcome staff, volunteers, and lay leaders of Jewish organizations to attend our webinar events.  

Many of our webinars are available for no charge.  We do appreciate donations to cover the costs of these presentations!

Some webinars and webinar series do have a modest cost.  Come check out our upcoming webinars on the right.

Come register for the Darim network now to receive invitations to these webinars, and to access recorded webinars.

Darim also offers private webinars for your organization, association or community.  We offer a menu of possible webinar topics and series, and are happy to explore custom curricula too.  Contact Lisa Colton for more information.

Our community is built around the model of a community of practice, in which members learn from each other through sharing resources and expertise, problem-solving, and developing collective wisdom on an ongoing basis in order to grow professionally and improve their practice. This model is particularly valuable for the Jewish organizations with which Darim works, helping to promote best practices, share knowledge, save time, increase sophistication, and advance the Jewish community's use of these important technology tools.  Thus, many of our webinars include guest experts, practitioners sharing their work, and discussion among the participants. All webinars are recorded and archived for future references, and include supporting materials available online for Darim members.

Some of our recent webinars have included:

  • Foundations of Social Media: The fundamentals of our current communications revolution, with Lisa Colton.
  • Facebook Strategies, with Lisa Colton
  • Tune up Your Facebook Page for the High Holy Days, with Debra Askanase
  • Google+, with Miriam Brosseau
  • The Art of Being a Networked Nonprofit, with Lisa Colton and Allison Fine.

In addition to the live webinar events, Darim offers a robust online resource bank which includes archives of each webinar, powerpoints, best practices, sample policies, resourceful articles, useful tips, and links to valuable materials on the web.  Darim Online members have full access to the archives and resource banks. 

This is a constantly evolving resource bank -- we welcome contributions of your best practices and materials, and invite you to communicate to us what other materials would be most valuable to you.
