How to Share a PDF to Facebook

The other day, one of the Extension educators asked me how to save a PDF to Facebook. She was planning to convert the PDF to JPG files and upload those. However, there are many other ways to get a PDF to Facebook. Most importantly, the PDF must be located on the Web. Here are the methods I am going to demonstrate:

• WordPress
• Google Drive
• Dropbox
• Evernote
• Scribd
• Ordinary Website

Each of the sites listed above allows you to upload and share a file to the public.

My presentations at #acenetc

During the 2013 ACE-NETC conference, I had three opportunities to present. I had mostly positive feedback from the sessions, and a number of people stopped me afterwards to discuss them. Here are those presentations:
