12 Seconds
What can you say in 12 seconds? Not much, but this new short-video service might be a fun new way to incorporate video into your Twitter accounts or student e-blasts. Check out 12seconds.tv and try out these “10 Ways to Use 12seconds.tv in Youth Ministry” from Youth Ministry Geek:
1. Quick announcements
2. Daily/weekly devo
3. Goofy videos of the students
4. Student of the week - maybe they can give their acceptance speech (make sure to spread the love and get everyone on video)
5. Ask the youth worker – answer the students questions on a regular basis
6. Ask the student - you ask a question you want answered
7. Event/Class Teaser - Promote an upcoming event with a short teaser about what they can expect (maybe even “cut yourself off” at the end right when you were going to reveal the big secret)
8. Meet the youth coaches - have the youth coaches (other adults who help) share a little about themselves
9. Recap of last lesson/message - you would be forced to really narrow down your focus, because you only have 12 seconds
10. Tip of the week - it could be a parent tip, youth worker tip, teenager tip or a tip for any other group you can think of (ie. 1 tip on how to contact a student during the week – for the youth coaches)
12Seconds also has a lot of fun community “challenges” such as this one: “Sing Your Favorite Song When You Were 13.” Here was my personal response…
Check out my other posts at my 12seconds channel. The service is still in private beta, so if you need an invite, I still have a few left — just ask.
