Social learning is learning with and from others through interactions both online and offline. Social media allows social learning to scale in unprecedented ways by connecting people globally and facilitating ongoing knowledge sharing and transfer. For social learning to be effective using social media, it requires shifting perceptions to encourage learning as an enjoyable social experience. Social media platforms like Facebook and Yammer can expand conversations, connections, and communities to reach broader audiences in ways that were previously only possible on a local level.
Social Learning Workshop Presentation
- 1. Free the mind, it is amazing what you will find. ~Charlie Robinson Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. ~Helen Keller
- 2. Social Learning | Social Media Social Learning is learning with and from others. It happens at conferences, cafes or online — with or without social media tools. Social learning can’t be forced. It must be organic. Social Media has the ability to scale things in ways never imagined in the past.
- 3. Social Learning, using the technology of Social Media. Requires a perception shift; a shift that encourages ongoing knowledge transfer and connects people in ways that make learning a joy. The students hear “we are coming into your world to play”.
- 4. Social Media’s Public Domain Facebook (Public) • Conversations and exchanges once only possible on a local level now become macro and available to a potential world audience... Conversations that in many situations exist between small groups or in a classroom or studio now have the potential to reach the whole university, local, national and international communities. ~Charlie Yammer (Invited) • Connections between people, groups, offices and ideas. You help build the network every time you post your work, ask a question, provide an answer, or share a discovery. Brainstorm with anyone, anywhere in the world. You might find inspiration from the most unusual of places! ~Yammer
- 5. Yammer Charlie has been accepted into Jane Hart‘s Social Learning Environment Network for further learning and knowledge sharing. http://sociallearningcentre.co.uk/
- 6. Facebook “Facebook Pages help educators join the conversation, share their stories, and build a meaningful dialogue with their audience.” ~Facebook
- 7. Facebook Notes The primary reason for using the Notes Application (on Facebook) is to publish something longer than the usual character limit of 420 characters. Notes can be formatted (bold and/or italic text, bulleted and numbered lists, etc.) and pictures can be used to make the overall appearance more attractive.
- 8. Facebook Images With Facebook such a visual communications tool, the use of images to capture the eye, required a defined strategy. Photo albums posted “officially” used black/white images. This allowed for student postings to be visually distinct .
- 9. Facebook Wall Postings The Unearthing Ideas online area became, in essence, an online journal. Each day, references to articles, quotes, books and theories were posted to the wall for the student’s future reference.
