I was invited to speak on social media in the Enterprise by Cadre eLearning to a group of corporate training people. Here are the slides for them. Training departments and social media View more presentations from Laurel Papworth. The diagrams I used are on Flickr. The key points I covered: we can use social media internally to distribute (broadcast) our own training material, or we can use community tools to create the material right through to peer to peer training Pedagogical studies show we learn more effectively from our peers than from exams, teachers or books. how we “discover” educational Continue Reading…

Journoggers: Teachers sue Newspaper Australia

Journalists that raid social networks like Facebook and Twitter, not caring about community, will face a backlash. There is a difference between “exposing the truth” and straight out dirt digging by sourcing content from “open” discussions and taking it out of context to sell advertising. These teachers are suing a newspaper for printing private Facebook photos. A few months ago, I wrote about journoggers – and tried to highlight the difference between bloggers/twitterers (social network members) vs journalists simply using social media to source stories (not be truly a member), and how they behave differently: Participating in the online community… or Continue Reading…

Singapore: University + Twitter = Twuniversity

I love the bit about having to be where the students are and using modern tools . Not just education should be saying that! A Singapore-based university lecturer believes educators should harness the potential of social media as it is not only practical, this is in the interest of students who will go into the workforce as “efficient knowledge workers”. Toward this end, he encourages tweeting in class. While some balk at the idea of introducing Twitter into classrooms, Michael Netzley, assistant professor of Corporate Communication Practice at Singapore Management University, told ZDNet Asia in an e-mail interview that educators Continue Reading…

Australia: Ban vs Educating on social media

I’ve got a good idea. Let’s ban kids from using social networks. Like YouTube in schools. We won’t educate them, we’ll just y’know, stop it. Oh we already ban YouTube? And we have the parents sign that their kids won’t go near  social sites? Good. Worked for those sexually adventurous teens in the 50′s didn’t it? I mean, we banned sex education and that stopped everything. Well, didn’t it? From Yahoo!Answers How do you hack Net Nanny? I have a friend who has a project due tomorrow for school. His parents are out of town, and his work involves looking Continue Reading…

Favourite Australian social media campaigns

Best social media campaigns, well, my favourite case studies anyway. Michael Watkins over at Mudo Media isn’t impressed. He thinks -via Digital Ministry – that social media strategists are all talk and no media. Is he right? Probably. But irrespective of whether anyone is actually hiring consultants, employing traditional agencies or just dumping it on the junior Gen Y to get it all happening, it is happening in Australia. My fave ones so far: GOVERNMENT SOCIAL MEDIA: Future of Melbourne is excellent. Engagement is not using YouTube as a broadcast medium (shove up a video of Ruddles and ignore it) Continue Reading…

Big news on Slashdot today: theodp writes “Confirming paranoid high-schoolers’ fears, a new Kaplan survey reveals that 10% of admissions officers from prestigious schools said they had peeked at sites like Facebook and MySpace to evaluate college-bound seniors. Of those using the profiles, 38% said it had a ‘negative impact’ on the applicant. ‘Today’s application is not just what you send … but whatever they can Google about you,’ said Kaplan’s Jeff Olson. At Notre Dame, assistant provost for enrollment Dan Saracino said he and his staff sometimes come across candidates portraying themselves in a less-than-flattering light. ‘It’s typically inappropriate Continue Reading…
