Social Networking Sites and Social Media: What's the difference? - Word-of-Mouth and Re... - 0 views

  •  
    From ReferralCandy.com on the difference between social networks and social media. Examines the history of using these terms: prior to 2010, social network was more widely used. Sites such as Facebook and Twitter were just trying to connect people together. However, after 2010 both FB and Twitter started to become news and resource sources and the emphasis changed from connections to content. An example from Twitter: Used to ask - What are you doing? Now ask - what is happening?

  •  
    From Entrepreneur, February 19, 2015. Identifies 2 different networkers online: posters and seekers. Those who actively post info, resources, tips, offers are posters. Seekers are the consumers of products, services, and content. On social media, look for high-level networkers (HLN), those who are very active and have at least 500 connections on LinkedIn or Xing.

Social Media vs. Social Networking - 0 views

  •  
    Good definition of social media vs. social networking from Huffpost Books by Fauzia Burke, 10/2/2013. Defines social media as the content you upload, and a one-to-many communication method. You own the content you share and have to produce it yourself. Social Networking, on the other hand, is engaging your audience with sites like Facebook and Twitter. Social Networking is about creating relationships, communicating with your readers, building a following. It is important to listen as much as talk with social networking so it becomes a sharing, and conversation-rich communication.

What is my problem? - 0 views

  • The intent of these questions are to measure the breadth and depth of my professional network. At the end of the exercise, on the outside, I can potentially have 28 people to whom I turn and rely upon for advice.I had always taken it for granted that my network is a wide one and that I know all of the right kinds of people. After answering Jarche’s tough questions, which took me roughly 30 minutes, I was stunned again to discover my real network comprises only eight people. These include people I work with, my family and two close friends. Is something the matter with me?
  •  
    very interesting self-assessment by someone who took Jarche's course on PKM with the self-awareness building components. We struggle with some of the same challenges. Interesting graphic by Jarche in this post on different types of capital.

4 Myths of Social Learning - 0 views

  • Myth 1: Social Learning is a New Fad
  • Myth 2: Social Learning Means Only One Thing
  • Myth 3: You Don’t Have to Be Social to Get Social
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • They’ve not participated in online forums, shared their own learning journeys though sense making activities such as blogging or working out loud. Many have not used their own enterprise social networks.
  • In order to understand the impact of social learning, the learning and development professional will need to have gone through the personal learning journey themselves.
  • They need to be social themselves.
  • This means that they are already incorporating new skills such as social collaboration, network building,  knowledge sharing, working out loud, content curation and publishing, community building and sense making into their own work.
  • Myth 4: Social Learning is About Forcing Your People to Use Your New Social Learning Platform

A framework for social learning in the enterprise - 0 views

  • There is a growing demand for the ability to connect to others. It is with each other that we can make sense, and this is social. Organizations, in order to function, need to encourage social exchanges and social learning due to faster rates of business and technological changes. Social experience is adaptive by nature and a social learning mindset enables better feedback on environmental changes back to the organization.
  • the role of online community manager, a fast-growing field today, barely existed five years ago.
  • The web enables connections, or constant flow, as well as instant access to information, or infinite stock. Stock on the Internet is everywhere and the challenge is to make sense of it through flows of conversation
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • All organizational value is created by teams and networks.
  • Learning really spreads through social networks. Social networks are the primary conduit for effective organizational performance. Blocking, or circumventing, social networks slows learning, reduces effectiveness and may in the end kill the organization.
  • Social learning is how groups work and share knowledge to become better practitioners. Organizations should focus on enabling practitioners to produce results by supporting learning through social networks. The rest is just window dressing. Over a century ago, Charles Darwin helped us understand the importance of adaptation and the concept that those who survive are the ones who most accurately perceive their environment and successfully adapt to it. Cooperating in networks can increase our ability to perceive what is happening.
  • Wirearchies inherently require trust, and trusted relationships are powerful allies in getting things done in organizations.
  • Three of these (IOL, GDL, PDF) require self-direction, and that is the essence of social learning: becoming self-directed learners and workers, all within a two-way flow of power and authority.
  • rom Stocks to Flow
  • Knowledge: the capacity for effective action. “Know how” is the only aspect of knowledge that really matters in life. Practitioner: someone who is accountable for producing results. Learning may be an individual activity but if it remains within the individual it is of no value whatsoever to the organization. Acting on knowledge, as a practitioner (work performance) is all that matters. So why are organizations in the individual learning (training) business anyway? Individuals should be directing their own learning. Organizations should focus on results.
  • Because of this connectivity, the Web is an environment more suited to just-in-time learning than the outdated course model.
  • Organizing
  • our own learning is necessary for creative work.
  • Developing emergent practices, a necessity when there are no best practices in our changing work environments, requires constant personal directed learning.
  • Developing social learning practices, like keeping a work journal, may be an effort at first but later it’s just part of the work process. Bloggers have learned how powerful a learning medium they have only after blogging for an extended period.
  • we should extend knowledge gathering to the entire network of subject-matter expertise.
  • Building capabilities from serendipitous to personally-directed and then group-directed learning help to create strong networks for intra-organizational learning.
  • Our default action is to turn to our friends and trusted colleagues; those people with whom we’ve shared experiences. Therefore, we need to share more of our work experiences in order to grow those trusted networks. This is social learning and it is critical for networked organizational effectiveness.
