• Ask/Answer questions

• Adjunct to training, though not a replacement

• A broader perspective

What are the dangers of using social media?

• If you get involved in social media you may do something you’ll later regret

Page 17: Personal Learning Networks with Social Media

What are the dangers of NOT using social media?

• You will damage your reputation. Worse, you won’t have a reputation at all.

• You will not be taken seriously.

• You will not keep up to date.

• You will be out of the loop. For good.

Social networks

• Not ‘social’ ‘PROFESSIONAL’!

• Have more than one ‘face’; professional and social

• More informal, but never forget the privacy angle!

Page 32: Personal Learning Networks with Social Media

Facebook

• Forget “Friends”

• Facebook is becoming a search engine

• Facebook pages are slowly replacing the website in some instances

• Status updates are like press releases!
