How to Become a Social Media Expert

22/10/2013 /

Ted Coiné lists his ideas on how to become a social media expert

  1. Focus on Your Passion, Rather Than on Social Media
  2. Use Social As a Tool (that’s all it is, you know)
  3. DO NOT BROADCAST! Don’t use social as a shouting platform, Talk to people
  4. Take Time to Tend Your Social Garden Every Day
  5. If You Want To Become an Expert (at anything), You’d Better Be Obsessed

And remember that you won’t become a social media expert by focusing on the media part of this medium. Focus on the social. Different media will come and go. The platform might go out of fashion, but your network, your friends, will still be around – they’ll migrate to a different platform, that’s all!

Do you need PechaKucha?

15/10/2013 /

PechaKucha is a simple presentation format where you show 20 slides that display for 20 seconds each, so that the presenter has only 6 minutes and 40 seconds in all for his/her presentation.

The name comes from a Japanese term meaning “chatter”. The basic idea is to force the presenter to speak concisely, precisely and clearly by using mainly images.

For this reason, PechaKucha is a great format for presentations at schools or for meetings in offices, in those occasions where conciseness is particularly important.

If you want some tips to realize your personal PechaKucha, read more on http://bit.ly/1cBv9QD or just visit the PechaKucha official site.

Web 2.0 technologies are changing the ways we can do personal learning: Information and content aggregators may come in handy for training activities.

The English Learning Corner set by the Istituto Diplomatico (using Netvibes) is  an excellent example of these possibilities. The service gathers and organizes links to relevant sites and RSS feeds devoted to English language learning.  It shows how an aggregation service can provide a personal learning environment.
