#GuildChat for 04/03/2015: Using Social Media for Learning
Our next #GuildChat takes place Friday April 3rd at 11am PT / 2pm ET. Our topic for this week’s chat is Using Social Media for Learning.
The use of social media to connect with people around the globe is no longer a new topic. And yet, many individuals and organizations still struggle to build effective practices on how to use social media effectively in the specific context of learning.
In this week’s #GuildChat we’re going to explore the intersection of social media and learning. We’ll look at social media use for learning from both the individual and organizational points of view. Join us for what’s sure to be another thought-provoking conversation.
Here are some of the questions currently scheduled to be posed during the chat.
- Is there a difference between “regular social media use” and “social media use for learning”? If no, why not? If yes, What’s the difference?
- How do you personally use social media for learning purposes?
- Which social media tools do you use? Are there specific tools that you feel are better for learning? Why?
- What are some ways you can learn via social media that would be difficult to do without social media tools?
- How does your organization use social media for learning purposes?
- What are the common obstacles organizations encounter when considering adding social media tools to an organizational learning and performance strategy?
- What can be done to help individuals and organizations make better use of social media as a tool for learning?

2:07 PM | Quinnovator | a1) social media use (in orgs) includes use for learning *and* doing #guildchat |
2:08 PM | JD_Dillon | A1) It’s all about sharing via some technology – only variation is where, how, and what people share #GuildChat |
2:08 PM | MelMilloway | A1 When I think of regular social media use I think of more connecting with friends and family. #GuildChat |

2:09 PM | AjayPangarkar | a1) tough one for me to answer #guildchat |
2:09 PM | JD_Dillon | A1) Part of the problem is that we attempt to separate “regular” social tools from “learning” social tools #GuildChat |
2:09 PM | AjayPangarkar | @JD_Dillon hey JD, remember when hashtag was pound? #datingmyself #guildchat |
2:10 PM | WonderPix | a1) It seems that they can both be about ‘learning’, whether job or life-related #guildchat |
2:10 PM | JD_Dillon | @AjayPangarkar I’m still waiting for someone on the phone to tell me to press hashtag rather than pound sign #GuildChat |

2:21 PM | AjayPangarkar | a3) too many SoMe tools so have become selective of what I use – don’t need to be on all of them #guildchat |
