The need for SMEs
Posted by: ashleytan on: May 2, 2012
Ask instructional designers what a SME is and they will tell you it stands for Subject Matter Expert. Today there is another SME, social media educators, that we need more desperately than content experts. I came to this simple conclusion after yesterday’s #edsg chat on Twitter. While anyone is free to contribute to #edsg [live [...]
Train of thought

The recent breakdowns in Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system illustrated how the press and SMRT as a corporation do not understand Twitter. The Straits Times [archived article] acknowledged that: Media and crisis management experts said Thursday’s episode illustrated how much faster news travels now – through the sharing and re-posting of information on the Internet [...]
WTF (what’s the fuss)?
Posted by: ashleytan on: September 13, 2011
by PistoCasero Our own mrbrown got into a tizzy over a CNA article that reported that an expert in NTU stated or implied the following: you only need a two-person team to maintain a social media presence for your organization the team should take no more than 24 hours to respond queries or feedback tended [...]
Letting go

SlideShare source Many thanks to @hychan_edu for sharing this on Twitter. This is probably the best SlideShare I have seen on the impact of social media on modern life. How anyone can ignore this in the educational context is beyond me!

Class photos of social media

What happens in a day of social media?
Posted by: ashleytan on: December 10, 2010
