2. What is Yammer?
From SchoolBiz January 29 2016
Yammer is your professional social network that makes real-time communication,
collaboration and information sharing between you and your colleagues across the
department easier and more efficient. Think of it as an enterprise brainstrust or a
virtual assistant you can access at any time.
There are almost 20,000 staff on the network sharing their expertise, asking relevant
questions about their professional worklife, connecting with new and familiar
colleagues and keeping up to date with the news in the department. It's also helping
leadership and staff to understand the social media environment in a closed safe
environment, and for those who run groups, it's giving them experience in online
community management.
There are 100s of groups to join that can support you in your daily worklife whether you
are part of the school executive team, a policymaker, a teacher, a SAS staff member,
regional consultant or any other role.
