A bit of background. Been doing this for a while with lots of different things to think about and do.
Part of that is about being an enthusiast…but
What do you want to do today?

Best reason to engage with social media is the same logic as Willie Smith the famous US Bank RObber.
When asked why he robbed banks he replied ‘that’s where the money is’ As medical educationalists in the 21st Century we might ask the same question.
Why do you engage with social media? Because that’s where the trainees are, and that’s where the information is.
If you don’t engage you simply won’t cash in….
FOAM flips the classroom. Either through specific media, or through the empowerment of colleagues to find their own learning and bring that to the workplace.
Role of the educator is then not to teach from on high, rather it is to help learners organise, sift and appraise their knowledge.
For more mature leaders then the top down delivery does not work and something more in depth learning is required.
More mature learners do not work well when they are told what to learn. They need something that allows them to construct their own learning. Something that allows them to create their own knowledge.
