Junita Lyon presented on using social media tools like Dropbox, Blackboard Collaborate, MS Lync, and Wikis to aid self-directed learning and professional development. Participants signed up for accounts, shared folders, uploaded photos and documents, updated profiles, added topics for discussion, completed forms, attended meetings and webinars, created wiki pages, and inserted links, photos, and maps to engage with course materials and each other. The social media tools provided access to learning resources and opportunities for collaboration.
