This document discusses six main types of social media activities: blogs, forums, microblogs, social networks, content/media sharing networks, and bookmarking. It also provides tips for planning a party using social media, including determining the type of party, inviting people, promoting the event, booking a location, hosting the event, and getting feedback afterwards. Case studies are referenced from Spotify, TRV$/DJAM, last.fm, Scott Monty/Ford, and Threadless to illustrate how these companies have effectively utilized social media for events.
We live in the Information Age... or the Disinformation Age. Finding out the truth in the vast amount of contradictory information is becoming increasingly difficult. Can the truth emerge when hundreds of people are asked to contribute evidence to support or disprove and unverified claim?
This document discusses how social media is shifting organizational structures from top-down to bottom-up approaches and the importance of radical trust within organizations to effectively utilize social media. It advocates empowering social media experts and building influence through raising staff awareness, increasing skills, collaboration, and finding internal influencers. Radical trust begins with transparent internal culture and decision making that tolerates failure with reflection.

The document discusses how mobile technology can be used to connect with audiences and communities. It outlines how mobile empowers people through apps and augmented reality. It also notes that mobile extends social networks and makes them portable. While mobile benefits many, the document stresses considering those with basic phones and optimizing content for all.

The document discusses how social media is driving organizational change in museums from traditional hierarchical structures to more distributed models. It notes that many museums now have dedicated staff responsible for social media engagement and community outreach. Additionally, the document describes how organizations are shifting from top-down "classic hierarchy" models to "center-edge" structures that empower social media experts at the edges to engage communities under centralized policy guidance.

Beyond Balance: Participatory Librarianship for Creating, Connecting, C...Buffy Hamilton
This document discusses the concept of participatory librarianship and moving beyond a focus on balance. It argues that libraries should facilitate participation in the community and engage patrons in conversations around topics like reading, media literacy, collections and spaces. Participatory librarians approach their work as facilitators of conversations rather than just providers of information. The document also discusses traits of participatory librarians, such as being curious, willing to take risks and embrace new ideas. It encourages librarians to ask how they can invite participation rather than just find balance.
This document discusses how to create brand advocates using digital tools and strategies. It begins by defining what a brand advocate is - someone who independently recommends and supports a brand through their own credibility and reputation.

The rest of the document provides tips for how to make brand advocates, including understanding your target audience, committing to your brand values, engaging in two-way communication, and providing ongoing value and support to retain advocates. The overall message is that digital tools can be used to build awareness, engage customers, and foster long-term retention through community-building.

transformational strategies for school librariansBuffy Hamilton
This document discusses strategies for school librarians to transform their practice. It suggests creating a participatory culture that invites learning conversations using multiple literacies and modes. It also recommends facilitating unorthodox conversations, being transparent online, collaborating on instructional design, and leaving silos to expand one's network. The document advocates embracing risk, failure and play to innovate and evolve practice in a way that embeds, empowers and enchants communities.
The document discusses the concept of participatory librarianship and how it can help libraries create and foster learning communities. Participatory librarianship views the library as a place for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and community engagement. It encourages libraries to think of themselves as platforms for conversation rather than just repositories of information. The goal is to break down barriers and empower patrons to be creators and teachers in addition to learners.
Social media learning involves using web and mobile technologies to transform communication into an interactive dialogue. It moves away from traditional command and control styles of learning toward supporting and encouraging collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and knowledge sharing. The modern learner wants immediate access to solutions, learns best from others in their trusted network, and strives for continuous improvement and autonomy in their learning.

Learning today requires developing agile approaches in a digital age. Digital technologies are transforming how knowledge is constructed and shared. Developing lifelong and life-wide learning as the central paradigm for the future requires cultivating inquisitive mindsets and digital knowledge networks. Leadership must embrace innovation, welcome change, and meet the challenges of our global connected future.

Factors affecting undergraduate students’ motivation at a university in Tra VinhAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Motivation plays an important role in foreign language learning process. This study aimed to
investigate student’s motivation patterns towards English language learning at a University in Tra Vinh, and factors
affecting their motivation change toward English language learning of non-English-major students in the semester.
The researcher used semi-structured interview at the first phase of choosing the participants and writing reflection
through the instrument called “My English Learning Motivation History” adapted from Sawyer (2007) to collect
qualitative data within 15 weeks. The participants consisted of nine first year non-English-major students who learning
General English at pre-intermediate level. They were chosen and divided into three groups of three members each
(high motivation group; average motivation group; and low motivation group). The results of the present study
identified six visual motivation patterns of three groups of students with different motivation fluctuation, through the
use of cluster analysis. The study also indicated a diversity of factors affecting students’ motivation involving internal
factors as influencing factors (cognitive, psychology, and emotion) and external factors as social factors (instructor,
peers, family, and learning environment) during English language learning in a period of 15 weeks. The findings of
the study helped teacher understand relationship of motivation change and its influential factors. Furthermore, the
findings also inspired next research about motivation development in learning English process.
KEY WORDS: language learning motivation, motivation change, motivation patterns, influential factors, students’

The Impact of Work Stress and Digital Literacy on Employee Performance at PT ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT :This research aims to analyze the correlation between employee work stress and digital literacy
with employee performance at PT Telkom Akses Area Cirebon, both concurrently and partially. Employing a
quantitative approach, the study's objectives are descriptive and causal, adopting a positivist paradigm with a
deductive approach to theory development and a survey research strategy. Findings reveal that work stress
negatively and significantly impacts employee performance, while digital literacy positively and significantly
affects it. Simultaneously, work stress and digital literacy have a positive and significant influence on employee
performance. It is anticipated that company management will devise workload management strategies to
alleviate work stress and assess the implementation of more efficient digital technology to enhance employee
performance.
