Social media tools can be used strategically to network, research, organize information, collaborate and stay up to date professionally. While personal and work life may blur online, social platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook can strengthen professional identities and connections if profiles are maintained appropriately. Tools like Delicious, Evernote and RSS readers help filter information overload and organize content by tagging and lists for easy accessing.

We've all used social media tools, but how do we take advantage of them for work?

I use PP as a 'background' so it will be difficult to get all what I was saying by just seeing the slides. However, it may be useful so here it is, in the spirit of sharing

Opportunities to provide training occur every time you help someone with a technology related question, whether it’s one-on-one assistance or in a classroom environment. Making the most of the “teachable moment” involves the right combination of training skills, techniques, and tactics. Technology training is successful when a library patron learns something new and is able to apply it to their life. You don’t need to be a tech expert to learn the practical skills for successful technology training.

BIM, tedy aspoň z pohledu projektanta, je kvalitativně nový způsob zpracování stavební projektové dokumentace. Tento fakt ovšem nepřináší odpověď na otázku, proč jej používat. Proč tedy?

ADUG slides
Filed Under: Atlanta, Drupal, Modules, Social NetworkingJul.14, 2010
Yesterday night I gave a presentation on Social Networking in Drupal at the Atlanta Drupal Users Group meetup. Grab the slides or watch the video!
The presentation was based on one I gave at DrupalCamp South Carolina/LinuxFest SouthEast.
Also check out the demo site! (Update: the demo site has been taken down.)
Social media is a great tool that civil society organizations can use to communicate with their audience, market their services, connect with their networks or improve the way they work and promote their social development agenda. The key features of social media are participation and interaction, connecting people and providing the tools necessary to have a conversation - all important components of NGOs’ day-to-day work. This workshop looks at how the strategic use of social media helps civil society organizations reach new people, adds value to mission-driven work, supports goals to build a movement around a core advocacy issue, improves customer service or programmes, reaches new donors, and raises awareness of a nonprofit brand around the world.
Social Media productivity tools and tips for PR professionals in the Travel and Tourism industry, presented in May 2010 by Johna Burke of Burrell's Luce and Angela Berardino of Turner PR.
Digging Deeper Into the Social Web: Social Search SemanticsLiz Oke
This presentation was delivered on February 9, 2012 to a group of Wilred Laurier University journalism students. The presentation\'s main goals were to educate students on the pitfalls of researching online, how marketers use the web, and some possibly implications in the future of the web.
What are my needs in term of communication and how can I satisfy them? Landscape, starting from Cluetrain Manifesto and going through some definitions (Social media, in comparison with industrial media, social networks, networked publics).
How to create an effective message: my benefits, why customize and fix, usefulness of groups and habits, the importance of immediacy and schedule, the use of different communication techniques.
Finally we outline which rules are essential:• Conversational and listening rules • Blurring of public and private• Storytelling • Objectives, and how everything is summarized in the editorial plan.
Overview of personal professional use of social media, professional learning network development, and using social media tools with emphasis on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
1. SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE JOB
Tools and strategies to network,
research or otherwise do your job or
develop yourself as a professional
Nigel Allan
January 9, 2013
2. WHY THIS TOPIC?
Using social media tools in a more focused way to:
• Organize (filter and sort) information
• Sharing and collaborating
• Researching
• Staying in touch with colleagues
3. CAVEATS
• This is how I use these tools. You will likely use them
differently. (Check out the How I Work series on
LifeHacker.com)
• Be aware of your workplace guidelines around social media
and computer use.
4. PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL
For better or worse the distinction between the personal and professional is blurring.

productivity • Connect w/ colleagues

6. Online Identity
• Do you have a professional profile online? Should you?
• 37% of employers now check social media when hiring (65%
of the respondents said they look to Facebook, 63% cited
LinkedIn, while Twitter was on the radar of only 16% of hiring
managers).*
• Younger generation (“digital natives”) more active on social
media. They share more and they may also be more likely to
look to social media when they want to know about someone.

7. PERSONAL ORGANIZATION

useful.
8. COMMUNITY & NETWORKING
