17. Why do Social Media?
Share your story/information in more & different
ways.
Connect to & reach people where they are instead
of requiring them to come to you.
When used well, you can use social media to build
relationships.
The conversation is already taking place; you might
as well be part of it.

Class Rooms, Lectures, Text Books, Lots of Content
Traditional 2.0:

Traditional 2.5:
Learn by Active Involvement = Self-Directed Learner
Social Media does not replace the Traditional Learning Concept.
Social Media adds a new tool to enhance the work we do.
