Objectives for this first presentation.
Start out with some concepts and termsBuild a shared understanding
Tools and technologies for creating and delivering education content that engages students in creation, allows continuous improvements, and facilitates interaction between the subject matter expert and the students.
Websites that create opportunities for individuals to interact with one anotherIndependent of space and or timeFacebook, EMS United, MySpace, LinkedIn, EMS Connect …. And many othersTo some degree YouTube, Flickr, Twitter
Content – all file types shared through social networks, websites, and content aggregation sites,Podcast, video cast, screen cast, blog post, everything!All the content that is shared across social networks.
Groups can create content together.Social network to create an ideaSocial media tools to create and distribute contentSkypeBlog
Hub is the starting point … the center of the wheel for your social media efforts.The official presence. Create with HTML programmingOr use a WYSIWIG editor that comes with Blogger, Wordpress, or TypePadBlogger is a free tool.
So many great blogsSubject matter experts connecting directly to their audience
Hub for many organizations is Facebook … which can link out to and deliver lots of spoke content
Group Page
Actually this is a personal account masquerading as a Facebook Fan Page.
Using a Ning network site, like the Chronicles of EMS, JEMS Connect, EMS 1 Connect, EMS United is another way to have a hub
Paramedic program wikiSocial media content for your organization – out from the hub – social media content. TwitterFacebookYouTubeFlickrBlog PostsPodcastsEmail – auto responders, blog posts, blast emails
Podcast or vidcastAudio or video content.
Short messages – 140 charactersFollow, public response – the @reply, and private direct messaging.
Powerful tool to learn, fine tune, and review skills23,000+ views of combitube videoEmbbed into blog. Create your own videos, post, add to a class YouTube channel
Incredible tool. Record what is happening on your screen - and add audio explanation.
Nearly everyone is walking around with a camera … all the time. In and out of classHow could you use these phones as part of class and education activities.
Podcasting tool.
Live delivery of content.Can do this very simply with something like Skype. GoToMeeting and GoToWebinarMany other live delivery tools.
This is almost all stuff you already have and use.
Tools for creating social media content – images, videos, podcasts, blogs, etc. ComputerInternet connection and web browserPhoneVideo cameraFree image and video editing
Things EMS educators should be able to do:
These are things you need to be able to do as an educator.I would also argue that every paramedic school graduate should be able to do these things.
Alternative to HTML programmingWhat you see is what you get.
Pages – part of the navigation structurePermanent content, you always want accessible PostsThe content of the blogCan frequently add/createNew contentEmbed contentRegularly postedChronological organizationSort by categoriesEnable searching with tags
Sticky, durable, enduring content
Writing in HTML vs Visual (visual is what you see is what you get)
Participate in the conversation by writing a comment. Scroll to the end of any blog post. Answer a question from the author, react, share … participate.
Purpose Build an online identityLink back to your HubShare and connect with other EMS education professionals
