Educating the Facebook Generation’
            Conference

        New Delhi, 10 December 2010
The Long Tail
l
Amazon,
Netflix b
            If you are an aggregator or
            a platform, life on the Long
                             good!
            Tail is usually good!
But if you are an author,
        independent educator or a
Oops!   small publisher…
DON’T WORRY.
        SUPPLY CREATES
        ITS OWN DEMAND
Oops!
DON’T WORRY.
SUPPLY CREATES
ITS OWN DEMAND




                 I built

                 never came




                    ZERO
My experience of dealing with loneliness
     at the tail-end of the long tail

                            Started a
                            company to
                            provide
                       m    eLearning
                            products for
                            imparting skills
                            required for
                            flourishing in
                            the 21st century
First Product:
    an iPhone App

        eBook:

Fire Up the Learner Within
             Self-
- The Art of Self-Directed Learning
Created a website :www.TimelessLifeskills.co.uk
                                              z
Tried fostering ‘Learning Conversations’ on the website
                                                          z
Started a Blog
                 z
Migrated the
    ‘Learning
n   Conversations’
    to Facebook
Experimented with Twitter and other forms that
would appeal to the Facebook generation          z

Moral of the Story!
                                    self-
If you are an independent educator, self-publishing
author or a small publisher…

- Use Social Media as an ‘AMPLIFIER’ to promote your
                         ‘AMPLIFIER
                          AMPLIFIER’
  e-learning initiative

- Use Social Media as a ‘GLUE’ to foster learning
                        ‘GLUE
                         GLUE’
  conversations and help your learners deepen their
