- We will next consider various examples of use of these social media in learning/education. Keep the various theories in mind when reviewing these examples.
- Reflect, create, share = Social Constructionism,
- Example of a Blog – You can read opinions of thought leaders
- And interact with them – Remember the point made by Tapscot on Talk of the Nation?Why will students want to sit in a lecture hall to listen to a teaching assistant when they can exchange ideas and learn from the thought leaders themselves.
- A comment made on G+ helps me connect with a person with interest in eLearning
- And have a rich conversation – amazed at his insights – he nails the models used in EHR adoption and possible problems with them.
- Impression of most non-users about an average Twitter user – narcissistic personalities tweeting about meaningless issues.
- Twitchats are live events open to any user – use of a hashtag (e.g. #meded) helps maintain the thread of the conversation. Can get pretty chaotic but usually one can get some new ideas and build connections and enlarge your networks
- Khan Academy – 2400 videos – how a 6th grader sees a video each day and then blogs about what she has learned. Example of social constructionism.

Multiple possibilities in medical education – small group discussions, vodcasts, discuss hypothetical/animated cases on YouTube screened during a hangout session.
