Clive Shepherd reviews Social Media for Trainers
Clive Shepherd, technology-assisted learning consultant and author of the Clive on Learning blog, reviews Jane Bozarth's book Social Media for Trainers, which covers the way in which social media can be deployed to support informal learning.
Social media for trainers isn’t really aimed at people like me, even though I’m seriously engaged with social media and, at least some of the time, I qualify as being a trainer. It’s primary focus is on the classroom (or virtual classroom) instructor who wants to enrich their offering with social learning techniques but doesn’t know where to begin. This is not a book that spends a lot of time developing a theory of social learning; this is highly practical stuff, and the better for it.
