Module 2A-4, Activity 10: Social Media As A Professional Development Resource

19-02-12

Web-based and mobile technologies = 'social media'

What are my thoughts on this?

I believe that since there is no way of getting away from the ongoing evolution of science and technology we need to embrace it in all forms. As a result, at home, work and in the community we should be equipped with communicating via social media.

Questions that have arised due to reading the information given in activity 10.

1. Do I use social media? If, yes, how do I really use it?

2. Do I think that there is room for knowing more about different types of social media? If yes, how would I gain that knowledge?

3. Is there a need for social media to be used as a professional development resource? If yes, to what extent are we already doing this in Antigua and Barbuda? Also, how may we build upon what exist for the betterment of our institutions?

Even though I have these questions and somewhat already the answers, if you are reading this blog, may you share your thoughts on: the use of social media as a professional development resource.

Thank you.
