Headline: Which Social Tools Can Be Relevant to Your Continuous Learning Initiative?

Summary: On Sept. 5, 2012, Shirley Fine Lee facilitates a discussion on “Which Social Tools Can Be Relevant to Your Continuous Learning Initiative?” for Dallas ASTD group at Peak Performance Solutions office in Dallas.  The world of social learning for corporate training or knowledge sharing can be confusing to navigate. It can be hard to decide what to say on-line or find the best way to spread the news about new products and services.  This interactive discussion should help answer the following questions about planning a social footprint for any learning initiative:

- Who should be on an external social network and When is it appropriate to be only internal?

- What social media is available and Why would you want to use it?

- Where can you get more information and How can you share what you learn?
