Social learning in action

I recently wrote about how I hosted a live Twitter chat during an event on informal learning.

“The idea was that those in the room who knew how to use Twitter would “buddy up” with those that did not, so that they could pass on their knowledge, and the newbies could ask any questions of them; there would be no formal “teaching” of how to use Twitter.  We used Tweetchat to display the hashtag stream on the two screens so that everyone could see what was happening and this provided good opportunity for us all to chat about what we were seeing and what it meant.”

I think the picture above (taken by @mikecollins007) sums it up.

How could you use this approach in your organisation?

Read more about the event as well as see some pics and videos, and see what some of the participants thought in my posting here.
