skylarfought Nov 2 @ 12:10 PM EDT

A1) I'm enjoying Twitter and Instagram stories. Both for personal and professional use! @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:10 PM EDT

A1) It may come as no surprise that @Twitter is still my favorite. :) But there are more ... #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:11 PM EDT

@skylarfought I haven't tried Instagram stories, yet! How are you using them? #iolchat

MHpoints2share Nov 2 @ 12:11 PM EDT

A1) I use LinkedIn and Facebook for personal use and Slack and Yammer for professional @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:12 PM EDT

@MHpoints2share Big fan of Slack as well - great communication tool for an organization that is geographically dispersed. :) #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:13 PM EDT

Feel free to include links, handles, etc. to accounts you'd like to share. :) #iolchat

skylarfought Nov 2 @ 12:13 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd We have used them when we have bigger events to promote what is going on & give a "behind the scenes" look! #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:14 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd A1 also for stories @Storify #IOlchat

MHpoints2share Nov 2 @ 12:14 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Yes. Slack is so easy to use, even for social media novices. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:14 PM EDT

@philosophypaul The big 3! I think many of us are on the same track. Also yes to @WordPress. :) Do you have a blog or use at work? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@skylarfought That sounds great - Instagram is so popular and easy to use, too. I need to try Stories! #iolchat

skylarfought Nov 2 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @CenterOnlineEd I enjoy @periscopeco as well! I'm always looking for a way to include live streaming into my work. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:16 PM EDT

We're moving into Q2 .... #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:17 PM EDT

Q2) Are you using any of the new "live" broadcast platforms? If so, what are you sharing? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:19 PM EDT

Great to hear about @periscopeco interest! Anyone using Facebook Live or YouTube? #iolchat

jshamsy Nov 2 @ 12:19 PM EDT

Hi #iolchat ... just dropping by for a few moments..Jennifer from ATL

MHpoints2share Nov 2 @ 12:19 PM EDT

A2) I've a watched FB Live event. Poor audio/video made it frustrating. @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@jshamsy Hi Jennifer! Hope your week is going well. Thanks for stopping by. :) #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd A2 live broadcast follows w @periscopeco My follows give me the tour of the town or breaking news. #IOlchat

skylarfought Nov 2 @ 12:20 PM EDT

A2) I'm looking into @Facebook live for some upcoming events but have yet to use it @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat

jshamsy Nov 2 @ 12:20 PM EDT

A1) Twitter is really the only one I use besides Facebook for personal connections. #iolchat

jshamsy Nov 2 @ 12:21 PM EDT

@philosophypaul reminded me of LinkedIn..I use that but probably not to its full capability #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:21 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @periscopeco Reply: Yes, YouTube, but use it for LMS training videos w faculty mainly #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:21 PM EDT

Great points about "use" here - we may have accounts through which we primarily broadcast, and others we use more to follow others. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:22 PM EDT

@jshamsy Twitter is still my favorite. :) #iolchat

SpiralEducation Nov 2 @ 12:22 PM EDT

Hey just wanted to take a poll to see what live broadcasting service people are using more #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:22 PM EDT

Good point & question: What is SM of choice? When making a choice do you use its full capacity? #IOLchat https://t.co/fxenTOoNqe

jshamsy Nov 2 @ 12:21 PM EDT

@philosophypaul reminded me of LinkedIn..I use that but probably not to its full capability #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:22 PM EDT

@SpiralEducation For me it's Periscope right now. #iolchat

SpiralEducation Nov 2 @ 12:23 PM EDT

Hey just wanted to take a poll to see what live broadcasting service people are using more #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:26 PM EDT

Q3) How do you decide to use a new social media platform? Or to give it a try at least... #iolchat

skylarfought Nov 2 @ 12:27 PM EDT

A3) Research. I'm a firm believer that you should only use something if it fits into your current social strategy. @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:28 PM EDT

@skylarfought What's your best source of info? I tend to more informally "research" by seeing what others in my network are doing. #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:29 PM EDT

@skylarfought @CenterOnlineEd Strategy precedes use? Yes. #IOLchat

skylarfought Nov 2 @ 12:30 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I love @SMExaminer when trying to learn about a new platform. Other than that, I do informal research #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:30 PM EDT

@philosophypaul Ease of use via mobile app or ease of integration into some other application? SM seems to be everywhere ... #iolchat

MHpoints2share Nov 2 @ 12:30 PM EDT

A3) Easy to use, can share with others not on the platform @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:31 PM EDT

@skylarfought @SMExaminer Good source!! Thanks for sharing that one. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:31 PM EDT

@MHpoints2share Really like this point about sharing w/those not in the system - a wider reach is often what we need/want. #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:33 PM EDT

Definitely sh arability. Example: YouTube video. #IOLchat https://t.co/OOl5WahA5H

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:31 PM EDT

@MHpoints2share Really like this point about sharing w/those not in the system - a wider reach is often what we need/want. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:33 PM EDT

Q4) "Easy to use" seems to be a primary consideration. Are there any platforms you abandoned because they weren't so easy to use? #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:34 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Definitely sharability. Example: YouTube video. #IOLchat https://t.co/OOl5WahA5H …

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:31 PM EDT

@MHpoints2share Really like this point about sharing w/those not in the system - a wider reach is often what we need/want. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:36 PM EDT

Q4 cont.) Are there any platforms you abandoned because you weren't able to share to non-users/members? #iolchat

skylarfought Nov 2 @ 12:36 PM EDT

A4) None come right to mind! @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:36 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Reply back -- Abandoned? this may be the fate of @vine #IOlchat

MHpoints2share Nov 2 @ 12:36 PM EDT

A4) @CenterOnlineEd Honestly, haven't used Twitter too much due to learning curve for protocols. Faculty hesitate to use it too. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:38 PM EDT

@MHpoints2share Interesting feedback about Twitter - I remember it being tricky to get started. My students don't really use it. :( #iolchat

MHpoints2share Nov 2 @ 12:38 PM EDT

A4cont) I left @instagram because of this limitation @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat

OHMWelker Nov 2 @ 12:38 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd #iolchat Is this online persona compartmentalizing a 21st c. pro skill we shld teach students?

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:39 PM EDT

@philosophypaul "Abandoned" was perhaps too harsh a word.... Sadly, I never tried Vine. Was the issue a lack of use? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:39 PM EDT

@MHpoints2share Good example! And I admit that I found Snapchat limiting in both ease of use and sharability. #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:40 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Reply; W @vine likely so. Soon not to be supported by Twitter. #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:40 PM EDT

@OHMWelker Interesting question (Hi, Mike!) Should we have more social media in our classes? Model use? #iolchat

MHpoints2share Nov 2 @ 12:40 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I've found the same with students. I can see cool concepts for use in online courses but without buy in ... #iolchat

jshamsy Nov 2 @ 12:41 PM EDT

I often abandon/stop using products because they are too "clunky"...if they don't fit in seamlessly with what I am trying to do #iolchat

griffy2osu Nov 2 @ 12:41 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd A4) So many! Eg, if school's authentication ends w graduation platforms for lifelong learning are limited #iolchat

jshamsy Nov 2 @ 12:41 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @OHMWelker I worry about getting wrapped in the tool versus what we are using it for #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:42 PM EDT

@MHpoints2share Yes! I tried it for a couple for years, but got no real traction and moved on. #iolchat

jshamsy Nov 2 @ 12:42 PM EDT

@MHpoints2share @CenterOnlineEd Seems like lots of online students want one place to click - won't click to far outside of that #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:43 PM EDT

Yes. If the tool requires a significant learning curve we may not utilize it for the intended end #IOLchat https://t.co/NuIXqGDXDe

jshamsy Nov 2 @ 12:41 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @OHMWelker I worry about getting wrapped in the tool versus what we are using it for #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:43 PM EDT

@griffy2osu Welcome to the chat Henry! Nice point about tying platform use too closely to school connections/access. #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:43 PM EDT

Yes. All the more reason for a robust LMS that can accomodate SM. #IOLchat https://t.co/8cxuQobHBL

jshamsy Nov 2 @ 12:42 PM EDT

@MHpoints2share @CenterOnlineEd Seems like lots of online students want one place to click - won't click to far outside of that #iolchat

griffy2osu Nov 2 @ 12:44 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Again, many. Eg, platforms that might structure writing assignment as online publishing but are too detailed #iolchat

OHMWelker Nov 2 @ 12:45 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @MHpoints2share #iolchat Had some strongly ANTI-Twitter students so I offer alternate but have also had good flex tweetchats

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:45 PM EDT

Another consideration for social media use in higher ed ... #IOLchat https://t.co/HKYFh0Nt5l

OHMWelker Nov 2 @ 12:37 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @periscopeco YouTube's AUTOmagic Closed captioning of recorded mini lecture vids- tho some editing needed- vital for ADA

OHMWelker Nov 2 @ 12:45 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @MHpoints2share #iolchat the ability to either do live interaction and or catch up on their time was much loved

MHpoints2share Nov 2 @ 12:45 PM EDT

@OHMWelker @CenterOnlineEd I think students should learn about managing their personal brand via SM. Integrate into curric. #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:46 PM EDT

@OHMWelker @CenterOnlineEd @MHpoints2share Curious. How did they become ANTI-Twitter? #IOLchat

OHMWelker Nov 2 @ 12:46 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat as well as FERPA concerns :z We have had some incidents with that :(

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:46 PM EDT

@OHMWelker @MHpoints2share Sounds like a decent compromise. What's your alternate to Twitter in these cases? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:47 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @OHMWelker @MHpoints2share Thanks for asking that ... also wondering... #IOLchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:48 PM EDT

Important. SM makes digital footprint very portable. Personal brand is shaped by SM public and private mix #IOLchat https://t.co/JqHJ8Il968

MHpoints2share Nov 2 @ 12:45 PM EDT

@OHMWelker @CenterOnlineEd I think students should learn about managing their personal brand via SM. Integrate into curric. #iolchat

OHMWelker Nov 2 @ 12:48 PM EDT

@jshamsy #iolchat all the more imp. with #edtech for having instructional design/ object. first THEN find a tool that fits vs tail wag dog

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:50 PM EDT

Q5) Does your school or program use social media? If so, do you follow and/or contribute? #iolchat

griffy2osu Nov 2 @ 12:52 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @OHMWelker Seems like it's difficult to answer in the abstract. Yes where useful. No where not? #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:52 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd A5 Yes. Use w @facebook @twitter @instagram Follow? Yes and no. On one @facebook page. Contribute? Needs vetting #IOLchat

skylarfought Nov 2 @ 12:53 PM EDT

A5) A key part of my job is following and contributing to SM! I help in creating content for @ODEEatOSU and @InnovateOSU #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:54 PM EDT

@griffy2osu @OHMWelker True enough, are there specific cases in which you find it more useful? (or not?) #iolchat

philosophypaul Nov 2 @ 12:55 PM EDT

Reply question: As pro SM contributor do you act as gatekeeper or censor? #IOLchat https://t.co/khEcJVGDno

skylarfought Nov 2 @ 12:53 PM EDT

A5) A key part of my job is following and contributing to SM! I help in creating content for @ODEEatOSU and @InnovateOSU #iolchat

griffy2osu Nov 2 @ 12:55 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Big school, wide range, my area more than most. I do some but it's not my sharpest tool. Mainly try to get basics #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:55 PM EDT

A5) I follow a blog or two, and several school twitter accounts. Can be a good way to get general announcements, event updates. #iolchat

OHMWelker Nov 2 @ 12:55 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @MHpoints2share #iolchat some sort of field research... being history of course :D https://t.co/Wzh2R0TLiC

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:56 PM EDT

@skylarfought @ODEEatOSU @InnovateOSU This seems to be a quickly emerging role! college social media manager :) #iolchat

griffy2osu Nov 2 @ 12:57 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @OHMWelker Hmm. Usually case by case. In gen'l? Useful for experiencing, less useful for learning/retaining. You? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:57 PM EDT

@OHMWelker @MHpoints2share That looks like fun :) #iolchat

skylarfought Nov 2 @ 12:58 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I wouldn't call myself a social media manager by any means! just a social media helper bee #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:59 PM EDT

@griffy2osu @OHMWelker Agreed on "experiencing" aspect! Great way to extend your perspective on any topic. #iolchat

MHpoints2share Nov 2 @ 12:59 PM EDT

A5) We use a blog trying to build online community of instructors. Slow progress but has potential @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Nov 2 @ 12:59 PM EDT

@skylarfought Helper Bee is also a cool title. ;) #iolchat

OHMWelker Nov 2 @ 12:59 PM EDT

@griffy2osu @CenterOnlineEd #iolchat SM for intentionally adding an element of #connectivism and #openeducation to open up classroom walls
