Social Media Strategy in 8 steps – an infographic

Social Media Strategy in 8 steps – an infographic | SteveB's Social Learning Scoop | Scoop.it

Social Media Strategy in 8 steps – an infographic. A recent study by the Altimeter Group [states] that “most companies feel they have fairly coherent social strategies”, but given the advanced nature of the sample i.e. social strategists, large organizations, etc. my sense is that the findings may not represent the experiences of the majority of companies that are using social media.

The point here is, promotional material could exist, just don't tell us lies, companies: if you are giving us "bull sales marketing selling something", tell us. Like: "Here you will only find promotional material. For us is still worthy and we hope it is for you. If you want to get Real Content and Only Information, then click here"... leading us to a real, original piece of information. Anyway, Xyeye, as a journalist I receive loats of such materials that claim to be the requested description from which I should take the article so I know the sensation...

The Evolving use of Badges in Education

Rewards as a Way to Motivate Students to Learn Today’s schools commonly use grade-based evaluations where students get rewarded for the knowledge they gain.

Via Susan Bainbridge
Jeroen Bottema's curator insight, June 16, 3:27 AM

"Today’s schools commonly use grade-based evaluations where students get rewarded for the knowledge they gain. Students are evaluated and rewarded with grades and sometimes other types of rewards, for tasks such as projects, behavior, skills, and taking tests. Evaluations are one way to reward learning. The rewards may come in the form of a grade (number, letter), words, badges, stickers, certificates, medals, trophies, money, or prizes. The rewards may be determined by peer, self, or teacher-based assessments. Rewards are a way to motivate students to learn."

Stacey Py Flynn's curator insight, June 16, 11:16 AM

Using virtual badges as a reward for learning provides motivation, boosts confidence and provides supports for collaborative learning through positive social interactions. 

Moushira Issa's curator insight, June 16, 5:04 PM

Get recognition for learning that happens anywhere. Then share it in the places that matter.

Brainstorm in Progress: MOOCs: Disruption is the Mother of Invention

Brainstorm in Progress: MOOCs: Disruption is the Mother of Invention | SteveB's Social Learning Scoop | Scoop.it

There is an article in the Boston Review by Thomas Leddy called "Are MOOCs Good for Students?" In this article Leddy claims that

"MOOCs pose a great threat to the most important value of higher education: 'literacy.' By 'literacy' I mean, very broadly, the ability to read, think about, and intelligently respond (both orally and in writing) to the literature of any field of study. Thus, implementation of MOOCs for university credit is bad because it is bad for our students."

The 10 New Rules for SEO

The 10 New Rules for SEO | SteveB's Social Learning Scoop | Scoop.it

To facilitate Social Media SEO optimization…

Include social buttons on every page of your site, and in all blog posts, press releases, and outbound communication.
 Focus on the channels your customers use. It’s better to do a thorough job in just one often-visited channel than poorly in three.
 Keep in mind that Google has made it clear that social signals play a role in its algorithm; Google+ is going to have the biggest role in your ranking.
