We covered two main tools this week - RSS feeds and photo sharing.
I definitely can see uses for RSS feeds in my current job. They will be most useful as a way to keep up with current trends in education and training. As my company begins to roll out a new software package, we will have to retrain everyone in the company. Some of these people have never used any other software package. I will use the RSS feeds to keep up on the latest training techniques to help with this. I will also investigate creating our own RSS feed within the company, so as developments occur people in the company will be notified automatically. We could post training update about the new software and they would receive the information automatically.
This use of RSS feeds would also support social media as a training platform. As students begin to get familiar with the software they could record video blogs talking about their experience. We could then post these stories to a central site, which would in turn update an RSS feed that others could subscribe to.
As for photo sharing, I can not think of as many uses for this at my job. It might be possible to use it as a further training tool, by allowing people to upload screenshots of the work they are doing on the new software. I did create a Flickr account however, and the photos I uploaded can be seen below:
