Wikipedia had this definition:<br /><br />"Social Learning refers to the acquistion of social competence that happens exclusively or primarily in a social group. Social learning depends upon group dynamics. Social learning promotes the development of individual emotional and practical competence, as well as, the perception of oneself and the acceptance of others with their individual competencies and limitations."<br /><br />I guess, to me the majority of what we learn in life in general is via the social learning process. If that is true, (in my experience it is) then we have an obligation in the world of workplace learning to master the design, implementation and management of social learning processes. <br /><br />I think it is also important that we not confuse the "tools" (e.g. twitter, forums, linkedins, etc.) with the process. These technologies are simply one part of the means we can use to architect intention social learning processes.<br /><br />IMHO, far too many people are fascinated by the tools and losing sight of what the tools are/are not and how best to employ them.John Darlinghttp://www.q2learning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37792768905240327.post-80822150358826979522009-10-13T08:24:40.515-07:002009-10-13T08:24:40.515-07:00Very impressed.

Twitter seems to provide the polish."<br /><br />Working from the assumption that there ARE other folks out there thinking about the things you're thinking about, and then seeking them out, is a huge part of social learning.<br /><br />Sharing what you learn by "learning out loud," as you have done here, is another big piece.<br /><br />Go team, and thank you!<br /><br />(@butwait on Twitter, FYI)Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861427053408203618noreply@blogger.com
