Those of us who tweet as healthcare professionals know that Twitter is "where it's at" ... The global healthcare community that exists on Twitter enables us all to share our practice, to celebrate our practice, it informs our practice, provides support, connections and encouragement and is increasingly becoming part of our practice. Twitter is an easy, 'in the palm of your hand" modern health care tool. So why don't more healthcare professionals tweet? In my experience Twitter is a bit like green eggs and ham ... in that you don't know how good it is until you try it !
For #FabChange19 us folk here at WeCommunities want to help to get more people in healthcare tweeting. We want to do this via our ground breaking WeLearn platform. WeLearn is all about using social media to learn and professionally develop or, as we like to call it ….s-learning.
s-learning is very different to e-learning … both are digital but the evolution is significant. s-learning is about embracing social media and the short, snappy and social principles that make social media content so engaging. Learning through social media and an s-learning platform are about using highly engaging social media and social media content that is already out there, pulling it together, facilitating discussion and encouraging learning being applied to practice. s-learning is about not being bored, it’s about a journey of exploration and long lasting communities of practice, (find out more HERE )
