The is the latest version - with some slight changes. Thanks so much for Carrie Saarinen and CTSinclair for teaching me so much in this arena.

1. Web 2.0: Collaborative online learning Suzana Makowski, MD MMM FACP

2. Overview What is it? Why? How do we use it?

4. Why? Revolution!!!

5. Why? Revolution!!!

6. Why? Revolution!!!

9. Twitter: #hpm #meded #hcsm Tweet: 140 characters or less RT: retweet (forwarding a message to your followers) DM: direct message (private message between you and one of your followers) @ reply: public reply to someone #: hashtag (a tag with which to label tweets within a particular theme)

11. The good, the bad, and the ugly The good The bad A link to a great article find or blog post and a few words why Updates on policy (see Diane Meyer’s tweets) Announcement of event, highlights of a talk Patient information – HIPAA issues Self-promotion gone array Workplace gossip (remember, it’s public) Same rules that apply in facebook, apply here – use common sense

12. Breaking through the twitter “babble” & spam Create a list Use a # Carefully select followers Use useful twitter tools/sites

13. Useful Twitter tips & sites Bit.ly and other shortening sites Tweetchat (website), Tweet Library (iPad), Tweetdeck – for following # or chats Iphone/ipad apps: twitter, Osfoora, and tohers Wednesday night #hpmtweetchat Who to follow: @ctsinclair, @ewidera, @lfettig, @DianeEMeyer, @hollyby, @suzanakm, @kevinmd, and many more…

15. Blog or wiki – what and why? Web log – it differs from a wiki: A wiki is for collaborating information that then is easily read. i.e. wikipedia The information can be edited by anyone with privileges A blog is more like a newspaper – one author at a time, sharing information where people can then respond and comment

16. Blogs Palliative Care Blogs: Pallimed, Geripal, AAHPM Blog Ethics Blogs: Medical Futility Medical Humanities/Humanism in Medicine: Schwartz Center Blog, Spirituality: On Being, General Medicine: KevinMD

17. Wikis One is just starting – Christian Sinclair is building one, inviting others to join. Nothing like what

18. Wikis

19. Blog/wiki disclaimer statements All opinions expressed…are those of respective authors and not of their employers Not substitute for medical advice No profit from any material on this website References to patients have been changed to protect patient privacy Disrespectful comments deleted (From Slideshare presentation – AAMC meeting)

20. Consider… Starting a Stanford Palliative Care Blog OR Wiki What would the strengths/weaknesses of either be? Blog: we need more, great place to “publish” Wiki: Palliative Care has no robust wikis – could be defined by your program. Negative – harder to claim authorship. What would better suite your program or the field?

23. Create RSS feeds of the tags on your blog, personalized learning network, wiki, or other site

28. Social Networking Sites for PLNs

29. Why Personal Learning Network? Diverse schedules Learners with diverse needs: Disciplines Experience Goals Diverse locations

30. Virtual vs. Personal Learning Network VLN Static Didactic Authority-based PLN Dynamic Dialogue Constructed

31. “ ” PLN’s are deliberately formed networks of people and resources capable of guiding our independent learning goals and our professional development needs. Corrine Weisberger (via slideshare)

33. LGLC – based on ning platform Core curriculum Referenced articles (delicious, citeulike, diig) Discussion board: Case discussions Journal club Member topics Member Blog – reflection & narrative medicine RSS feeds to other blogs, microblogs

34. Format

35. Mindfulness & Social Media Doesn’t all this pull us away from the present? From each other? It may… or it might not. “The LGLC has changed the way I practice medicine more than any other thing I have done since med school. I have become a better doctor.” – Radiation Oncologist 20 years into practice
