Explain Social Learning Without Talking About It

The simple genius of the Common Craft team has done it again. And if we put a learning twist to it, it comes out just as beautifully. Watch this new “In Plain English” video on the topic of Social Media.
When you watch it:
- Replace “Ice Cream” with knowledge/skills/information;
- Replace “Big Ice Cream Company” with your training and/or communication department
- Replace “Flavors” with training programs
- Replace “Ice Cream Maker” and “Board” with new tools
And pay attention to the value statements. Also, notice that the “Big Ice Cream Company” was still around and demand even grew. It is the same with learning. Social Learning does not replace but adds to it.
I love how they talk all about Social Media and barely mention it and the tools. Great presentation example showing that you can explain something without really even talking about it.
