Learning via the Social Media Game
Posted on July 25, 2011 by Roxanne Darling
Tomorrow I am working with an esteemed group of coral reef scientists here in Hawaii to illustrate various ways to use social media. I will be using a version of The Social Media Game, an interactive learning process originally developed by my darling colleague Beth Kantor a few years ago. I’ve updated it and added 12 more “tools” – and am still…

A Social Media Tutorial with LinkedIn
Posted on March 25, 2011 by Roxanne Darling

Sometimes the synchronicities are too much to ignore, so today’s post is about recurring instances of a brand name. That is the spiritual undertone for how the internet follows memes of words and vibrations too. Here are the three learning points: * SocMed 101: What can you share that will enable others to talk about you? * SocMed 202: Good manners have…

Case Study: US Navy in Hawaii Uses Social Media During #hitsunami
Posted on March 16, 2011 by Roxanne Darling
As a direct result of the U.S. Navy’s outreach to bloggers here in Hawaii, I have been fortunate to both participate in some outstanding programs (like an overnight embark on the USS Nimitz) and also developed enormous respect for their adoption of social media (video interview) and their orderly and standardized approach. They are among the best examples of what I often…

Brain Crack, Innovation, Leadership
Posted on June 9, 2010 by Roxanne Darling
Forget the 30,000′ view of the marketplace, I am going into space for some cosmic observations. I invite you to debate a few of these ideas – one person’s perspective is never enough to really get a complete sense of things! What is Brain Crack?

Cam Conversation: Business Travel to Hawaii, NextLevelHI, Facebook Privacy
Posted on May 6, 2010 by Roxanne Darling
Here is the next installment in my web cam conversations with you. I am experimenting with the new uStream Producer “desktop application.” It allows me to record and live stream at the same time, while mixing in graphics, etc. You’ll see a small attempt at that at the end. Over time you will see many different forms and iterations of these web…

Hawaii Tsunami Proves Social Media Power Again: Information is a Tonic
Posted on February 27, 2010 by Roxanne Darling
How do you explain the calm and cooperation that was everywhere in evidence during the wind up to the Hawaii tsunami alert? Social media has earned a spot alongside our government planners and traditional news media. The user-generated messages supported both of those organizations on a second by second basis. If you think about the mechanics of panic, it largely stems from…
