A new day, a new blog…

That’s right, folks. I took the plunge and am now hosting my own WordPress.org blog. This blog will remain available so as to not break any links you might have; however, it will no longer be updated.

P.S. Make sure to update your RSS feeds too!

LearnTrends: Merging Information, Learning and Social Media by Christy Confetti-Higgins

Merging Information, Learning and Social Media

Leveraging social media tools, relationships and content expertise, the Information Services team at Sun Microsystems has integrated info/knowledge into programs like engineering, marketing, sales and learning to drive connections, discovery and knowledge sharing. The focus is on employee learning, keeping the organization smart and providing good information to drive good decisions. You will learn about the value of information services, how it relates to learning and development, and see the use of Social Learning Exchange, wikis, blogs, Twitter, and virtual worlds to create an integrated learning experience around information for Sun employees.
