Comments from some of those who selected Facebook as one of their top tools
“It’s the tool (social network) I use to establish relations on a personal level, ask people their opinions and check the pulse about whatever subject I am interested in.” Daniel Perdigão, Chief Energizer Officer, Portugal, 2020
“A lot of my work is generated through our Facebook presence, and it’s also a great way for me to track students who have graduated and to stay in touch with colleagues.” Aaron Johannes, Instructor / Consultant / Researcher, Canada, 2020
“Lots of ideas that can be built upon come from Facebook” Deborah Gemmell, L&D Partner, UK, 2020
“I’m a member of a couple of professional groups for knowledge sharing” Cat Malcom, Design Practice Manager, Australia
“Social networks are a big part of my learning, which means that Facebook and LinkedIn also play big roles. Facebook’s more personal, ie less about work, but I learn about many societal things there. And LinkedIn is a place for learning as well, professionally as opposed to personally.” Clark Quinn, USA, 2020
