Facebook Empresas: Negocios En Facebook Usando Sus Páginas Facebook: Un Documento Libre Acerca De Las Páginas De Facebook por The Advance Guard Introducción A Esta Guía De Facebook En marzo de 2009, Facebook cambió sus páginas para marcas y empresas, con la introducción de un diseño mejorado y opciones de funcionalidad que más estrechamente hicieron eco en el formato de los perfiles personales. Hasta ahora, la presencia de las marcas en muchas páginas de Facebook han incluido el diseño y el layout en la parte superior de la misma, utilizando paneles gráficos estáticos o animaciones en Flash. Esta jerarquía hacía que el contenido destacado permaneciera aislado de la actividad social que ha conducido al compartimiento viral de contenido entre los usuarios regulares de Facebook. Con este lanzamiento, todo ha cambiado. Atrás han quedado las áreas fijas gráficas (o más bien - hacia otro lado, como veremos), sustituidas por un lifestream de la actividad normal que los usuarios de Facebook reconocerán por sus propios perfiles.
15 Frequently Asked Questions About Facebook Pages Facebook provides a comprehensive Help Center with its own range of FAQs along with helpful content from a vast number of users. [There's even a handy Leaderboard - Top Contributor - with points system to see which users have been most helpful. Links just go to the user's personal Profile, though. It would be great to see all their answers in one place, similar to user profiles on Quora.] The Help Center can be difficult to navigate and zero in on the exact solution for the issue you’re having on Facebook. Then, there’s Facebook Questions which I have yet to find useful, quite frankly. You could certainly search for answers to your Facebook questions on Quora – in many ways, this platform is easier and more helpful than Facebook’s Help Center and Questions. There’s also Yahoo Answers, LinkedIn Answers, Ask.com, Get Satisfaction… but you could keep digging and still not find what you’re looking for! 1. You first need to get a minimum of 25 fans. 2. 3. 4. 5. No. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.
Using Twitter to Amplify Connective Learning and Sharing at ICEL 2010 If the picture above makes no sense, then perhaps you can find some time to watch this 5-minute video tutorial: Besides this, I would like to highlight that if you are an active Twitter user, Monitter might not be the ideal tool to monitor/track a word, phrase or hashtag (e.g. #icel5). Another tool you might want to consider (among several) is TweetDeck, which provides you a host of excellent features to track whatever you want, and also enables conveniently to update your own Twitter world. Alright, so did the #icel5 learning stream idea work? THANK YOU! Also, I would like to give a special thanks to Prof. In addition, Frashad Shah deserves a big thank you for picking me up from the airport and making my trip to the hotel smooth and easy. Besides this, Sue Nugus (Organizer), Issham Ismail (Programme Chair), David M. There were around 100 participants from 19 countries that attended, and that certainly made it more exciting.

5 Real Examples of Using #Twitter for #Education One of the best reasons to set up a Twitter account is because you have a real reason to share timely information with a real audience. For me, I have a Twitter account because I want to share with others when I have new blog posts and I want to read about when those I follow have new information to share. I also enjoy Twitter because my Twitter network always has lots of great ideas and advice to share and I also find that I have a lot of ideas and advice to contribute about educating innovatively with my Twitter network. Additionally, I find it to be a terrific tool for connecting with folks at conferences. Once the tag is set I can Tweet ideas with the tags and have others respond resulting in terrific conversations and deeper, more connected learning. However many innovative educators want more than ideas. 1) Tweet Shout Outs to Students and TeachersAt the Kurt Hahn Expeditionary Learning School Mr. 4) Tweet During LessonsI love incorporating Twitter into my lessons for teachers.
