#SocMedHE17

My co-presenters Sue Beckingham, Neil Withnell, Chris Rowell and Deb Baff at last year’s SocMedHE16If the twitter hashtag (#SocMedHe17) I followed today was anything to go by, the 3rd Annual Social Media in Higher Education conference, held today at Sheffield Hallam University, was a great success.

I made a twitter moment and a Storify story (plus archive) of the event, but from my remote vantage point, the highlights were:

I went last year and I hope to go next year. I just need something to present!

Extra: Scott Turner made a TAGS database of #SocMedHE17.

As part of our preparation for our presentation for Social Media in Higher Education in December (#SocMedHE16), the team is looking at various ways to assess the impact of the weekly #LTHEchat. As part of this, I agreed to attempt to record a flavour of the excitement of the event by capturing snapshots of the growth of the network over a twenty-four hour period using Martin Hawksey’s TAGSExplorer which generated this visualisation, and Jing.

I created a storify of the tweets and some of the reaction:

We should definitely reflect on Richard Treves’ comments that appear at the end of the story:
