Social Media to engage & connect at the NE CPE conference
Another example of using social media to engage a broader audience. In this case I used twiQer to get feedback from CPAs about the use of social media in learning. It also informed CPAs about the NE CPE Conference so they “heard” that we were working hard to improve the learning for them. The followed up with a blog post about the event and got more engagement with comments from the group.

“In a period of rapid change and increasing complexity, the winners are going to be the people who can LEARN faster than the rate of CHANGE and faster than their COMPETITION.”
-‐ Tom Hood, CPA.CITP.CGMA 7/15/13 T

Why students should care about Social Media
“In-‐forming is the individual person's analog to open-‐sourcing, outsourcing, insourcing, supply-‐chaining, and offshoring. Informing is the ability to build and supply your own personal supply chain—a supply chain of informa?on, knowledge, and entertainment. In-‐forming is about self-‐collabora?on—becoming your own self-‐directed and self-‐empowered researcher, editor, and selector of entertainment.
– Thomas Friedman
