AMERICAN UNIVERSITYWASHINGTON, DC
SOCIAL LEARNING SUMMITWelcome to the 2012
It’s been a big year for social media, technology and education and we have a lot to talk about. We are so excited to have you with us for the weekend and on behalf of the American University Social Media Club, I want to thank you for attending the 2012 Social Learning Summit. As many of you know, the bar has been set high.
This year’s Social Learning Summit is back and better than ever.
We’ve got new speakers, new sponsors, and new topics to discuss. This year’s conference aims to bring together students, educators, and professionals to learn from and with each other. Topics will cover a wide range of issues at the intersection of education, technology, and social media. This year, we’ll have new discussion topics including so-cial entertainment, fashion and how big businesses are using social media.
We are lucky to have speakers from iStrategyLabs, Uber DC, Google, Ogilvy & Mather, Edelman, LinkedIn, the White House and many more. We have received lots of support from the community, and this event would not be possible without generous donations from our sponsors.
Last year, #sls11 became a trending topic in DC... twice! Like social media, this conference is not a one-way street, it is a conversation. We hope you will help us to make this conference as interactive as possible and join us in live-tweeting our way through the weekend, interacting with speakers and asking juicy questions.
Thank you SO much for coming, and I hope this weekend is a game-changer!
Best, Chloë Troia, President AU Social Media Club (@ChloeTroia)
About the AU Social Media Club
Founded in the fall of 2011 by Alex Priest and Megan Ackerman, the AU Social Media Club has become one of the most active and rapidly growing organizations at American University. With over 50 active members, a robust Executive board and a supportive Faculty presence, the club has three main goals: bring social media into the classroom, increase social media literacy, and connect our members with DC professionals.
If you take a peek at our Twitter feed, you’ll see that the 2011-2012 academic year has been jam-packed with events, training sessions, and campus-wide campaigns. In true social media fashion, we thought we’d give you an Instagram recap of some of our favorite moments.

What is Social Learning?
By Miranda Gale, @MirandaGale AU SMC Director of Online Operations 2011
Welcome to the social age.
Bolstered by technology, our communications are now instanta-neous. Individuals all over the world are being empowered with a digital voice.
For the last century, social learning theory has argued that learning takes place in a social context, through observational modeling and imitation of superiors. Indeed, we believe the best type of learn-ing is conversational. It is collaborative. It is social and encourages close communication between educator and novice to explore new topics, expose erroneous beliefs, and bring clarity to current events. However, amidst the use of social media for booming enterprise and world revolutions, the wide array of digital tools have been largely unengaged for the purpose of learning.
It is time we learn from each other and with each other about what’s next in education. The American University Social Media Club seeks to work with educators, students, and professionals to inte-grate these revolutionary new social teaching methods which utilize social media and new technologies into higher education. The Social Learning Summit was organized to bring awareness to this growing movement of individuals looking towards the future of social media curriculum in higher education.
Let the conversations begin.

Out of Print & Onscreen: Journalism & Social MediaSIS Founder’s Room /// #OPrint
In an age when we get the news from blogs and apps instead of the Sunday newspaper, it’s safe to say that journalism is a totally different ball game. Social media is changing how we consume news and turning it into a two-way street. With decreasing attention spans and increasing commit-ments, we’ve become accustomed to 140 character tweets instead of 4 page articles. How do print publications including magazines and newspapers adapt and what technologies currently exist to facilitate these changes?

Social Business Success: Sponsored by DoubleTree by HiltonRoom 102 /// #SocialBiz
How do you give a company of thousands a single voice? It is no easy task and companies today must find a way to give themselves a clear, consistent and eloquent voice that reflects their mission and values all while mak-ing sure that no angry ex-employees hack the Twitter account. Hear from corporate comm experts that know a thing or two about social business.

SATURDAY, MARCH 31 3:30 PMDigital RunwayRoom 233 /// #DigRunway
With the cult-like popularity of fashion bloggers, (á la Man Repeller, Bry-anboy, and Oscar PR girl) fans are given minute-by-minute updates that have propelled the industry into social media mecca. The fashion industry is embracing social media platforms as a way to live stream new collec-tions, show off the latest trends, debut new designers, and connect with followers. The digitization of fashion has made it possible for the best kind of brand engagement that advertising dollars can’t buy: a conversation.

We grew up with social media, of course we know what to do. Right? WRONG. Social media is about more than just liking things and posting funny cat pictures, social media is an opportunity to develop a personal brand and improve your job prospects. This panel will include experts on personal branding and job hunting. Attendees can expect to come out of this panel with some great tips for developing a personal brand and finding a job.

Tweeting for Change: Social Media & ActivismRoom 102 /// #TweetActWhen you’re clicking “like” or tweeting about a cause, what’s your impact and how effective is it? Is this generation of students less motivated to truly act than in the past? Or are they simply armed with different tools? With the ability to communicate globally and provide on-the-spot news, where is social media and activism heading? Will the conversations stay online or will they translate into action?
