According to Franks and Smallwood (2013), information has become the lifeblood of every business
organization, and the volume of information today has increased and been exchanged through the use of
social networks and Web2.0 tools like blogs, microblogs, and wikis.
When looking at social media in the enterprise, there is a notable difference in functionality between e-
mail and social media, and has been documented by research, “…that social media differs greatly from
e-mail use due to its maturity and stability.” (Franks & Smallwood, 2013).
Primary Response:
Please identify and clearly state the differences between social media and email use functionality.
Peer Response(s): Read the responses from your peers and offer a constructive critique or additional
information that adds substantively to the discussions. Be sure to acknowledge any outside sources you
use.
Your responses to other students must be more than a simple “Good job” or “I agree with your post.” They
must also not just be “Let me add to your post…” Instead, your responses to each other should do three
things:
- Acknowledge the other student’s post with some form of recognition about what they posted
- Relate their posting to something you have learned or are familiar with
- Add to the conversation by asking additional questions about their post, or discussing their topic further
Remember, this is a discussion forum. Your engagement with each other should be similar to how you
would speak with each other if you were seated at the same table talking.
Your initial response to the question posed is due by Wednesday of each week of the course and you must
respond to a minimum of two other learners (peers) during the week. The peer responses are due by
Sunday.
You must support your statements and ensure that you properly cite and reference your sources.
