Utilizando medios sociales para gestionar conocimiento
2 ene 09Fred Wilson cita en su blog una historia sobre cómo Mark Zuckerberg, el fundador de Facebook, consiguió aprobar un examen al tiempo que lograba que el conjunto de la clase mejorase su conocimiento sobre la materia. ¿Cómo? Con medios sociales:
At Davos, Mark told the story of an art class he took at Harvard. He was busy starting Facebook and didn't have time to attend the class or study. The final exam was a week away and he was worried about flunking. So he went to the Internet and downloaded images of all the art that he knew would be on the exam (not sure how he knew that - Jeff leaves that part out). He puts them all up on a web page and adds blank boxes under each of them. Then he emails the web page to all of his classmates and tells them he just put up a study guide. The class responds by marking up the page, editing each other, and getting it perfect. Zuckerberg aces the exam, of course, but also the professor told him that the entire class had done much better than usual on the exam.
