SOCIAL MEDIA – PERIODIC TABLE


SOCIAL MEDIA – PERIODIC TABLE

The photo above links to the interactive Periodic Table of Social Media Tools which includes elements under categories like information searching sites, social networking sites, information/media storage sites, task oriented sites etc like Google, Twitter, Skype, Facebook, Type pad, Yahoo and many more.
This is a project that began as part of the course development for the Media Track at CADCA's 2011 Mid-Year Training Institute by Dr. Tom Workman, LaDonna Coy and Jason Verhoosky, who designed and coded links to each of the elements, and Sue Stine went through a number of conversations, list creation, sorting, disagreeing, agreeing and an amazing amount of collaboration, they came up with the Periodic Table of Social Media Tools. 
According to Wikipedia, the Periodic Table is not a static thing:
“The layout of the table has been refined and extended over time, as new elements have been discovered, and new theoretical models have been developed to explain chemical behavior”
So, this is a version of the periodic table for social media and can be revised as the new elements are discovered.
