Update: I presented on the topic of Alternative Professional Development to the UCSB NASPA Undergrad Fellowship Program (NUFP) on April 6, 2012 which included the materials below. Presentation on slideshare.
I wrote about the benefits I have gotten from social media here, Powered by Twitter: Social Media Experience of a Student Affairs Techie. These benefits include meeting colleagues in student affairs and technology professionals from all over the United States and Canada as well as learning from others via blogs, twitter, facebook and now google+. Below is a diagram how I access and manage contents I come across from different social media platforms as part of my personal learning network and for entertainment. Image below links to the pdf diagram.
What of these social media sites do you use? How are you using social media as a personal learning tool? Any other sites you could recommend for me to use?

I’ve played with almost all those sites, but find myself settling into certain ones to fill certain needs. New ones need to battle their way into my workflow to make me a convert. But I will almost always try any new tool.
