Social Media Week (SMW) is coming up in September and there are some interesting initiatives this year that point to a need to understand the tools and technologies that have influenced the way we have come to work online and off. Skillshare, the learning marketplace where anyone can learn anything from anyone else willing to teach, is teaming up with Social Media Week to launch the School of Emerging Media and Technology. There are so many alternative education platforms around at the moment and this partnership means that those who are regular attendees of Social Media Week will have the opportunity to share their knowledge while people just starting to learn can learn from the specific experiences of practitioners who have maybe been forming their own skills over the past few years.
