Session Type: Morning Seminar
Web-based collaborative and social networking tools (Web 2.0) are becoming increasingly sophisticated while gaining in penetration in higher education and beyond. Many educators and support personnel, overwhelmed by the quantity and diversity of tools available and the hype associated with them, don't know where to begin or how to best use each tool.
The goal of this seminar is to provide hands-on experience working with a number of popular Web-based applications such as Flickr, del.icio.us, MediaWiki, Google Docs, MySpace, Facebook, and RSS syndication and to develop the skills to put them to work for productivity, information dissemination, and educational applications. Examples of existing applications of these tools in higher education will also be shown and discussed. Participants are expected to have an active web-accessible e-mail account.
PLEASE NOTE: You will need to bring a laptop with wireless connectivity and a Web browser installed. You will also need an e-mail account that can be accessed at the conference via the web. If circumstances prevent you from bringing a laptop to the seminar, please e-mail Victoria Fanning at vfanning@educause.edu.
