CNIE - Pro-D Event - Socializing Teaching and Learning

Not quite K-12, but in keeping with the theme of the nature of today's students.

Below is the description of our next Wise & Witty Weekday session for this academic year.

Title: Socializing Teaching and Learning
George Siemens
12 December 2007 at 1:00 P.M. (Eastern)
Mode: Elluminate Live!

ABSTRACT
********

During the last five years, the web has shifted from an information presentation medium to a medium of social exchange. Many of today’s frequently referenced applications and tools – blogs, wikis, podcasts, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace – are social in nature. How do these tools impact teaching? This session will explore a broad range of social technologies and consider their use in teaching and learning.
