Notes for workshop on Social Networking:

Started Power Point - put in an introduction with some quotes, the cool "Pay Attention" YouTube that we can play as they get settled...have slides and links for Social Bookmarking and Photosharing, with a description of Folksonomy, and some links of "In Case You Want More" with great sites that list Web2.0 tools for teachers., and some "Further Reading" sites of articles on Web2.0 in the classroom. Twenty one slides already!!! This is going to be a massive presentation!!!

I saw the article in Technology and Learning April 07 and it looks great. I can take it to the TC on MOnday and have copies made for a handout. Then we can make our own handout to add to it, and at least one part is taken care of.... DONE!!! Sorry - I thought I was doing good by sending it and getting it done, since Kathy isn't at the Center all the time. It will be fine, and we can show and link the actual article. I can also bring the Richardson book, since it is referred to in the article.

Do you want to follow its outline, too? It defines Aggregator Blog Folksonomy (tagging) - one slide introducing social bookmarking Photoblog - 3 slides done Podcast RSS Social Bookmarking - 5 slides done Skyping (we hadn't included that!!) Social Calendar - could be eliminated??? Video Podcast (vodcast) - with PodCasting?? Vlog - with Blogging? Web 3D Widget - could include a few fun ones, just if we have time??? Wiki

We had most of these - but not as specific. With time allotted, should we try to do it all?? On the other hand - why not overwhelm them???

This is the site that I want to show at the end....And leave them with a link: [|Go2Web20] CHanged my mind --- Put a link to the "Pay Attention" YouTube video instead. It addresses teachers and the need to catch up to the students! (Put the Go2Web20 at the end - as "In Case you want more....)

Your ideas sound great. You are always so organized. I would love to do Blogs, wiki's, podcasting, videocasting. I am ok with either one off us doing RSS. If it is going to be a fight you can have it. You scare me a bit. Ha Ha. Should I include slideshare? //Sounds good.....Your ideas of posting are excellent - and we can show them as examples. I am not sure where slideshare comes in - we could add tools until we have a day-long workshop!!!// We can post the powerpoint there and add it to my blog if you want or your blog or both.jsut for chuckles. Or link list could be a wiki page - Like Bud the teachers blog list. Then we are using 2 of the technologies in a natural way for examples. //Great! I will get started on a PowerPoint, and then we can merge.// //We can always add another wiki page to this one (adding pages is easy) or start a new wiki. I would love to show them that great PP with all the wonderful tools. There are so many fun things that it will knock their socks off!!// //We can even show part of the video on the tools that students use, and the future....the one on the MannLibrary blog//. //Maybe have it running before we start just to get them focused.// Shall we organixe so we go back and forth so it doesn't look like we just split in half? //Yes, let's share. You can interrupt me anytime, since I tend to forget things.// How long can we give for each part? Not very long it will have to be a real brief thing. //The whole thing lasts 2 hours, right?? Leaving at least 15 minutes to play at the end, means giving each section less than 15 minutes!!! We will be going at the speed of progress!//

Perhaps divide presentation into 5 parts, as was article in Tech magazine that we both read. (When I find it buried on my desk!) Or according to the chapters in Richardson's book: Well, that's more than 5, but you get the idea. For each section, give a brief: Or maybe we should leave the "let them explore" part for the end -- otherwise we will never get through all of them! I agree the explore will need to be at the end or create a half time to let them explore. (Break combined with explore) Those that take a shorter break get longer to explore.
 * The Read/Write web - definitions, examples and what they mean to education
 * Blogs
 * Wikis
 * RSS
 * Social Bookmarking
 * Flickr and other photo sharing tools
 * podcasting and videoblogging (screencasting?)
 * Future tools? -- Not sure I can find anything to list here, but will work on it.
 * 1) what it is
 * 2) how it is used
 * 3) how it can be used in the classroom - specific examples
 * 4) examples of good ones - good blog sites, good wiki opportunities
 * 5) let them explore

As a handout, burn CD's with links to several popular examples of each tool -- also give link to Del.icio.us where we save all of the good examples? or to blog page? make a new webpage of some kind to use during presentation and direct participants there?

Allow lots of time for participants to play and create - like your blog presentation (copy from your blog??)

You can do the Blog and wiki parts - maybe the podcasting/videocasting too??

I can do the Social Bookmarking, photo sharing, future tools.....We can fight over RSS
