Presentation about Web 2.0I made a couple of presentations last Spring about technologies commonly referred to as Web 2.0 technologies. (One on May 9, 2007 and another on May 31, 2007. I will be making another presentation on District Opening Day, Sept. 20, 2007. This site is being updated to correlate with that presentation, not the two earlier ones.) I talked about wikis, social networking, RSS, blogs, podcasts, various photo sharing sites, mashups, and virtual worlds (like Second Life). Here is a PDF document of the Web 2.0 slides I used on May 9 and here is the one for the May 31 presentation. Of course neither files are nearly as dynamic as the actual presentation and the conversation that ensued. ;-)
Here's the PDF file of the Opening Day Presentation I did on 9/20/07 to start the 07-08 academic year.
Here are the links to various sites I showed or discussed:
Web 2.0
- The Machine is Us/ing Us YouTube Video (here's an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education about the instructor who made this video)
- What is Web 2.0? by Tim O’Reilly
- Technical description of Web 2.0 YouTube Video
- Wired but not Web 2.0? That’s normal, study says, news.com story
- Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything, by Donald Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams, Penguin Books, 2006. (Okay so this isn't exactly a Web 2.0 web site, but it's an excellent book about what Web 2.0 means for society, economics, businesses, etc. If you want to do "Wikinomics: The Website" then go here! It has a blog, a wiki, and yes, even how to get the book...)
- Thomson Publishing Survey of College Faculty about Web 2.0 Technologies in Teaching
Wikis/Wikipedia
Social Networking
Social Bookmarking (not to be confused with "Social Networking")
RSS
Weblogs (Blogs)
Podcasts
- Visit the De Anza iTunes U site
- EDUCAUSE Review article, Confessions of a Podcast Junkie, by Carie Windham, about podcasting in higher education and how she became "addicted" to podcasts. Although the title is catchy the article is a pretty substantive review of how students and faculty are using podcasting in their classes, with a useful list of tips for faculty near the end of the article.
- EDUCAUSE PDF document on 7 Things You Should Know About Podcasting
Photo Sharing Sites
Google Mashups
Virtual Worlds (Second Life)
The Impact of Web 2.0 on Our Students- Kansas State University's Digital Ethnography department's video about what the average student does during a typical 24-hour day. Very effective and provocative!
- And here's another interesting YouTube video from Colorado developed to get conversation started about how to educate high school students in our new Web 2.0 environment; Did You Know 2.0? Who says all the innovative thinking is centered here in Silicon Valley?
