Presentation about Web 2.0

I made a few presentations when I worked in De Anza's Distance Learning department about technologies commonly referred to as Web 2.0 technologies. (One on May 9, 2007 and another on May 31, 2007, and another on District Opening Day, Sept. 20, 2007).  During those presentations 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.  And here's the PDF file of the Opening Day Presentation I did on 9/20/07 to start the 07-08 academic year. Of course none of the files are nearly as dynamic as the actual presentation and the conversation that ensued.    ;-) 

Here are the links to various sites I showed or discussed:

Social Bookmarking (not to be confused with "Social Networking")

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?
