Social networking - friend or foe? Practical workshops

17 Sep, 2010 by Ian Watson

Social networking tools - blogs, microblogs, wikis - make it easier than ever to create and share content and communicate in real time across boundaries and hierarchies. Unlike desktop computing skills, such as word processing, social networking is experiential in nature.  You have to try it to understand it and that understanding is cultural rather than procedural.

We are running a series of workshops to provide that cultural experience.  You will be introduced to and experiment with

- Microblogging (Twitter)
- Social bookmarking (Delicious, Diigo)
- News Feeds (RSS)
- Meeting Schedulers
- Communities of Practice
- Web browsers
