I had the pleasure this morning of speaking on a keynote panel at our annual Faculty Technology Days here at the U of Calgary. My fellow panelists were D’Arcy Norman, Dr. Maria Bakardjieva, and Todd Andre, and we were billed as "experts" on social networking as a communication and learning tool. You can see the outline of D’Arcy’s intro to Social Networking and my brief outline for how libraries are using Facebook specifically on the wiki page dedicated to this talk. I found the session really interesting – we’d structured it to get a lot of audience participation (72 or so registered), and we did, including interesting thoughts from students (Todd) and teaching faculty. I hadn’t realized how overburdened some of them feel w/o having to learn about new social networks and how to work them into their curriculum. Not that I’d recommend sitting through the whole thing as the quality of the recording is low, but I created an account with ustream.tv and we streamed the session live, and recorded it as well. It’s here if you want to give it a crack:
