Thanks, Dr. Witt. I am very interested in new ideas about how to leverage web2.0 (and web3.0 as defined by Christopher Klaus at SoCon07) for education use, especially higher education since that's where I am. Chuck Robertson at our school is doing some interesting projects with del.icio.us and facebook. I'm using those also. Higher education is also using a number of web technologies like WebCT, Blackboard, and Wimba, but those companies haven't really figured out the social side of things yet. There is a new product, http://elgg.org/, designed from the ground up to bring social networking to education, and it is opensource, but I wonder if systems like this, standalone and closed to some degree, are the answer. It seems to me better to leverage existing pervasive networks and platforms. I look forward to hearing from everyone.
Hi Mark and Everyone:
Mark is interested in Social Networking and Education, he has some thoughts about it for SoCon08. So Mark, tell us your thoughts? I know a few other people are interested in SoCon08 and education. They too should jump into the conversation.
