Subscribe by RSSGrokshop: Web 2.0 for Academics
Posted by Ken Fujiuchi on October 27, 2006
Update: This workshop was not properly advertised, and had a low turnout. In case you missed it, I will provide some of the materials that I used during the presentation.
Monday, October 30th 2006 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM, Butler Library Room 210
Web 2.0 is a lot like chess. Simple to learn, a lifetime to master. These “grokshops” will provide an overview of some of the common Web 2.0 tools and how they are being used in the academic setting. This will be a presentation for anyone interested in seeing what Web 2.0 has to offer in an academic setting, and help determine if its worth diving into the Web 2.0 world.
