Opening Panel

Social Networking: Examining the Potential for Teaching and Learning, A Panel Discussion
With Rebecca Petersen, Moderator

Much has been reported in the media about the use of "social" technologies such as mySpace, Facebook, flickr, YouTube, blogs and wikis. Even if you do not use these tools directly, chances are that many of your students (or your student's students) do. The Institute kicks-off with a panel discussion with Lesley undergraduates and graduate students, and their faculty, discussing the uses of social technologies and the implications in and out of the classroom.

Students and faculty will show examples of their work and invite discussion with the audience. This session provides an excellent chance to hear and see directly from students on how they personally relate and use these tools in and out of academic life.
