Is your personal MySpace page really personal? Do you know what
Flickr is? This session explores some of the positive uses of
social networking, the drawbacks and recent events that have made
the news. It will include a brief introduction into some of today’s
popular technologies — PageFlakes, delicious, blogging, wikis,
Flickr, Facebook, podcasting, Second Life, You Tube, SingShot,
ResultR and Flock — that you and/or your students may be using. The
session will also promote discussion on the ways that “public”
personal life may be held against you.
