A workshop? On Facebook? I need student brains.

Posted By: jpallen July 20, 2007

Question: Does writing half a paper, and having 40 online friends, make me an expert on social networking? Maybe!

I’ll be running a social networking workshop for faculty and staff at USF on October 24th. What I need are two (or more) students to stop by the workshop and chat for a few minutes about how they use Facebook. It will be fun, I promise! If you can help out, let me know.

The enticing workshop description (10/24/07, 12:15-1:15pm, Center for Instruction & Technology):

SOCIAL NETWORKING

Are you on Facebook yet? This workshop will either inspire you to connect and collaborate with your students and colleagues in exciting new ways, or leave you shaking your head in wonder. We will discuss: how students, academics, and professionals are using social networking; tips for how to cope with students being your “friend” and other interesting dilemmas; the new applications being built on top of social networking; and how social networking can fit into a larger online collaboration strategy that includes profiles, social bookmarking, blogs, wikis, and shared task lists.

    Hey JP – what time is the workshop on the 24th?

    If you still needed a student to give their input on Facebook, I’d be willing to help out.
