Social Computing Tools

In this topic we will be looking at Social Computing Tools. So it seems like a good idea to use one - in this case a Blog, for this part of the unit. Social Computing tools have come about through the development of the read/write Web otherwise known as Web 2.0.

For this topic we will be looking a little at:

What Web 2.0 is all about
Some of the Social Computing Tools
How they can be used in the classroom

We will be alternating between this site and the Web CT site. So if you’re the Starter or Wrapper for this topic simply post the relevant posts to your Group’s boards.

If you’re the Starter you need to do summaries based upon the readings accessed from this site.

You might like to start blogging yourself. If you do the go to the UNE Blog Site and create a Blog. Once your up and running I can link you to this site if you wish.
