Social Software in Teaching and Research
In : Uncategorized, Posted by Laura Blankenship on Jan.01, 2009
On Wednesday, I’ll be conducting a day-long workshop at Gettysburg College through NITLE’s wonderful programming. In preparation for the workshop, I prepared the following resources. There’s so much out there now on using different social software tools for teaching that it’s hard to keep the list short. I just threw a few things in each category. If you know of other resources I should include, let me know.
