  3. a social network! The web is now

  4. The social part is what makesthe web2.0

  5. 2.0 stuff … like what?

  6. The thing is though … There are seemingly a million social sites.

  7. The nice thing is that most 2.0 apps fall into some simple categories. • blogging • Blogger • microblogging • Twitter • document sharing / collaboration • Google Docs • photo sharing • Flickr / Picasa • video sharing • YouTube / Vimeo • social bookmarking • del.icio.us • crowdsourced content • Wikipedia / Medpedia • social networking • Facebook / MySpace Uh oh! That wasn’t so simple!

  9. 23 Things / Learning 2.0 This workshop is adapted from the Learning 2.0 project at the the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County. Their Learning 2.0 Program is a discovery learning program designed to encourage staff to explore new technologies. plcmcl2-things.blogspot.com

  10. Learning Outcomes for today • RSS and Blogs • iGoogle & Google Reader • Document collaboration • Google Docs • Microblogging • Twitter • Social networking • Facebook

  13. Google Account This is worthwhile because you can use it for Gmail, Blogger, Picasa, iGoogle, Google Docs. Let’s set up yours now. If you already have one, help your neighbor. www.google.com/accounts

  14. Brevity is the soul of wit.

  16. I’m the king of Twitter!

  17. Oprah tweeted for the first time last Friday and on Thursday of the next week she had 534,822 followers causing a 43% increase in Twitter traffic.. http://www.eonline.com/videos/v20065708001_Oprah_s_First_Tweet.html

  18. A Twitter revolution? Student Protests Are Turning Into A Twitter Revolution In Moldova “Students in Moldova are using Twitter as a tool to mobilize opposition against a communist victory in Moldovian elections. According to reports, close to 10,000 protesters gathered at Moldova’s parliament” LeenaRao Techcrunch.com

  21. In a 2008 study of Valparaiso University freshman, 92% use Facebook

  22. The “demographic (from 18 to 25 years old) is 52% of Facebook's user base, averaging 30 to 45 minutes each day on the site.” Information Today March 2008

  23. So … Digital natives definitely use Facebook.

  24. And digital natives can get upset when changes are made … http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/19/french-fury-parisians-hit-the-streets-in-protest-against-facebook-redesign/

  25. Digital natives … huh? One way to understand social-networking sites like Facebook and MySpace is to consider that younger digital natives are not necessarily being exhibitionists when they post photographs of themselves and share personal details there. Instead, these users are living a life in which consciousness is spread out evenly over two platforms: real life and the Web. -Sasha Frere-Jones The New Yorker (04.20.09)

  26. What do digital natives do with Facebook? • Photos: Facebook is the #1 photo sharing application on the web almost 3 times larger than the next largest, Flickr. • Status Updates:You can microblog in Facebook, too. You can link them with tools like Ping.fm. • Connect:Facebook does this, too. • Share:Facebook is a great place to share new information you’ve found. (Upside down tomatoes!)
