What's an educator to do? How, and where, can connect with your students in this vast new world called "Web 2.0".

If you want to learn more about social media and social networking, and how they can help you reach your students, then we hope you will join us at this free conference, organized by the system's Teaching and Learning Team.

Explore how instructors are using social networking and online interactive technologies to to connect, communicate, collaborate, create, and contribute, expanding the boundaries of instruction beyond the walls of the classroom and the boundaries of  the course management system. This conference will give you the insights and ideas you'll need to meet your students where they are...meeting, talking, and learning...online.

• Keynote address:  Knowledge, Communication and Social Networking In Our Classrooms
• In addition to the keynote, the other morning sessions will focus on topics of interest to administrators including deans, admissions directors, and those involved in college marketing and recruitment, in addition to faculty.
• Afternoon breakout sessions will offer a wide choice of topics, which will focus on how social media/social networking online tools can facilitate instruction, and how they can be used with Blackboard Vista.
