Pat Sendall, Anthony Serapiglia, and I are presenting on Social Media: Beyond Facebook and Twitter at a panel at ISECON 2011.

Earlier at ISECON I presented a paper on The Silver Lining: A Teaching Case Using Google Docs to teach Cloud Computing Concepts.

Slides and a Mind Map on Social Media and Web 2.0 Tools after the jump.

This mindmap is on Web 2.0 tools.

Here are the slides for the Cloud Computing paper.

As Cloud Computing becomes an increasingly important technology strategy and solution for businesses, it is important for today’s students to be aware of the various services that the Cloud offers. While many first-year college students have heard of the term Cloud Computing and used Google Docs, a popular web-based office suite of applications for collaboration, their knowledge of how the Cloud is used in a business environment is limited. This paper describes an introductory lesson that builds on student familiarity with Google Docs to illustrate the concepts of Infrastructure, Software, Data, and Platform as a Service. The paper concludes with student reflections on their learning from this lesson based on anecdotal and survey data.
