Kind of hard to follow - Steven Downes describing his white board scribblings in a noisy room. I like it because it is authentic. I've listened to it more carefully now prompted by your posting. I like networks much better!-
thanks-

Welcome to week 3 of the Using Social Media in Education session presented by SCoPE and BC Campus.

For those of you who were busy with the holiday festivities in the US, here is a summary of the highlights from last week.

Last Week

• Jason Toal's elluminate session was a hit! Nicely facilitated by Paul Stacey. Sylvia Currie provided the recording of Jason 's Ellumitate Session and a link to his interesting Tags, Tagging, and Tagclouds wiki.
  
• Facillitators Tia Carr Williams and Ian Macleod have stirred up some serious conversations in the discussion threads. If you have a moment, it is worthwhile to review these popular threads from last week.
  

• Sandy Hirtz presented the group with an opportunity to participate in the Collaborative Book Project - and provided an online information session on Thursday. If you have a contribution, especially on the subject of social media, contact Sandy, she can give you more information on how to participate.

Thanks Jason for that illuminating and well paced session this afternoon.

I learned things I didn't know about tagging and folksonomies.

No tuition fees, pre-requisites, room bookings or dreary bus trips required.

Your choice of ale gladly provided at my expense.

Thanks!

Hi Sandy,

I've had a look at your project wiki in the past few days - Impressive!

Planning to be in the elluminate room at noon today.

Happy to do what I can to help.
