This past Saturday I had the pleasure of helping out at the Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology. I, along with Christian, Tim, Gary, Mark, and Jim, manned the demo area where we showed examples of social computing. I mostly talked about flickr and tried to use it as a jumping off point to talk about both tagging and examples of how web 2.0 aids collaboration.
Probably due to the many good sessions during the day, we didn't see a lot of traffic in our area. While we may not have had many visitors relative to the high turnout for the symposium this year, I feel we did get a chance to have a good dialogue with the attendees that did stop in. Are more people around campus becoming familiar with social tools and thus didn't feel the need for further explanation?
