by Popular Demand! Webinar Advisory Board
Chair Karen Thurmond returns with team members
from our December 2007 broadcast and a new addition to tell
us more about what's "on the horizon" in the area
of technology that we can harness creatively to assist us
in engaging our students. If you missed our first event
on this topic, which began the discussion of how we can use
social networking tools (i.e. Facebook), virtual
learning environments (i.e. Blackboard) and podcasting
as creative expressions of our advising expertise, you may
want to obtain the recording
of that broadcast in addition to registering for this one!
Join
Terry Musser (Penn State University), Art
Esposito (Virginia Commonwealth University) and Wes
Lipschultz (University of Pittsburgh) as they
explain
why “meme” is the word of choice to describe what Web 2.0
is - as well as how its use is important to understanding
how technology may be viewed pragmatically by advisors
explain
how Social Media applications (such as instant messaging,
social networking, podcasts, and wikis), when viewed through
the lens of Web 2.0, can and should be manipulated by advisors
and advisees for whatever purposes they see fit
provide
easy inroads to these applications that may help you engage
your advisee population
discuss
how we as advisors may add unique value to the applications,
and our advisees may add unique value as well
add to their
previous discussion of Facebook usage wtih advisess
by explaining how many NACADA members are using this tool
for professional networking
Our
Presenters have been utilizing these applications for the
past three years and have found each of them invaluable tools
to connect with Millennial Generation students. Further, they’ve
found that maintenance of profiles in student environments,
if exercised with caution, can lead to a greater sense of
our relevance in the lives of our advisees, thereby making
our counsel and advice more effective.
