professional development: there's an app for that
DESCRIPTION
presentation given at IdeaPOP! 2012, hosted by the University of South Carolina Division of Student Affairs and Academic Support. Using social media and a few free online tools, you can expand your professional development well beyond the annual conference. Technology can support sustained learning in community – and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In this session, you’ll discover some of the professional benefits of online learning and social networking, and you’ll learn practical ways to use services like Twitter, blog readers and bookmarking apps to collect, share and manage information.TRANSCRIPT

“The 21st century mind is a collective
mind where we access what we know in
our friends’ and colleagues’ brains.
Together we can be smarter and can
address ever more challenging problems.
What we store in our heads may not be as
important as all that we can tap in our
networks. Together we are better.”Bingham, T. and Conner, M.
