[slideshare] Beyond Blocking: Embracing the Social Web
The slides above were prepared for a talk I gave with the Canadian Association of Communicators in Education, which represents Canadian information officers from school boards and principals associations.
Designed for non-techies, my presentation provides an introductory overview of web2.0 social media tools and trends. It also concerns challenges unique to school boards, their members and the communities they serve.
In addition to these slides, I created a selection of bookmarked resources, tools, articles and studies referenced in the spoken presentation.
