Overview
We began this semester by discussing Web 2.0, social media, and networking?

The text book we used for the class is Clay Shirky's Here Comes Overbody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations.

Blogging and Microblogging
We learned to create a blog on both a public and private domain.

Paul provided the following list of resources:
 * |"Making Sense of Social Media: Micro-blogging"
 * |Making Sense of Social Media: Twitter
 * |Educase: 7 Things You Should Know About Twitter

Video and Audio Podcasting/Digital Storytelling
We then learned to use video and audio podcasting to illustrate our topics. A digital storyboard was used to help map out our ideas.
