Classroom 2.0
Eric Gordon (Emerson College) recently gave a talk at Hamilton College titled, “Classroom 2.0: How Online Social Networks are Transforming Academic Life.” Hamilton made it available as a podcast.
Here’s an excerpt from the event description:
Students are entering college with different social patterns, learning habits and cultural expectations. They are consuming and producing within global networks, and have come to demand instant gratification and constant connectivity. So how can colleges and universities respond to this cultural shift without compromising their ideals and mission? How can social networking in the classroom actually increase engagement and productivity? And how can this “culture of participation” work in accordance with existing standards of academic productivity, just as it is transforming the nature of academic work?
