Captain's Prologue


Curious about the new and emerging technologies affecting education? Interested in how Facebook and YouTube are shaping the ways millennial students choose to learn? This 8 week online workshop will provide an introduction to some important Web 2.0 applications. What are they? How do they work? How can these innovative tools benefit us in education?

Explore these practical and creative tools at your own pace and at times that are convenient to you! Miss a week or two? Not a problem. Each
week's information will be available by linking to the Blog Archive page in the right hand column of this blog.

Internet: The NEXT Generation
is an online self-discovery program that encourages the exploration of the next Generation of Internet technologies. It is open to all Murray State University staff and faculty.

My name is Lilia Murray and I will be your "captain" over the 8 week trek from January 19th, 2009- March 16th, 2009. I will post weekly videos, readings, and discovery exercises about some of the most popular Web 2.0 tools available. This will be a fun, light introduction to these tools---not a time-consuming stresser.

If you're interested in the program, you must register at beammeup@murraystate.edu. This is very important since registering allows you posting and commenting access to this blog.

So mark your personal manifest and beam aboard on January 19th!
