Beta Phi Mu Talk
This past Monday night I was thrilled to be invited to speak to Pratt’s Beta Phi Mu Theta chapter about Web 2.0. While only a few participants had heard of Web 2.0 before the session, everyone was very open-minded and extremely quick to catch on. We went through an hour-long whirlwind of 2.0 applications and concepts in an interactive tour which I really enjoyed. Although it went fast, the students have the wiki and the account passwords to practice and play around with later. I really like the idea of teaching from wikis, not only because of the “eat your own dogfood” principle, but because students then walk away with a resource from which they can continue to learn. Thanks to everyone who came and participated, and thanks to the Theta chapter for having me.
