Social media and emerging technologies are gaining increased attention for use in education. The list of tools grows daily.  Examples: blogs, wikis, Ning, podcasts, Facebook, Twitter, Second Life, cloud computing, surface computing, mobile learning, and so on.

“Social Media” seminars explore the impact of new technologies, research, and related projects.
