An intrepid group of explorers joined me last semester for Pellissippi 2.0. We explored some of the concepts behind the definition of social software and Web 2.0 as well as took a whirlwind tour of some of the most popular social networking and social media sites (with a few esoteric detours).

If you didn’t have time to join us last semester or just want to do it all over again, consider joining in Pellissippi 2.1!

This time, we are going to work within our own little social network. So, if you were not really sure about joining Facebook or Flickr or any other social site just yet..this might be just the thing for you. It will be open just to our group but you can still learn about how social networking and social media sites work.

Once you are comfortable with the environment, you can expand out to other sites and see how they might fit in your own personal and professional worlds.

Join us!

If you are not able to go to the FUSION 2008: Desire2Learn Users Conference next month, here’s something to consider.

There is a Hitchhikr site created now.

Hitchhikr, you say? What is that?

From their site:

we can’t always make it to the conferences we need to attend to mix with the people we need to see — face-to-face. This is why Hitchhikr was invented, to provide you with a virtual space where, thanks to blogs, podcasts, and RSS, we can connect, share, respond, and grow knowledge out beyond the place and time of the event. Here are some tutorials on how to tap into the emerging technologies that make Hitchhikr possible.

So, you can visit the page and see all of the blog postings, images, YouTube videos, etc as folks are at the conference and share what they are seeing and learning in a variety of ways.

Could be a fun experiment!!!
