[Slides] Social Software in Higher Education

Meredith Farkas shows us just how differently each generation looks at education, and how generational differences can create tension in our current classroom. The concept of 'Social Software' is introduced to further analyze the evolving nature of classrooms. The use of Wikis and Blogging are encouraged to give the student more power and control over their education.  Meredith Farkas further warns us that even though 'Social Software' can have a perennial impact on education, we need to remember that they are only tools, and teachers still must teach, like they should.
